Luminance Photography Workshops 2012

Luminance Photography Workshops 2012 – Root Drive-In Studios 09.11.12

It’s my great pleasure to help kick things off for PhotoShelter’s Luminance Conference 2012 by teaching a hands-on photography workshops on ‘Secrets of Great Portrait Photography’ alongside photography workshops by stellar photographers Joe McNally, Robert Seale, Zack Arias and Bill Cramer.

Root Drive-In Studios / 443 West 18th Street / New York, NY 10011 / Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Leave it to my pals at PhotoShelter to put together a really cool event. While most photo conferences focus on gear, Luminance Conferenece focuses on more significant trends happening around the photo industry as ever-present camera phones capture more photos than traditional cameras and social media networks have become the largest and fastest growing archives of photography. The impact of photography has never been more significant in the ways we communicate.

Thanks to Michael Treola who shot these swell photos of Luminance for PhotoShelter!
