Fashion Photography EXPOSED – The DVD!

We’ve kept it under wraps for over a year. But now the secret is finally out! If you haven’t heard by now, we are releasing the first full blown educational fashion photography DVD ever made!  We have pulled out all the stops to leave no stone unturned, no question unanswered. And I am honestly very pleased with the results!! Initially we wanted to base the format of the DVD loosely around what I teach at my workshops: a chance for photographers to work on a real fashion shoot with top models and professional hair stylists, make up artists and fashion stylists. And that’s great for a seminar when you’re in the room with me so I can show you what a difference it makes when you work with a pro team. But then we took a look at the bigger picture and realized that the real challenges that most young or up and coming fashion photographers face is inside knowledge on how to break into the industry. On Fashion Photography Exposed,  I show you how to produce better fashion shoots with better lighting and then I show you the importance of  promoting yourself and your business so you can compete in a very competitive and unpredictable industry. There is so much that the DVD offers but I’m not going to go into all of the specifics here in this post. You can find out all the information about it on the Fashion Photography Exposed DVD website.

If you’re one of my Facebook friends then you must know by now that David and I are moving to New York City. We’re somewhat sad to be leaving LA because it is home to us. We were both born and raised here in LA. But we really want to be in New York now so we’re very excited for the new change. Since we’re going to be based in NY, we know that we’ll have to do the workshops there now.

Check out the recap from our April 2010 seminar video below

Now Your Votes will Determine the GRAND PRIZE Winner!

Honestly, there were so many great entries that it was difficult to choose the Top Three! So David and I came up with an idea and we ran it past the people at Etre Touchy Gloves. We asked them to send us 7 more pairs to give away so we can have a total of 10 Winners! Being the awesome group of people they are, they happily obliged! Now each of the 10 initial winners will receive a pair of Etre Touchy Gloves sent to them by me!

But wait, there’s more! We haven’t stopped there. Now we’ve decided to up the game and give away a free ticket to either my LA Seminar or to David’s  2 Day Retouching Workshop to the top winner from the 10 finalists! The winner can choose the dates which work best for him or her on either workshop! You can also choose to give the Ticket to a friend! And instead of me voting for the grand prize winner, I am going to let you guys vote on the winner! So go ahead and visit the forum HERE to CAST YOUR VOTE!!!

Submit Your Best Shot and Win a Pair of Etre Gloves!

I just got back from Dubai. I was there for two weeks, teaching some workshops the first week and then shooting 3 editorials back to back before jumping back on a plane for the 16 1/2 hour flight back home to LA. My trip to Dubai was kind of surreal. There’s lots to share about it and I definitely will very soon. Aside from the 3 editorials I shot in Dubai, two being for Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, I shot a third editorial for a magazine back here in the States in the Spice Souk plus I shot for MIRRIN and Genlux Magazine two weeks prior to going. So I have 5 editorials I shot in the last month to share with you very soon! And I seriously can’t wait to share the stories and the photos from all five shoots! Each shoot was memorable in its own unique way. And for some very good news: I shot BTS videos on all five shoots! Even the three shoots in Dubai, with one of them being shot by a pro filmmaker who lives and works in Dubai, Harvey Glen from Alchemy Films. And on that particular shoot, some of his colleagues including Andrew Clemson (provided images below) from Alchemy Films Dubai came down to my set with a RED camera and I shot with the RED, which was an amazing experience (after seeing the still images pulled from the shoot, I’m sold!). And we have it all captured to show you! As much as I hate being in front of the camera (you know I never get use to it) I wanted to share the shoots with all of you. You see, I really DO think about you guys! Oh and the locations I got to shoot at for Harper’s Bazaar in Dubai were just incredible! Well, all three locations were incredible! Out of the 5 new editorials I shot, only 1 was shot in the studio. So you’ll get to see me shooting on location again! (Less swearing and drama this time around….YAY!!) ((Haha…this made me laugh out loud))

The Year of the Tiger!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays! I was able to relax for a little bit, catch up on some reading that I sorely miss doing and reassess where I am and where I’m heading in my career.

So…what does this next year look like for me? For one, a lot of travel! I’ve been asked to teach workshops at Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai! I leave at the end of February and will be in Dubai the first week of March. I will be there with the big heavy hittin’ honchos: Zack Arias, David Hobby, etc etc. But  I am especially excited to meet  Joey L. That kid really blows my mind as far as how young he is, how inspired he is and how bomb his work is. After Dubai, I am showing some photographs at the SNAP! Exhibition in Orlando, Florida from May 20th to the 23rd.  And NYC in between all the rest! That’s the first six months of the year. I can only imagine that the next six months will be just as busy. But what will I be doing when I’m in LA besides shooting? Doing more SEMINARS!!
