I love workshops and conferences. I think there is a really buzzing spirit of hunger and passion when I go to one, and I always leave so deeply encouraged for my craft and the people I have met.
Next year, 2010, marks the start of a number of speaking engagements I'll be involved in, with the first being kicked off at the most awesome Charge Up Conference!
If you are a media user (video, photography, sound, etc), or a lover of media and want to grow in your knowledge and skillset for it, then you should totally pay attention! The Charge Up conference is a 4-day long event, filled to the brim with workshop talks on an enormous kaleidescope of topics to help nurture and challenge your understanding of your skill, as well as a 2-day practical involving hands-on work to tackle the challenge given, and applying what has been taught!
I'll be giving two talks:
(1) Understanding exposure - how to get the right exposure in differing circumstances, to create a different array of photos.
(2) How to engage and interact with your subject, as a photographer - I get this question ALOT. Ie. how do I work with my clients to produce the kind of images that are up on this blog? At Charge Up, during this session I'll be explaining techniques and tips on how to work with your clients to get the best images possible!
Other speakers include Louis Pang, and Grace from Wedding Story, amongst many others touching on subjects such as composition, using available light, posing, workflow, and so on! It's going to be an AMAZING 4-days so do register if you are interested! The details can be found here:

I really look forward to seeing some of you there! it would be sad if I were talking to the 3 walls facing me! Please save me the embarrassment! :D
Have a lovely weekend ahead everyone! I'm off to tackle and amazing week of the most delightful shoots - HUGE visual surprises coming when I get back in front of the computer!

and oh my~ i feel so blessed to be able to attend the next year conference with great speakers like you all~
see you Jenny!
Hey Jenny, As you hopefully know I am traveling to San fran to hang with you while you are there. The too topics you spoke on at this conference is exactly what I want to talk with you about AND behind the pics in the lab. I won't be at the concerence but is there any written material you can point me too. I'd be happy with your notes. Oregon's light can be so harsh. or just dull and flat. Morning and evenings can have nice light in the summer but shoots do not always follow the schedule of the light. I struggle with either hot spots or just low contrast because of low or flat light. Sorry I am long winded.
