Please forward the link to your friends, colleagues, etc. in an effort to show support for this young Mother who is battling for her life. (Her story hits very close to home for me b/c our sons are were born just about the same time and we’re close in age.) Here is the link.

Social hour
5:30-6:30 PM
Meeting at 7:00 PM
Brian is a Wedding Photographer based in Tampa Bay and has quickly become one of the most sought after Wedding Artists in his area. He was recently awarded “2007 Photographer of the Year” by the Tampa Area Professional Photographers Association and “2008 Top Ten Florida Photographers”. In 2007, he received his PPA certification.
Today’s Wedding Photographer needs to be much more than just a photographer. That’s obvious, but building a connection with the client is the critical factor for Brian. His style is modern, sexy and romantic, but unobtrusive and natural at the same time. Brian believes that without this mutual respect and connection, real, emotional photographs are more of a chance than a guarantee. When your customer trusts you, everything is simply a case of “capture those moments”.
If your work looks just like everyone else on the block, customers will choose based on price. Why be the same? Be unique, be different! Find your inner artist and create a demand for your product.
Brian will also give some insight to workflow and RAW processing using Lightroom and how to start with a solid photograph and make it into a piece of art in Photoshop that they can’t resist. Throughout the program, Brian will demonstrate simple techniques to make your work efficient, consistent and creative.
We had a great turnout for our first Digital Salon of the year. Congratulations to Tammy Johns who took Best in Show! Here is a list of the results from the evening.
PPNCF President’s Message (March-April 2009)
This year has really started out with a bang!
Not only are we seeing tons of fresh new faces and talent at the PPNCF but we are cooking up some fun new stuff for our membership.
“What’s cooking good looking?” you may ask.
This year we are hosting a great new PPNCF fundraiser and educational opportunity for our membership, right here in our own hometown of Gainesville. That is right, a full day hands-on workshop with Julie Hughes and the Radlinskis for the bargain price of only $75 for our members (and that includes a sweet catered lunch). Talk about bringing value to your membership. Programs like this can usually run $500 or more!
Hot guild programs by some of the state’s latest talent Brian Idocks, CapturedbyGalina and Fred Brinson just to name a few!
On the horizon we are talking about adding some truly unique Photo Safari’s for our members to participate in, with topics like Hollywood style lighting and how to photograph glass and stained glass. Not stuff you are just going to find at your local bookstore or big conventions! And if you are interested in sharing some tips on your area of expertise or have an idea you’d like to see on Safari, contact your board members.
Also a big congrats to all of our Informal Salon winners (wink-wink nudge-nudge Tammy Johns kicks butt). We had more than 50 entries! Be sure to check out the list of big winners on our website and in the newsletter. If you’d like to be prepared to enter this coming May’s formal salon be sure to talk with your salon chair, Sheli Derato, or any competing board member and they will be happy to help you review your images and presentation.
We all know the economy is touching all of our businesses right now, what better time than to get back in touch with your professional referral network?
See you at the meeting!
Warm Regards,
Krystal
