VII photo agency seminar in London, 14.04.2007.
I won a www.myspace.com/viiphoto and my porfolio was reviewed for free by Joachim Ladefoged on Sunday, the day after the seminar. after seeing my photos he said: you should work as a photographer. BANG!
....And you thought conferences are only for the progressively evolved species ?

The great and the good around 40079 shortly before it uncoupled and ran round its stock. Seminars next to locos were common at the time but not many were this large.

I like to take classes to keep up on what's going on in the photoworld. When I told people I was going to a boudoir seminar I got lots of different reactions. I have a number of women who are pregnant, young and old that like having their picture taken to their "advantage," so I figured why not? It was free, was only a couple of hours of my time, close to my home, and I figured a good way to network with other women photographers (more about that)...I threw in my camera when I saw that there would be a model.
The lighting was interesting...Everything from strobes (my favorite and what I use) to an industrial hot light from Home Depot (for $25) There are always ways to work around light issues that don't break the bank.
Inexpensive red velvet curtains made an ideal back drop.
I jumped at the chance when it was offered to come up to the stage and take a few shots of the model...The crazy thing is that in a crowd of a 100 or so, that there were only a few women. I seemed to be the only woman with a camera. There was a crowd on the stage and not too many opportunities to get a good shot without the back of some mans head. Finally I heard someone say...
"Hey, why not let the little lady up front for a few shots"
I can be fast when I need to...I honestly think the model was relieved when I posed her.
I wanted to give this a very Hollywood fifties look with the black and white.
There was a reward: It turned out to be my lucky night...Not only did I get a spiffy SmugMug baseball cap but I won a $75 gift card at a lab (Wahoo)...But no chance to network with the women...sigh,maybe next time.
(For those interested, this was taken with the big orange industrial light from Home Depot that they set up. It seemed too harsh to me, so I had to adjust the color and contrast.)

Left to right - Me, PK (Pickled Kidney), Patric Roft and the late Alan Pennington. We had a long weekend in Jersey, ostensibly to try out the HS146s that were flying there at the time, the return flight went 'tech' and was replaced ny a 1-11. Hurrah!
Actually turned out to be more of a lost weekend as I don't recall much of it! Then, that's why we take pictures, eh?
