The space is exactly what we were hoping for. more than Triple the space we had in austin and all in the same venue.

The hotel is extreamly acomadating and the staff is excellent.

Sunday 4-6 is the registration meet and great at the Hotel, Then After Dark would like to take you down to South Beach and Ocean Dr to get a taste of World famous South Beach!

Monday after noon will be South beach location expierences with multiple mentors working natural light in many different ways...including fill flash.
Monday night after dark at the Hyatt begings with the 10 studio pods and 10 work stations going full out untill 2 am......then again tuesday.....And weds. will be all about what you want to do. It is an open day to apply what you have learned and get any final questions answered....


We are wired beyond for this one.....

Austin we wanted to have the a sense of the area so we had local musicians as models for the expierence....Miami is about fashion....so prepare for the models.....We will be emphasising light and composition for the capturing and the work pods will be focused on Sales, marketing , intense photoshop tract, painter and where ever else you want to take it....

We are also proud to say we give back to each comunity we paly in. Monday afternoon in Austin, mentors and attendees created images for the women particiants of Dress for success and Millers Lab stepped in and donated $2500 to the cause.


We were also fortunate to have Ralph and Cyndi Romaguera present a short program on Operation smile. After Dark donated all of the proceeds of the t shirt sales and Millers once again stepped in and donate $2500! After Dark helped raise over $4000 for operation smile.

After Dark is about the complete expierence..

Entirely WAY too much footage (is that term appropriate anymore) of Dinger in the first video. You made it look like he actually DID something there. It must have been staged for the camera.

Just kiddin. He's a hard working trooper.

[Dave_Junion]

Fuz, you are right...it is part of his support program when he is trying to get off the meds.....we try to be supportive.....

Dave,

Do you stop for fuel (meals) or rest (some sleep)? Some of us might be more aged than you!

Not at all similar to any 4-5 day workshop?

Is depositing at Imaging January too late for an early discount? Having NOT looked at the website about registration, lazy me!!!

Maybe I should combine a vacation at my sister & husband's place west and between Sarasota/Ft Myers, then over to Miami! However, I'm trying to do that in January & to Nashville!

George, the Early bird discount expires Dec. 15th.

Having experienced the 1st After Dark in Austin I can honestly say it was Amazing and an Amazing experience!

This one will be even more so as it is 3 days instead of 2! I can't wait to be a part of Miami.
