Bridge the gap between your natural, studio and speedlight photography. It’s all in understanding what makes a portrait great. Whether in studio, environmental or on location (yes, there is a difference), come learn to produce exemplary, unforgettable images. And it can all be done with the tools you have…or the ones you can beg, borrow or steal (better yet, just rent if you don't have them). Such unforgettable results produce a happier client and a fatter checkbook!

As a photographer, you love what you do and want to make your clients as happy as possible. But when time for your own life suffers, can you really fulfill the client’s needs to the best of your ability? Jody and Leslie Ann will show you how they keep clients coming back for more all while they keep banker's hours.
The duo will take you through the “life” of a client, starting with the session and ending with the sales session. You’ll learn everything that you have to do before they spend any more money. You’ll see how they handle sessions and use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (and other programs) in their workflow to minimize time spent on the computer. And stay tuned for Photoshop tips and tricks that take less than 5 minutes, yet make a huge impact on the client! At end the day, you’ll see how to maximize your sales…and lock up shop at 5:00pm.

Charles Parish, Cr.Photog., CPP
After over 47 years in this business, Charles has learned that most photographers fail because they simply don’t know how to deal with people…not because they are bad photographers. That’s why he wrote a book, “Beyond Photography,” and teaches this class! In the book, he covers 100 things you need to know to be successful in the photography business, and most of them aren’t related to imaging and technical applications.
