PHOTO WORKSHOPS MIAMI: Maximize Your Portfolio Review Experience

Mark Your Calendars Saturday, April 25!

Maximize Your Portfolio Review Experience At Chasing The Light 2015  Presented by Photo Workshops Miami  Hosted at the Coral Gables Museum Portfolio Review Session:  Perhaps the most valuable learning experience for an emerging photographer, portfolio reviews allow you to present your work to an established professional, engage in a conversation about your work, ask questions, find out what’s working and what’s not, and gain invaluable feedback that will set you on the right course. Having a truly productive portfolio review is about more than just showing up, plan to actively participate in the process, ask questions, don’t let the reviewers do all the work. Be open to constructive criticism and be ready to listen, give no excuses. We are delighted to see our portfolio review sessions filling up. It's no wonder with our outstanding and international award winning reviewers. What to Bring:  Be ready to take notes. Your portfolio can be presented on an iPad, laptop or a beautifully printed portfolio. Display your best work but be ready to show unedited files if the reviewer requests it. Portfolio Reviews from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m Included is a one-on-one, 20-minute portfolio review session with the photography instructor of your choice (more than one session can be purchased).

"The Power of the Personal Project" with LaRae Lobdell

Mark Your Calendars Saturday, April 25!

"The Power of the Personal Project"  Chasing the Light 2015 with LaRae Lobdell Presented by Photo Workshops Miami  Hosted at the Coral Gables Museum Have you ever asked the question: "Where do I start?",  "What next?", or "Why am I still a photographer?" At some point or another, we can get caught up in the "industry" of photography and lose ourselves and our (he)art in the demands and expectations of clients, colleagues, and social media. Taking on a personal project is one way of re-centering ourselves and remembering why we became a photographer in the first place. It's a time of introspective work, a time to rejuvenate, a time to refine our techniques and sharpen our eyes and hearts as a photographer, and a time to re-define our purpose. In The Power of the Personal Project, LaRae Lobdell will share how after photographing weddings for over a decade, she re-discovered herself as a photographer and her true purpose in life through a personal project. You will hear how her photography technical skills grew from photographing friends in their homes to directing celebrities and a 20-person crew on location, how she went from small art shows in coffee shops to large-scale solo exhibits in historical buildings, and the steps she took to overcome her extreme introverted shy nature so that she could speak on camera and in public. Most importantly, she will talk about the emotions and power of sharing your gift through a personal project. One small idea, one small personal project can have an immense positive impact for ourselves, friends, family, neighbors, city, community and even the world. Whether you have been photographing for thirty years or just picked up your first camera, you will be inspired by this seminar.
