Inspirational Quotes: Get Inspired!

February 11, 2011 in Mexico City, Mexico Photo Workshop, San Miguel de Allende

This post wraps up my week-long posts on inspirational quotes and photographs. I hope you were and are inspired.

These are screen grabs from the slide presentation I run before my seminars, which are packed with photo info.

Speaking of seminars, I am giving a seminar and running a workshop in Mexico in June.

We'll be shooting in picturesque San Miguel de Allende (above)

And I'll be speaking at the World Trade Center in Mexico City. The two pictures above are cut-and-past, just-for-fun images: the actual presentation room with a picture of me speaking inserted on stage and on the monitor.

The Camera Looks Both Ways . . .

February 10, 2011

Here's my most important people photography tip: The camera looks both ways, in picturing the subject, you are also picturing a part of yourself.

In other words, you are a mirror.

Think about that the next time you photograph a person, and remember that the mood, feeling, energy and emotion that you project will be reflected in your subject.
