  Storytelling Portrait Photography:
  Documenting the Lives of Children and Families
  with Paula Swift, M.Photog.Cr., CPP
  (www.paulaswift.com)

  Program sponsored by White House Custom Color

  Paula Ferazzi Swift spent 10 years chasing fires and covering news assignments all over Central Massachusetts as a photojournalist at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. When Paula decided to leave photojournalism in 2005, she began focusing on children and families utilizing her photojournalistic skills to photograph the relationship children shared in front of her camera in a natural way.

  Paula will share images and the story behind how she captured them, both technically and emotionally. Paula will explain how to capture those unexpected moments, how to get shy children to warm up to you, how to keep children involved in their photography session, use of props to keep the session looking natural, how to incorporate pets, how to capture children on the go, and how to let children be themselves during a session.

  Paula has won numerous awards for her portrait work including two Kodak Gallery awards, a Hallmark Award, the Photographic Degree of Excellence by PPAM, Loan and General Collection images at PPA’s International Photographic Competition, and 2014 Photographer of the Year bronze medalist. Paula received her Master of Photography degree in February 2015 and her Photographic Craftsman degree in January 2017.

  In May 2017, Paula’s book Storytelling Portrait Photography: How to Document the Lives of Children and Families was published. The book offers ideas for creating a strong and lasting client connection, eliciting memorable moments, finding storytelling locations, inspiring natural action and reactions, and capturing the inter-relationships between siblings and between children and their parents. The book is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Hunt’s Photo and Video stores. Paula will also have books on hand for purchase and to personally sign.

  Body Beautiful
  with Lindsay Adler
  (www.lindsayadlerphotography.com)

  Fashion photographer Lindsay Adler has risen to the top of her industry as both a photographer and educator. Based in New York City, her fashion editorials have appeared in numerous publications including Marie Claire, In Style, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and more. As a photographic educator and having been named one of the top 10 best fashion photographers in the world, she is one of the most sought-after speakers internationally.

  In this jampacked seminar, Lindsay will talk about and demonstrate the tools and techniques to allow the beauty of the human form to shine through your photographic artwork. When photographing the everyday person instead of models, you are often asked to photograph and flatter more challenging features – round face, pronounced nose, large forehead, double chin, assymmetrical features, bald head, glasses, defined wrinkles, full figured and curvier clients, and more. It is imperative when you photograph them you are able to do so with confidence. In this workshop Lindsay will share her secrets of how posing, lighting, camera angle, lens choice, clothing choice, and Photoshop all work together for successful imagery.

  Whether your photography focus is wedding, portrait, or intimate boudoir, understanding how to flatter the body is essential. Lindsay will lay down a solid foundation of posing and styling so that you can make your clients feel comfortable in front of the camera.

  Thank you to our sponsors: Hunt's, Miller's Professional Imaging, Tether Tools, and Spider Holster.

  Sports League Photography:
  Adding to Your Bottom Line
  with Melvin Guante, CPP
  (www.melvinsphoto.com)

  Remember when photography was fun? Remember how you had your creative juices flowing and you set out to create masterpieces? Would you like to recreate that experience only this time get paid for it? If so, consider adding sports league photography to your product offerings.

  The days of dull cookie-cutter photography of sports teams are gone! You can now offer exciting contemporary photography that captures the character of each team member while still maintaining an efficient workflow. Melvin will show you how his techniques when applied to volume photography, specifically sports leagues, will enable you to efficiently produce creative sports photographs that sell. This program will cover getting started – how to find prospective leagues and land the job – as well as workflow – including the actual photography and pre- and post- production. At the conclusion of this program, you’ll have the tools you’ll need to land your first league job and to photograph it with confidence. And what’s more, you’ll make money doing it!

  Since an early age, Melvin was fascinated by the arts. From the moment he saw his uncle playing with his enormously huge and shiny new camera with all the bells and whistles, he knew that he wanted to be a photographer. While in high school, his art teacher inspired his creativity and did not allow him to settle for the ordinary and encouraged him to get out of his comfort zone, so he could be more innovative. He went on to drawing, painting and making clay sculptures that were exhibited in a year-end art displays. His teacher taught him patience and perseverance. In college Melvin was exposed to African art which led him to explore and immerse himself in everything it had to offer. This had a profound lifelong influence on his work.

  Melvin is a passionate photographic artist, with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. He is currently an active member on the Board of The Professional Photographers of Massachusetts (PPAM), holds a Certified Professional Photographer degree through PPA, and has the honor of servicing as the liaison for the CPP program for Massachusetts.
