We just got back from Nashville where PPA (Professional Photographers of America) held there annual convention. Although we are totally exhauted, it was worth it. The speakers were tremendous. We came back alll fired up and full of excitment.
I suppose every photographer has their own perspective on how to photograph people. I would go so far as to say that there may not be a wrong way, just many different ways. We were able to meet and listen to Denis Reggie, a well known photojounalist in the Washington circle. We also meet and listened to Joe Buissink, a photographer who has photographed celebratees such as Jessica Simpson. Two completely different styles. Two masters of their different styles.
I think the most well attended seminar was the seminar on boudior photography by a couple of young women who are making quite a splash out in Beverly Hills, California. I was somewhat surprised to find that I too enjoyed their presentation.
Probably the most important information that was presented was the business side of photography. It really doesnt matter that you have talent, if you are not a good businessman. Photography is a business first, a passion second.
So now, we are back in Abingdon. It is time to get back to work, back to the business side of Reflective Moments Photography. Let's see where 2010 takes us.
