Message from our President Patty Hallman,

You definitely don't want to miss this one. Adrian Henson was one of our print competition judges during this year's PPSC Convention, and the man really knows his stuff! Here's a little more info about Adrain: Adrian is heavily involved with his state organization (Professional Photographers of North Carolina) as well as being a PPA Councilor. He regularly travels throughout the country teaching and speaking and is an International Photographic Competition Juror in Training. He is very committed to photographic competition and has been honored with the Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Bronze awards as well as North Carolina's Photographer of the Year award and SEPPA's Best in Show, just to name a few. Adrian considers competition the greatest informal education around and owes the bulk of his photography success to it.

Adrian is also devoted to making photography better. He encourages sharing and openness among professionals and believes that "the rising tide lifts all ships." He believes that through education, we can return confidence back to the photography profession.

Adrian has earned his PPA Master of Photography, Master of Electronic Imaging and Photographic Craftsman degrees, and he is a Certified Professional Photographer.

PPSC MIDLANDS MEETING...

Understanding the correlation between f-stops, flash power, and light-source to subject distance to achieve unique looks.

Photo by David JunkerHe'll go over his formulas for mixing ambient light with flash and for creating different background looks just by changing lighting ratios. He also mixes different lighting instruments and uses reflected light to create unique effects. David says of his presentation, "There's a lot of variety that can come from a white cyc wall. I learned some of these concepts from Zack Arias and added my own twist to some of it. This isn't necessarily the single correct way to accomplish a particular lighting style, but it's the way I do it. I've made use of the equipment available to me (some expensive and some cheap and some even homemade) and have come up with some ways of lighting my subjects that have been successful for me."

PPA logoThis and all other PPSC meetings are FREE for ALL PPSC MEMBERS. Meetings are also FREE for all first-time attendees of a PPSC meeting. Anyone who has already attended a PPSC meeting may either make a $10 contribution to the PPSC or OR bring a friend (another non-member) and both people may attend for free. The Professional Photographers of South Carolina (PPSC) is the ONLY PPA (Professional Photographers of America) affiliate organization in the state and is committed to the success of all photographers in our area.

The 2012 PPSC Convention is fast approaching!

PPSC 2012 Convention LogoMark your calendars for February 3-7, 2012 and join tons of other photographers from South Carolina (and a few from other states) for five days of fun and learning about the business and techniques of running a professional photography business. We'll gather at the Embassy Suites in Columbia, SC to explore new industry trends and discover ways to stand out in the ever-expanding field of photography. Become a "Rock Star" photographer by improving your skills and attracting more clients. If you aren't a member of PPSC, you should join now and take advantage of this amazing opportunity. Speaking of rock stars, there are several star speakers lined up to present workshops at the convention. You'll also get to peruse (and possibly salivate over) cool new gear and products and take advantage of specials offered by the vendors at the trade show. You won't want to skip out early either because we'll be wrapping up the weekend with an awards banquet, and YOU just might be one of the award recipients, but you'll have to enter the print competition! Stay tuned to PPSC for more info and hotel discount information.
I look forward to seeing many of you there!

Upstate Meeting Monday September 26th, 2011 6:30pm

The next Upstate meeting has been lined up!

It will be hosted by David Junker, Monday, September 26 at 6:30 pm at Muse 10 Photography Studio in the FishEye building near downtown Greenville:

802 Augusta Street
Greenville, SC 20605

(overflow parking next door at "The Front Porch" and the empty lot beyond it)

The meeting will be a "Show and Tell" of images and will allow those who participate to show off images they are proud of and get some friendly suggestions and encouragement. 

You don't have to claim the images if you don't want, but it's OK if you do and want to speak about it or tell the story behind it. There will be a panel of "judges" available to moderate and give unbiased feedback regarding photographic issues.  THIS IS NOT A PRINT COMPETITION!!! It's simply a great way to share your work, and be inspired by work that your fellow photographers are doing.

We MUST encourage one another and help each other grow both creatively and technically in order to strengthen the professional photography industry, and this is one great way to do that!

We plan on getting started at 6:30pm.
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TAILGATE TYPE CHAIR OR FOLDING CHAIR.
We won't have enough chairs available at the studio for everyone, so grab a couple if you have them so that those who don't may use one.

You may also bring snacks to share if you would like.  Drinks will be provided.

Everyone is encouraged to submit up to 5 images in JPEG high quality (10)format, sRGB, 2000 pixels on the long dimension.  They do not have to be prepared with borders and digital matting like print competition, although you may submit them that way if you prefer. DO NOT PUT YOUR LOGO OR NAME ON THEM!  If you feel compelled to bring printed pieces of art for whatever reason, you must also bring them in digital format so that everyone can see them projected.

Images may be emailed to David Junker, david@muse10photography.com
or you may bring them on a USB drive when you come to the meeting.

I look forward to seeing everyone again (and their fantastic images!)

Sincerely,
David Junker

Costal Meeting Monday September 19th, 2011

What would you do in a situation when the client is in "bad" lighting and this is the only time you can photograph them?  Normally we like to control the lighting in whatever situation we find ourselves, but what if we are forced to shoot in bad light?  You can’t always exert total control over every situation you find yourself in.  

If you cannot handle the above situation, you must attend the next Coastal meet on September 19 at 4pm in Georgetown presented by Jeanne Richardson.  She will demonstrate lighting the subjects in bright afternoon sun, complimenting the subject and recording image files great enough for wall portraits. 

We will meet at 4pm at Jeanne’s studio in Georgetown and immediately leave for a predetermined location where we will encounter bad light and learn how to deal with it.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from one of the most talented and resourceful pros in South Carolina.  Mark your calendars for September 19 and meet us there.  We all need to learn this important skill.
