WPPI LAS VEGAS 2010

Hello everyone!
I came back from LAS VEGAS last night after a marathon on photography classes.
The Best Photographers in the World were there...
You can not imagine how life changing this event was. I got to see and experience lots of emotions looking through the work of great minds in the photography business.
For those of you that know me, I'm just starting on this very rewarding career. I went there with an open mind. Didn't know what to expect. I just wanted to learn and understand my cameras better.
Ok, it was incredible! This people are just amazing and everyone so different and unique. So many different styles, yet everyone special.
Had dreams with titles for future postings. Inspiration and Influences.
My favorite inpirational ones were: Jasmine Star! People were waiting outside for almost 2 hours hoping to get a seat. My favorite quote was: "Your website is your handshake, your blog is your voice". And also "Don't let fear stop you" DO IT!!!!

Learn about posing from Doug Gordon. Very fast paced and right on. He tough me I had to think ahead and stay on my feet. Definitely I will apply his techniques.


Jerri Ghionis was also great! He showed amazing album layouts and so creative. And on top of that a great and fun personality.

Marcus Bell was whitout a doubt one of the most inspiring ones. His point of view about capturing emotions and photojournalistic approach really touch me. I was actually crying looking at his work.

Other topics I paid attention to were Copywrights, Law for Photographers, Business, Relationship with Clients. Thank you Dawn McCarthy. You ROCK!!!
So, now I'm back in my hometown Jacksonville. I will be working on unedited material I have.
Special thanks to Ron B. Wilson for making this dream a reality for me and Wes Lester. You are a great mentor!
Thank you for visiting again!
