Learning from the best in the world – David Beckstead

Posted: August 3rd, 2010 | No Comments »

I attended the seminar with David Beckstead last week.  David is from the States and has been voted as one of the Top 10 Wedding photographers in the world. He is seen as a master when it comes to dramatic compositions and wedding images with a fashion flair.  It was a full on 8hr day  with David discussing composition, how he interacts with his couples  and how he gets those amazing images he is famous for.

We got to be “behind the scenes” of his work and he showed and talked about how a certain image was created and what to look for to get those images.  We also had lots of time to ask question and spend one on one time with David and he helped me with some new personal ideas for my weddings.

I have had a break and spent some time down in the Catlins walking the beaches and beautiful rain forrests.I have been coming up with fresh creative ideas for new projects, exhibitions and clients. I had a quick stop in Dunedin to meet some fellow NZIPP photographers and talking to Mike Langford and Jackie Ranken who is NZ Photographer of the year.catlins

Yesterday my wife and I went to listen to Christina Lamb talking about her life as a war reporter in Iraq and Afghanistan  and other war torn countries. A very inspiring talk. 
We also went to see L.A Mitchell perform last night  and what a treat it was. What an amazing  voice.

My own exhibition has been going great  with many visitors everyday.  I look forward to meeting gallery visitors today.lla_mitchell

I am looking forward to my exhibition at Festival of Colour here in Wanaka. I did the photography a few weeks ago and the project is still a bit of a secret…all i can say is its not landscapes!   Today the prints arrived. I  had them printed on NZ first Durst lambda digital master printer up in Wellington and they look absolutely stunning.  The print quality is the highest avaliable and by shooting the images with Canons latest camera I got the filesizes needed to get the detail i wanted.package
