dwfcGet this! We’re announcing that another one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World will appear at DWF Convention 2010 sponsored by Simply Canvas.

Yup, Gene Higa, will be presenting a full seminar on finding your niche, and absolutely owning it! Gene Higa is well-known throughout the industry for his destination wedding work, and he’ll show you how to find your own niche, and more important: How to make it yours and yours alone!

PLATINUM PARTY
partyOkay, so our DWF Director of Marketing Timothy John may be circulating rumors via Twitter about knife fights and dead hookers in swimming pools at the last Platinum Party. While our parties do rock, they're not quite that wild!

That said, the DWF Platinum Party is a pretty awesome get together with all of the country's finest photographers in attendance. This year is shaping up to be even better with a DJ, numerous industry icons, a fully stocked open bar and a fun Photobooth provided by Simply Canvas!

CORRECTION - The Peek A Boo Boudoir Shoot
lipsDWF Pro Kathy Honeybourne says she’s usually a lurker on the forums. It’s great that she decided to post about her “Peek-A-Boo” Boudoir shoots.

Kathy describes them as a “striptease. A little voyeuristic, a little naughty, and a whole lot sexy.” Learn about creating a very cool boudoir sequence shoot in the DWF Pro Boudoir Forum

The Power of Love Speech
loveYou can feel the tension in the DWF Pro Art Forum, as members vent about bigfoot videographers.

As the discussion moves to church coordinators who act like dictators, DWF Pro member Samo Rovan shows us an amazing move: The Power of Love speech. A simple question: Do you have the guts to deliver “The Power of Love speech?”

Infrared. Outasight!
davidHave you ever tried shooting some Infrared at a gig? A bunch of DWF Pros screw on an IR lens filter and capture images that are eye-popping different, and extremely cool!

Visit David Beckstead’s Infrared discussion in the DWF Pro Art Forum and you’ll see what happens when a very cool piece of gear is used by some extremely creative wedding photographers.

You Missed It!
bookIt’s awesome for everyone when DWF members come together like this. DWF member Lorraine Marie had a great idea for impressing potential clients with a beautiful and different price list. But she couldn’t get it done unless a dozen
members wanted in. Too bad you just missed this particular opportunity, but here you’ll see a great benefit of posting to share info—and a great idea for impressing your clients.
The Digital Wakeup Call Tour: Only $59
daveDWF Pros and photographers from all around the country agree, $59 is a SMALL price to pay for a few solid hours of intensive education--right in your hometown!

Celebrity Portrait Artist Mark Robert Halper
markMark Robert Halper is one of those hidden gems on the DWF Forums. A professional photographer for 20 years Mark's portfolio includes Ben Stein, Randy Jackson, Yeardly Smith, Gene Simmons, Tori Spelling and more big business than you can shack a stick at.

In our exclusive interview Halper shares with us this insight. There are so very many creative possibilities in photography, yet few people shoot work that is truly about what they find beautiful, interesting or compelling about their subject matter.
