Live from PPOC Nationals, Mont Tremblant!

May 11, 2010

Hello from cold and (kind of ) snowy Quebec!

I’ve had a great time here with my Canadian friends, and met some awesome new ones! Hung out last night with David Beckstead (hands down winner for best business card ever!) who is a true rockstar photographer.

My presentation yesterday was fun, although being translated was weird! At least the translator was a good friend of mine, Julie, and her daughter, Joelle, was one of my models – so much fun was had!

Video coming later today, here is the first image I’ve processed from the live shoot of Joelle. My other model, Melissa, was equally awesome and I’ll work some images of them both next week.

This is my last day in Canada before heading home – traveling slows down now for wedding season…phew!

Live, from Chicago!

April 21, 2010

Today is the last day of the NoBS Inferno convention where I’ve been since Saturday. I’m a moderator of the NoBS forum, and these conventions are just awesome. I get to hang out with my many friends I’ve made over the years – and these people have become best friends and family to me – and I also get to hear many amazing speakers. This year was no exception and I’m coming home with my head filled with ideas for the studio for the next year. Also, I was asked by Rob and James – the owners of NoBS – to put on a 3 hour seminar about my pin-up photography and I was thrilled to accept. I had a blast talking about what I love, and then we had a live model shoot which was awesome! Speaking to a group of photographers like this is truly something I love, next stop is Canada in May for a big conference, the PPOC Nationals, I’ll be speaking to around 250 photographers!

Here’s a quick video of me in action, along with the video of us getting ready for the group photo in the pool!
