Doug Gordon — Posing is Back and It’s this Year’s Black
2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. / RM# 313-316
Come with Doug Gordon as he brings you on a complete journey toward taking your photography and business to the next level, in his straight-forward, straight from the heart, inspirational style.
You will be motivated, educated, challenged and entertained in a program that will completely transform the way you shoot. If you love speakers who are motivational and very funny, come to this class. Come because people learn best when they are laughing; because they need a motivational message; and because they need to have fun while they learn. Learn how to take immediate action and create momentum toward becoming the photographer you want to be. What better environment is there to learn than while on the fly working outside-the-box. See unconventional, unique, edgy, glamorous poses right before your eyes.
Develop a distinctive wedding style allowing you to direct a client yet capture the emotion and feel of photojournalism.
There’s a natural magic you need to learn to capture and shoot like two photographers, a main and second shooter. Learn from this legendary imagemaker.

Here's your chance to find out what's really working for you...or not. Kevin & Clare Kubota have built several successful brands through the years - including the household name brand of Kubota Actions.

You'll receive a complete list of things you can do to bring your name brand to the forefront of your client's mind. As a special part of the session, attendees are invited to submit copies of their current identity pieces and a selection of them will be chosen to be analyzed (in a positive way!) LIVE during the session by the Kubotas. A limited number of photographers will be selected, so get your registration and marketing materials in early! You could be one of the lucky ones to have a valuable, individual consultation! Suggestions for improvement and ideas to maximize your marketing materials will be offered during the session. Registrants who are interested in the analysis should submit copies of all marketing/branding materials 3 weeks prior to the session. Details will be given when you register. Note that you are not required to submit marketing materials to attend. For those who are not selected for the live consult, you will still gain valuable insight from the ideas and suggestions given to others which you can apply to your own marketing and branding materials.
