Photography Unfiltered with Catherine Hall

I have been invited to speak at the Hallmark Institute of Photography on April 23rd.  The school has an exceptional reputation and I am very excited to be a part of the curriculum.  Thank you to my generous sponsor, Epson,for your immense support in photographic education.

This year I was selected as one of the four photographers to contribute to the Day in the Life of WPPI annual publication.  The book is produced by GraphiStudio, and includes behind the scenes coverage of the Trade Show, print competition and awards show from four different photographer’s perspectives.  I worked closely with Michelle Kersten to come up with a concept to differentiate this book from previous editions. She has been brilliant to work with and I am looking forward to publication.

I wanted to thank Canon for graciously allowing me to use their G7 model for those times I didn’t want to carry my 5d with all my lenses.  The camera is compact, allows complete control with manual adjustments, and has a10 Megapixel sensor.  Problem with letting me borrow?  Now, I need to go out and buy my own!

I am off to Vegas this week to teach a Master Class at WPPI, the largest and best photography convention in the country. There are only 33 Master Classes in this 10,000+ person convention, so it is a special opportunity.

I was recently Sponsored by Epson and they will be using my images for advertising and as samples of what their incredible Photo Printers are capable of.  Below is one of the selected images.

I have always used Epson printers in my workflow (because they are the best) but now I will also be using some of their other products, such as the Epson P-5000 multimedia photo viewer – amazing stuff, check it out at the Epson website.

Recently, I was selected to be a speaker at WPPI Vegas 2007. I feel incredibly honored. I am really excited about the class and can’t wait to share everything I have learned since starting my business.

Below is title and class description:
