Vegas Recap (Tuesday’s events…)

Some people have told me the images have been slower to load on my blog the past few days so I went ahead and resized all of them so hopefully this will help. 🙂 Anyway, last Tuesday was an incredibly busy day…we went to Matthew Jordan Smith's seminar and he was great! He is the photographer for America's Next Top model and has photographed celebrities like Oprah, Tyra, Aretha, etc.

Then I went to Joe Buissink's class that afternoon and he was simply amazing…he shoots celebrity and high-end weddings on a regular basis (like Jessica Simpson's wedding) and he's the most humble photographer you'll ever meet, I loved it. In between classes, I took time to walk the tradeshow floor some more where our wedding photographer, Gary Fong (pictured above) was doing a live demo of his new Whaletail flash diffuser accessory. Gary is such an amazing photographer and businessman, he probably has one of the largest followings of anyone out there. 🙂 Needless to say, I bought the Whaletail at his debut and I'm most excited about the colored gels it comes with…I think it will take our modeling shoots to a whole new level.

Here are some fun shots from images that Joe showed everyone at his seminar, he photographed this dog in various costumes for fun and his images are now being turned into a huge product line, like greeting cards, calendars, etc. that will be released in the U.S. later this year!

Here's Denis Reggie introducing Joe at the beginning…Denis is the man who coined the phrase and concepts of "photojournalism" which took our industry to a whole new level. (No more stuffy 1980's poses!) 🙂
Some more fun dog shots below…
And here's Bobbi & her husband, Mike. I ran into them after the seminar…they are so cute together, they remind me a lot of me & John. 🙂 (Bobbi, I'll be good and leave out the funny face shots you took of yourself…) ;p
Here's Joe Buissink….
And on the way back to the room that evening, I ran into this couple who had just gotten married. She was trying to fix her dress but it wasn't cooperating so I immediately went into wedding mode and helped her with the dress and took a few fun shots of the two of them together and of the crowd in front of them. (Nothing like being in a hotel with thousands of wedding photographers around you! LOL)
Congrats!!
