Event on 2012-06-08 09:00:00

Especially for you…

A special Headshot Day

Friday, June 8, 2012

Sponsored by:

Your Planning Partners

We’re really excited to extend this great opportunity for 8 people for your one-on-one, personal and fun photo session at Donna Santos Photography.

We recently worked with Donna Santos to do our head shots. We asked for professional head shots that would portray the personal flavour of each person on the Your Planning Partners team. We believe Donna did that and we had a great time on top of it!

As well as being a fabulous photographer, Donna is a small business owner and she loves working with entrepreneurs to capture their own special visual unique selling proposition.

This package is regularly 0. We are pleased to be able to extend this one day offer to the YPP Community for 7.

Here’s the nutshell of what you get:

For one day, Donna is opening her studio up to a mini group of eight of my favourite clients, colleagues and their friends.

That’s you.

She is offering this at a hefty discount. Normally, you would pay 0 for the photos alone but you are getting it for 7(including make-up and basic hair styling).

At the end of the day, you will walk away with some striking, high quality, professional photos that capture and project the image you want to communicate to your audience. We know you will be excited about your photos and happy to share them with people.

To get one of the eight spaces all you need to do is:

The Photographer’s Toolbox for Photoshop with Lewis Kemper
Event on 2012-11-12 09:30:00
Just as a carpenter decides which tools are necessary to build a house, a photographer needs to know which tools in Photoshop will accomplish the task.

Photographers have different needs than graphic artists or web designers. In this workshop we will approach Photoshop from a photographers perspective, not that of a designer or computer geek. Photoshop is one of the most complex and powerful image editing programs available today. Learning how to harness the power and the areas of Photoshop that are essential for the photographer is a challenge. You will go beyond the basics and into more depth.

You need to know the tools, where the menus are, how to create layers and adjustment layers. If you feel you are not comfortable knowing 15-25 % of what Photoshop™ has to offer, then this workshop will expand your knowledge into the remaining portions that are useful to photographers.

Starting with the raw file and working your way through all the refinements to your images we will cover Curves, Selective Color, using Adjustment Layers and masks to apply local changes. You will take that initial raw file and turn it into a masterpiece! And you will also learn how to resize and sharpen images to obtain the finest output.

Editing Your Photographs: How to Choose the Best Images From Among the Many with David H. Wells
Event on 2012-05-11 13:00:00

David H. Wells was recently named one of “The Best Photography Workshop Instructors” by Photo District News (PDN) Click here to see the article.

This workshop will teach you how to choose the best images to improve your projects and portfolio. Bonus: bring in a set of your images (60 and 100 prints) and David Wells will do an actual edit of your work!

As every photographer knows, the very best way to become a better photographer is to take a lot of pictures and edit those down to the best few. In that process, the photographer, ideally, develops an ongoing portfolio and figures out what their strengths areas a photographer. Besides focusing on their more successful photographs, the best photographers understand how to look at their failed images and figure out why those images did NOT work. Like in many pursuits, photographers learn as much or more from their mistakes as they do from their failures.

“The problem is that most photographers cannot edit their own work well. By edit, I mean selecting the best few images from among many which is not the same as making final prints from those select few — which it another class altogether,” explains Wells. “Sometimes photographers are too caught up in the content of the image and other times they are too focused on the emotional experience they underwent as they made the photographs.

“Outsiders looking at the same photographs do not care that the badly framed portrait shows a beloved child nor do they care how the photographer hiked for hours to make the image in question. Looking at the photographs as they are, without explanation, endorsement (or even captions in many cases,) is how almost all end-users of photographs experience them. To be able to edit your own photographs effectively you need to be able to similarly step back and look at the work as an outsider.”

In this workshop, master photographer and teacher, David H. Wells will show you how to edit images with a clear vision. Through a series of exercises, he will train you to look at photographs analytically. He will also take a set of images from each participant, consisting of between 60 and 100 prints (4 x 6 to 8x 10 inch prints only, no digital files) and edit them down to a top twenty. Students leave the class with an education in photo editing AND a professionally executed edit that will cut their large set of images down to a final, tightly edited and clearly defined top twenty.

Fee: if registered before the date of the event; on the day of the event.

Bring a set of images between 60 and 100 prints (see above for details)
