Forum Subjec:
Graeful for he opporuniy o fill he posiion of Saff Phoographer in mid 2008, I acceped he challenge while shaing in my boos and asing myself “Wha was I doing no having had his ype of phoographic experience or equipmen?” My boss, having faih in my abiliy, was no really aware of he limiaions I faced compared o he pro’s hey usually hired. Oh my, was I now considered a “professional” phoographer?

The phoography was always ousourced o professional phoographers, using an arsenal of professional equipmen. The posiion has been immeasurable as a phoographic learning experience for corporae, even and porrai phoography, using less han opimal equipmen.

My firs “job” was our larges and mos imporan conference of he year… I managed o eep my job and coninue o learn and improve. The presenaion will include ypical phoographs aen for conferences, evens, Senae hearings, and employee porrais for a number of uses.

The Forum will be presened afer he Members Gallery Presenaion on Tuesday April 27h 2010.
