ANNOUNCING NEW SPEAKERS!!






Let's Hear it for the Boys! 

    
 


Wayne Radford and Rob Heyman

Wayne Radford and Rob Heyman have worked in the portrait and wedding industry for 60 years. IF you add both  together. No they are not in their 80s.

They met in their careers and their dedication and attention to detail matched each others. They are friends who dare each other to do better, resulting in two successful businesses of 25 - 30 yrs, changing with the times and technology as if it was a new toy to explore.

Queensland pioneers of wedding photojournalism they have a wealth of knowledge to impart, knowledge that will stay with you forever. They are inspiration for generations of photographers to come.


WAYNE RADFORD
EXPOSE THE EMOTION



Wayne's photography from his early years is as relevant, compelling and timeless as his current work. Shooting 90% of his work in black and white, many of Wayne's portraits can be hung in anyones house as wall decor. You don't have to know the subject.



Wayne's exposure is always exactly correct, lighting is exemplary and he is the consummate professional. Wayne's imagery is stunning in its detail, his observations of human nature can be found in his images. He uses light to expose the emotion underneath, often undetected by the human eye. 


Wayne will be teaching the way you can look for the emotion and use light to bring it out in your work. His techniques will help you have clients returning to you regularly  for family portraits while launching you into your own  natural style of photography.

ROB HEYMAN 
AN HOUR BEFORE SUNSET


Rob will be talking about family portraiture this year. How to build up a family portrait and then relax it into our own Aussie style. How does he make families look so relaxed, as though he has just caught them out on a family walk or picnic.


Rob's techniques bring a total freshness in his ability to capture characters. He will teach how to achieve the flow between the light, the landscape and the family to create portraiture as human landscapes, breaking it down into bites of information you can easily repeat on your family sessions. 


Photographers who attend Rob's workshops say they look for the 'Heyman Light' when shooting outdoors. Heyman light is his 'not so secret'  strategy for success. Rob now photographs the grandchildren of his wedding and portrait clients from 30 years ago. Rob will also be covering some business points and professionalism.

Australia's top photographic educators all in the same place at the same time!!!

FOUR DAYS OF CONCENTRATED LEARNING WITH SPEAKERS AS THEY TEACH THEIR TECHNIQUES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING AND SELLING.

FROM INEXPERIENCED, NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS TO MASTERS OF THE CRAFT, THESE WORKSHOPS ARE FOR ALL WHO WANT TO TAKE THEIR IMAGES TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND BEYOND.

Wedding and portrait photographers today have to be business people, marketers, PR professionals, bookkeepers, market analysts, innovators, computer experts and of course photographic artists. We have to always update our information and education to stay on top of new products and demands as well as stay in business. We can expect a lifetime of learning to be ahead of us. To own or use a camera does not make a professional photographer.


August Exposure has been created to help wedding and portrait photographers gain experience and lessons from other photographers at all levels of the industry. What better way is there to learn? The speakers have been in business for two years, ten years or more years than they want to count.

The experienced photographers can share their mistakes so you don’t repeat them and their success’s, so you can repeat them. A photographer with ten years experience has come through the hard years and is ready for the next cycle and set of goals. This may be to work smarter, not harder or it could be that they wish to put more effort into growing the business now they have systems in place. A photographer with two years experience is going through a steep learning curve and trying to stay financially viable. This is the hardest stage and is when many photographers go broke or give up. This is not the time to give up, this is the time to look at your business and improve it.


Your photography expertise is part of the business growth. What is your style or do you even have a style? What is your market strength? Should you change what you are doing and if so how? Do you wish to win awards? How can you differentiate from the rest of the photographers? What will our market be looking for in the next few years? What are we going through in the current economic climate?


You are not alone out there as you go through these challenges. We will help you with your portrait creativity and business.


Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants some time in their careers. The speakers at August Exposure have all done this and now they want to pass it on. You will leave the seminars with ideas to move you through the next level of your photography.


The seminar covers photography, marketing and business.

The photography business is a dynamic beast, constantly changing and challenging, so the experienced photographer who stays ahead of the challenges will want to be at this seminar. You can email Rob or myself at the August Exposure address for any queries. Can't wait to see you in person.
