Photography Unfiltered with Catherine Hall

For those of you wondering why I disappeared off the face of the earth for a week…. I was in Vegas for  EIGHT days. It was an incredible trip!  The week started with album judging where I served on panel of 10 international judges (1 of 5 selected from the United States.)  This was quite an honor considering the convention had over 10,000 attendees! 

My favorite albums of the comp are by Jerry Ghionis, Jim Garner. and the The Sallees. I also was a young gun – more information and photos to folllow! And finally, I had my Platform class on St. Pattys day.  The class was a huge success with nearly 1000 people there.  We even had people bringing in chairs from other classrooms.  All and all a great trip!Below is a photo of three of my favorite people at wppi, Melisa Slater, Lori Nordstrom,  and Deette Sallee.

I just got back from Los Angeles where I did a photo shoot with celebrity photographer, Greg Gorman.  The main difference with this shoot was that I was actually the model…so fun!

It was an incredible experience being in front of the camera of one of the greatest photographers of our time.  Above is a picture of Greg and me in his home.  I will post some of the images from the shoot shortly.

This spring WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) has invited me to present a Platform Class about Marketing to the Inspiring Bride.  The class will be held in Vegas on Monday, March 17th at 4:00 pm.  Speaking room holds 837 people, so come on over!

Students will learn how I have improved my business and quality of life by working with brides that respect and value my vision. I will show you how to market to your dream clientele, deserve & earn your clients’ trust so they feel comfortable investing in you, and attract clients that will challenge you and inspire your growth as an artist and photographer. Sponsored by Epson.

I will be part of a team of professional photographers and Adobe personnel working collectively and using a real-world backdrop to road-test the next generation of imaging software tools.

Location:  The island of Tasmania, off the southern coast of Australia.  It is going to be fabulous!

It has been a crazy week, starting with a seminar at the Digital Wedding Forum on how to create “SEXY IMAGERY” to an absolutely stunning wedding in NYC to heading up to Hallmark Institute in Massachusetts to give a lecture for Epson.  It is 13 degrees tonight so now I am just trying to stay warm!  Life is fun and full of  excitement!
