Guild Meeting: Tuesday - March 16, 2010

Brian C. Idocks PortraitLet’s get real! As a professional photographer our day to day clients are not models. We don’t photograph perfect people in perfect light at perfect locations. We make the best images we can with what we have available to us.

Brian Idocks strives to make EVERY ONE of his images top quality, no matter what the situation. Watch and learn Brian’s photographic process in a live session with REAL people with less than perfect lighting. Let Brian teach you how to make it great, no matter what! You will learn valuable tips on posing lighting, composition, and how to work with real people.

Then… Let’s take those images to the next step. Work with Lightroom to edit and process and make them even better. Brian will finish off with some Photoshop retouching to make the final image Brianized! It is a jam-packed, fun-filled time that you will not want to miss!

The menu has a great selection of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and dinner choices. The prices are reasonable. We encourage more members to come early for dinner and network with other photographers. Being able to socialize and network with others is a great way to not only share tips, ideas and solutions, but also to become better acquainted, make friends, and work out possible future job sharing arrangements and opportunities.
