Tell a Story with Workflow and Lightroom

Powers Photography

     Stewart will explain what he does with several 1000 wedding photos from three or four cameras to create a organized story in perfect chronological and numerical order for the client. Stewart explained “I am sure every wedding photographer has their own process and workflow established – and I bet it works well for them. This will program will specify why I go this route.  If after 30 minutes if you are not entertained and/or dazzled we will all go to the bar and have a beverage.”

PPNCF Presidents Message February 2012

Tammy Johns PPNCF President Courtsey Tammy Portrait Artist

 

Its February already, what happened to January? I guess that means we were all busy in January. Well, January did start off with a bang, and ended even better. Our January Program was awesome. It was wonderful to have two Master Photographers from our own Guild show two different twist on Head Shots. We came, we saw, we participated, we learned, had a birthday celebration, had lots of laughs, had a new member join for the first time. We welcome Jamie Swanson into our family of photography at PPNCF.

I think one of the addictions of photography is you never, never, never stop learning new Techniques & Styles. If you become stagnant with your work, it is your own fault; knowledge is everything in today’s world of Professionalism. That’s another big reason to be a member of a Professional Organization like PPNCF, FPP and PPA. The benefits are endless. Our February Program is going to be another awesome learning experience. I want to personally request your presence at the next meeting. We can’t wait to have you join us. 

Tammy Johns

President, PPNCF
