Fantastic WPPI 2011

Speaking at WPPI 2011 has been a fantastic experience thanks to the amazing positive energy off everyone in attendance! Massive thanks to the great crowd at my platform talk ‘Secrets of Great Portrait Photography’ – you guys made this trip wonderful! My deepest thanks to everyone from Sony & Blue Pixel for a great trade show booth where I spoke on Location Portraits and did a live shooting demo of Burlesque dancer Miss Redd. Thanks to George Varanakis and Kate Volpe of WPPI for making this such a great show.

  2. It was wonderful to watch you at work at the Sony booth and then to see you again at the platform class. Great information and I’m truly grateful I had a chance to be part of the group. Thanks much!
