First time visiting Las Vegas. A city full of lights and always having a vibe of easy life. Why we end up there? Not to see more lights or to have easier life this is the first time we went to WPPI :) It’s a conference for a wedding and portrait photographers for learning new/old stuff. It’s a wonderful place to get to see your favourite photographers and of course to attend EXPO show where lot’s of worldwide known brands present their newest things :)
From this learning week I really started to admire Lindsay Adler, Susan Stripling and Justin and Mary Marantz. They are wonderful photographers and the way they teach and talk about photography is really that inspired me again to do more than just click a button.
I bought a posing book written by Lindsay Adler and it’s absolutely great. All the information you would need to improve your posing and feel more confident while directing your subject :)
Susan Stripling impressed me by the way she works in her studio, by using fake walls to make a little room and this is how she controls the light. Seems so easy and effortless :)
Justin and Mary Marantz are photographers who respect photography in knowing that it will stay with us more than a day. They create to maintain a family history and this is important. Especially now when everyone can take photos so easily.
First evening we end up visiting the old strip. It’s like a boulevard for pedestrians full of casinos and people who shows lots of tricks to get your attention.
Overall we didn’t have much time to go out and enjoy the city, but Vegas is all about casinos. You can spend the whole day just staying inside or travelling through underground passes and get into different casinos. It feels like there is no end just for doing this :)
Enjoy :)
