Show Notes and links…
Today we discuss bridal and trade shows, and ideas for setting up a great booth including marketing materials, photo presentation and the works. Even if you don’t shoot wedding you’ll get some good tips for doing shows.

DXO is getting bad press about using invasive DRM on Optics Pro 5. Gavin has launched his Lightroom Presets Power Workflow Collection.
The The HDRI Handbook is available available and is full of tips on shooting HDR photography

We also talked about getting inexpensive easels to display your work on, and Gavin like the Economy Folding Easel from Dick Blick Art Supply. It’s a touch over the ten bucks Gavin originally though, but still a great deal.

Dennis’s pick of the week was Professional marketing and selling techniques for wedding photographers.
Gavin’s pick was Collages press printed books for proofing and inexpensive albums.

Lastly here a few few photo’s of a few of my past bridal show setups.

  1. Thanks for the show Gavin and Dennis! I got a lot of good tips and ideas out of your discussion on wedding shows.

  2. Hey Dennis and Gavin! Great show guys! I very much enjoy the round tables and the special guests. I just had a quick idea. In regards to Gavin’s water idea, I think you can order custom labels on the water so it’s advertising and refreshing.

  3. I love how your company name is printed on the tablecloth. Where did you go to do this? Was it expensive?

    1. Not really expensive. I think it was about $125 for that custom table cloth. It’s a fabric with cutout lettering like they use on signs. Was done bu Buddy Builders here in Ephrata, though I’m sire most sigh, lettering places could do it… Gav

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
