If you asked me what I love most about creative professions I would tell you its the consistent dedication to learning and skill upgrading. My job never goes stale, and can never be mastered – and that excites me. As every great photographer should, I’m allocating some of my time to network with other industry professionals and enrollling in new studio skills workshops throughout 2009. Read more »

Vancouver Strobist Group gets a Surprise Visit
December 3rd, 2008 | Posted in Blog, Photography, Uncategorized | No CommentsTags: commercial photographer, lighting ideas, lighting seminar, lighting techniques, location lighting, Strobist, video segments
Famed commercial photographer and book author Joe McNally dropped into the monthly Vancouver Strobist group meeting at Pacifica Photography Monday.
McNally – best known for his location-lighting techniques, killer body of work, and numerous training video segments was in Vancouver for a week-long “location lighting” seminar held at Vancouver Photoworkshops (If you’ve not had the chance to take a workshop from VPW, I strongly encourage it – great pros, reasonable rates!)
Two hours before his official class begun, Joe dropped by the meeting to showcase some lighting ideas with speedlights placed outside a window, simulating late sun. With the addition of a large reflector, Model Mayhem volunteer Cindy Fay was lit in a variety of unique ways – putting one more lighting trick in the back pocket of the 20 photographers in attendance.
Vancouver now gets bragging rights for the coolest rockstar “drop in” to a local, underground lighting event – easily topping Seattle’s recent meetup featuring David Hobby and Chase Jarvis.
How do we get these guys to visit Calgary or the Windy City?
