Yervant Seminars for Brisbane

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love and respect Anie and Yervant. They both have changed my career path and outlook on my business for ever. I get alot of inspiration and knowledge from them both, as well as my other favorite Jerry Ghionis. Just wanted to mention a few workshops coming up.

Brisbane ( Gold coast Australia) July 5-6-7 2010

Brisbane ( Valley ) One day seminar with David Beckstead and Yervant 21st July 2010

Yervant is eminent amongst the most influential photographers of the last 30 years. He has broken every rule in traditional photography, in particular wedding photography to welcome and encourage fresh concepts and excitement in a predominantly boring and dull practice.

Sensual, fashionista and fine art all concocted in a crazy pot of tradition and the far future… make Yervant one of the most profound artists of today.

These are brand new 3 days’ programmes which we put together to get straight to the core! Show Yervant’s camera techniques, his light, his compositions, his ’Posed…but naturally!’ methods and also how he shoots for ALBUM pages at any given time of the day. Then definitely finishing, this is a must for any professional, that is what sets us apart from the “Shoot & Burn” and amateurs! Professional finishing!!

I know there must be a whole bunch of news and events we've missed out on, so please fill us in! We're passionate about making the South East Queensland Photography Industry the greatest in the world? Well put your hand up and give me a hand... As always Feedback wanted!
