What happened - August 15, 2011

In case you could not attend the last Artists Guild Photography Section meeting, here's a quick recap...

David Altman demonstrated a technique called Flow Posing which he is using for wedding photography. Doug Gordon can get dozens of unique poses accomplished in very little time. The wedding day is rushed, and the bride and groom want to get to the reception, so speed is important, but also preserving the memories and feeling of the day is important as well. The quicker you can capture those moments, the quicker everyone gets back to living.

The simple and powerful idea is to arrange the poses you want in an order that requires very small changes from shot to shot. Whether it is as simple as turning a head or placing a hand in a different location, the poses flow from one to the next with little movement required.

Jim and Joyce Trotter modeled as our newlyweds for the poses. David Altman used a set of images printed on cards connected together with a binder ring. These acted as his storybook to move from one pose to the next. No more standing back wondering what pose you have done yet. And best of all, no one is wasting time trying to swap positions and move around each other. Small movements from frame to frame.
