Seminar: Smarter work with GraphiStudio

On Thursday I attended the Smarter work with GraphiStudio at the Hilton Hotel, Croydon. I've been offering GraphiStudio WeddingBooks for more than a couple of years now and they really are just magnificent and the best money can buy. I'm excited about the new changes - I know my Brides will just love it!

GraphiStudio WeddingBooks as advertised in Harpers & Queens, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, The Times, Vogue, Brides, Cosmopolitan Bride, Bliss For Brides, You & Your Wedding, Wedding Venues & Services and Wedding Day.

Seminar: Jerry Ghionis, Australian Master Photographer

I had the privilege of attending a seminar presented by Jerry Ghionis, voted one of the world’s top ten wedding photographers by American Photo Magazine, on Monday.

Jerry is such an inspirational photographer and I've been following his work for a couple of years now (I love his Pic Pockets - esp. the Ordinary to Extraordinary range: "Wedding photographers are often presented with less than desirable locations, confined spaces and challenging lighting situations. Jerry Ghionis is the master at turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.") and so was pleased to be able to see the master at work!

Here's one of my images inspired by some of his work: Spicer Hallfield hosted the seminar - click here for their article about the seminar, including a few images from the day.

It was lovely too to have a chance to catch up with some from the networking group as we've all had a busy couple of months. I'm really excited and looking forward to putting into practice some of the new techniques I've learnt from the seminar!

SWPP Convention

I attended my first SWPP Convention at the Novotel, Hammersmith from the 17-21 January 2008 and heard some amazing speakers. I'm so excited about all the knowledge imparted over the last few days and know 2008 is going to be an amazing year.

I attended Doug Gordon's master class on the Monday - here are a few shots of him in action showing us how to do flow-posing:

Seminar: Double Talk by Joe Buissink & Yervant

The MPA (Master Photographers Association) hosted Double Talk by two of my all time favourite photographers, Joe Buissink and Yervant at The Hilton, Croydon.

It was an amazing morning and Joe and Yervant was absolutely brilliant. I've *loved* Joe Buissink's work for ages now so was really excited to be able to hear him in person. They both showed us some inspiring slideshows of their photography, and as is very differant and how they approach wedding photography discussed how they work.

Joe shared with us some exclusive images from some of the weddings which he has shot (he's been a favorite wedding photographer among many celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey, Brendan Fraser, Kelsey Grammer, Hillary Swank & Chad Lowe, Christina Applegate, Jenny Garth & Peter Facinelli, Christina Aguilera and more..) as well as some from his latest project - still a 'fresh of the plane' shoot with Christina Aguilera and her production team on location from which they will produce exclusive GraphiStudio books for each of the team as a thank you and momento of their time with her. Some awesome work! Yervant showed us how he would post-produce them to a world class standard.

It was inspiring to see these two and how dedicated they are to teaching and sharing their experiences.
