Tuesday started with a Seminar from Paul Gero about Capturing Great Moments. It was a very informative seminar that gave me insight on how to capture the spontaneity and fun of a wedding day. Paul has an extensive background and shared some of his beautiful work. Later I meet up with Mark, Desiree, and John for some eats. From there we headed to the Tradeshow to find out what’s hot in the photography world.
The tradeshow was full of great vendors with plenty of info. There were so many vendors. We walked around for about 2 hours and learned a ton about new products and opportunities.
The afternoon seminar was by the Bebbs. They are truly a unique couple who create exquisite work. They have a amazing way of seeing the light and creating outstanding images. Jenn and Stephen were voted one of the 10 best wedding photographers in the world. They really motivated me to start using available light in a totally different way.
I also attended another seminar that afternoon by Dave and Quin from DQ Studios. These are two people who abound with energy and fun. They really exemplify the meaning of fine art wedding photography. Their work is in a league of it’s own and they truly understand the customer experience. My most memorable comment was “We tell our clients to set high expectations and we’ll blow them away with the results” Now, that’s confidence and they can truly back up that commitement.
That night the ultra fun DWF Bahama Breeze party. My roomate Mark challenged me to shoot all ambient with my 5d. I took his challenge and mated a nice lil 28 1.8 prime to my 5d. I kicked up the ISO to 3200..ooohhh daring! The results blew me away. It really does pay to think differently and try new methods. Here’s the amazing results.
After Bahama Breeze wrapped up we headed over to my favorite club, Studio 54. If you haven’t been, make a plan. It’s really an unbelievable place. The music, the lights, the dancers….ohhhh the dancers! You can see images from there from the link above. Keep in mind, there’s no flash in any of those photos. What a night!
