Ohhh, what an incredible experience I had! In early September of this year, I was extremely lucky to attend The Portrait Masters Conference 2017 in Palm Springs, CA. Together with 400 other students and professional photographers from around the world, we spent three amazing days learning, practicing and absorbing valuable tips and in-depth knowledge from seven speakers, all world renowned photographers and top notch educators including Peter Hurley, Lindsay Adler, Susan Stripling, Kelly Brown, Michele Celentano and Joel Grimes. Each speaker covered his or her own genre from portraits and headshots, to newborns and family photography, and more. We listened to powerful presentations which were combined with live shooting demos. Beyond the presentations, we could practice in several indoor and outdoor shooting bays, which I loved, because I had to push myself out of my own comfort zone. The conference also included a trade show with great vendors. I loved seeing, touching and finally choosing the very products I'm planning to offer my clients. And along the way I made new photographer friends and was able to see and talk to my mentor, the incredible and inspiring Sue Bryce.
