Hate Those Hijackers!
hijackDon’t you hate it when somebody jumps into a DWF discussion to nitpick or obsess about an unrelated topic? Grrrr.

When you ask a question, you deserve answers from fellow pros, so we’ve revised our DWF rules: Unwelcome thread hijacks will now be removed by the DWF moderators. If you see a thread hijack, just hit the “notify moderators” button. (You’ll find the button at the bottom of every single post on the DWF). We want YOU to post, and get the answers you need!

 

A Presidential Photo Shoot
keithHow many of us get the opportunity to shoot a session with a sitting president?

Longtime DWF Pro Keith Cephus was selected to do a session with President Obama alongside White House Photographer Peter Suoza. Click here to get
the story and see the images..

 

PDN Virtual Trade Show
pdnCouldn’t make it to a tradeshow in person this year? Check out PDN’s virtual event.

FREE Webinars are being presented by DWF members Doug Gordon, Catherine Hall and Jim Garner. Did I mention it’s FREE! Pretty hard to beat a few free webinars when the cost of admission is only your email address.

Be sure to swing by the virtual DWF booth while you're there.

 

The UP Inspired Engagement Session
upWARNING FOR THE LADIES: Jimmy (the Groom to be) is such a romantic that you might need a tissue. You have been warned. GUYS: This is guaranteed to warm at least one cockle in your heart too!

Also on the DWF Blog this week: Really? You need to copy?, Portraits on location, Tactical sites for your DSLR, Pricing on your website and the Definition of "Available" light

 

DWF - Kubota Photoshop Challenge
kubotaThis past week, 40 brave souls took the DWF-Kubota Photoshop Challenge. And you should see how each of them enhanced the exact same image!

Go to the PRO Art Forum. In the topmost thread you can vote for your favorite, get some inspiration, and instruction: Each entrant explains exactly what they did to the master image.

There’s a new Photoshop Challenge this week. Enter the challenge and you could win $50 in KubotaBucks!

A Day in the Life
ditlIt's time for another DWF "Day in the Life"!

The premise is simple, DWFers are encouraged to pick up their cameras on May 23rd and photograph their lives then share their photos with the rest of the DWF Community. The results are always amazing and we really hope to see you there!

Want to be inspired? Be sure to visit the link below for some examples of past Day in the Life shoots we've done.

 

Digital Negatives. No. Uh-Uh. No.
negativeDo you call your master files “digital negatives?” DWF Pro Steve Z says he’s sick of the term. That it’s inaccurate. That it fails to impress our clients with the effort that goes into color balancing, and basic adjustments.

Join this meandering conversation in which DWF Pros discuss the terms they use and sales techniques when discussing their raw and enhanced files.

 

What is DWF U?
dwfuIt's one of the best kept secrets in the DWF community that's what it is!

DWF U is packed full of educational videos from the likes of (excuse us while we name drop) Rosalind Bordo, Jeff & Julia Woods, David Beckstead, Jared Bauman, Tamara Lackey, Henry Wang and more.

This week on DWF U Rosalind & Siri from two bright lights discuss the ins and outs of the referral food chain.

 

Yervant in LA! Yervant in Chi!
yervantYervant is coming this summer! Plan on three days of intensive hands-on learning with Yervant and Anie including live model shoots.

You’ll learn how Yervant creates his signature images. Plus, real world marketing techniques, and much more.
