SWPP Members day

I was at the SWPP members day today, another fantastic day for information gathering and gaining inspiration from 2 of the greats.

First up, Mark Cleghorn with his "Splash of flash". He's like the duracell bunny, he just keeps going and going, divulging tips from his many years in the business and in this seminar, showing the creative use of flash. He catered for all budgets from using the expensive brand names right down to using budget LED lights, something for everybody.

The afternoon saw the arrival of Doug Gordon and his "High fashion, High glamour Weddings". This guy is highly entertaining and really makes an impression on you, probably the YMCA dance he gets the audience to join in with at the start! He is the master of flow posing and whilst at a Wedding, he will create a series of 50 different poses in 5 minutes! Today he took us through over 150, not that I can remember them all!

This evening I stayed on for a couple of the masterclasses. Jerry Ghionis, "Re-inventing the Wedding album" and Kevin Kubota, "The Kubota creative workflow system". Both speakers gave outstanding presentations, lively, informative and relevant. Back for the trade show day tomorrow.
