A Journey of Growth: Taking Stripped Down for the Final Time
Hello lovely Boushie Babes,
I am beyond excited to share some wonderful news with you all! I have won a scholarship to attend the final round of The Art of Emotion in Photography: Stripped Down with the incredibly talented Denise Birdsong. This means I’ll be diving back into online classes this summer and continuing into the fall. With your support, I even hope to attend one of the workshops in person—fingers crossed!
For those who have been with us from the start, you know that Stripped Down has been a significant part of my journey for the last four years. I've been taking this course annually, sometimes even twice a year, to push myself and grow as an artist. This will be my fifth and final round, as Denise is moving on to other exciting ventures. I am determined to make the most of this experience, pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and bringing you all along on this journey.
Stripped Down is not just a course; it’s a transformative experience. It’s about pushing boundaries, exploring the depths of emotion, and capturing the raw, beautiful essence of our subjects. As I prepare to embark on this final round, I reflect on the incredible growth I've experienced and the countless lessons I've learned.
One of the highlights of the course is Selfie Week, which is coming up soon. I’m already brainstorming creative ideas for this year. I recently did headshots, so it's time to think outside the box and capture something unique. It’s an opportunity for me to experiment and express myself in new ways, and I can’t wait to share the results with you.
Through Stripped Down, I’ve learned so many things that weren’t even part of the official curriculum. From nuanced posing tips that you just pick up over time, to lens and gear recommendations tailored to my shooting style—like the beloved "nifty-fifty" lens. I’ve picked up editing tricks, such as perfecting skin tones and mastering masking techniques, and even leveraging AI to streamline my workflow. The actual course content has transformed how I coach and direct my subjects, making posing a breeze when it used to be a challenge just two years ago.
But this journey isn’t just about me. It’s about all of us—those of you who have supported me, and those who are brave enough to embark on your own journey of self-love and discovery. I want to showcase your stories and celebrate your courage. For those willing, ready, and able, let's create something beautiful together.
This summer is going to be packed with exciting projects and opportunities. To make sure you don’t miss out, I encourage you to sign up for our email list. Not only will you stay updated on all the amazing things we have planned, but we also have some exclusive offers just for our email subscribers. Plus, if social media ever goes down, we can stay connected and keep you in the loop.
I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share this final Stripped Down journey with you. Together, let’s explore, create, and grow.
Thank you for being part of this incredible adventure.
With love and gratitude,
Accalia Carter
