A Message from Our PresidentWelcome to the 85th Annual Vermont Professional Photographers Convention! 85 years ago the 1st telephone was installed in the White House, Ansel Adams was just starting out, the 1st color TV was demoed, Babe Ruth became the 1st to hit 500 homers, and the stock market crashed triggering the “Great Depression”. A lot has changed over the past 85 years and not just within the world we live in, but within our organization as well. While at times we may feel like we are struggling and just hanging on, we have proven that neither the digital age nor the “Uncle Bobs” will make professional photographers obsolete. Instead we grow, we learn, and we adapt in order to continue forward. And though we may have a smaller group than we had in our heyday, we have a strong group of professionals that are dedicated to perfecting their craft and cultivating relationships with their fellow professionals. I believe that that is more important than lowering the standards of our organization in order to boost membership numbers.

This past year has been yet another wonderful experience on the VPP Board. My extreme gratitude is extended to each of my board members for their time and commitment to the running of our fine organization. Without each of our board members we would be lacking in the quality education and meetings that allow us to learn from one another as well as professionals from around the world.

I hope that you enjoy your time at the convention this year and take home not only some new ideas but some great memories as well. I look forward to spending time in conversation and education with you over the next year with the Vermont Professional Photographers.

Kindly, Kathleen

The purposes of the organization are to raise the standards of photography, both professionally and ethically, and to create, foster, promote and maintain cordial relations and exchange knowledge among its members.

The annual convention is an in-depth opportunity to learn, compare notes, receive honors, relax and have fun together.

1. The practice of photography, both as a science and as an art, is worthy of the very best thought and endeavor of all who enter it as a vocation.

2. Our fellow photographer’s name and reputation shall be as sacred to us as our own.

3. No untrue or misleading statements shall be made, in any way, in any form, in business promotions.

4. It shall be our duty to impart freely of our knowledge so that photography among our members may be raised to higher standards.

5. It shall be our duty, individually, to strive to serve the public to the very best of our ability in all matters pertaining to photography.

12 Elements of a Merit Print • Impact - What you see first. What holds your eye. What demands

your attention. What commands you to look. • Creativity - Originality. A fresh approach.

Creative subject, cropping, design, invention, feeling, etc. • Style - Your style reflects your vision. Artistic expression and

uniqueness of execution • Composition - Harmonious arrangements. Placement of subject matter.

Using dynamic symmetry to place the most important objects within a space. Good rhythm is created by repetition, whether it is color, space, lines, moods, or divisions of the photograph.

• Presentation - Dare to be different. The presentation enhances the photograph. Does the cropping add to the composition? Does the matting and mounting compliment and support the image?

• Color Balance - Creative use of color - examples: complimentary colors, dark against light, strong against weak. Interpretive, primary, secondary, tertiary, aggressive and receding colors.

• Center Of Inte rest - Subject matter holds the eye. The main subject is arranged so that one center of interest prevails. Secondary points are also important to the photograph, but shouldn’t be distracting.

• Lighting - Lighting is the art of photography. It creates the mood, reproduces the characteristics of the subjects, and makes a statement. Good directional lighting is essential. Without it, photography lacks strength and definition.

• Subject Matter - Interpretation of the subject matter. Selection of the subject. Treatment can be very creative: young and old, warm and cool. The camera angle for the subject is important.

• Print Quality - Details in the highlights and shadows. Using the middle tones. Good color balance. Good strong contrast. Background in key with the subject.

• Technique - Technique is the foundation of creative photography. How well all the elements are assembled and combined. Different treatments for the subject matter. Knowledge of art principles is important. Breaking the rules can be a good technique only if the follow through is purposeful with forethought.

• Story Telling - Every picture should tell a story and be able to be understood in just a moment or two. The reason for the photograph and the statement it is making. The achievement of a purpose helps build an emotional response which challenges the viewers imaginations and views.

Throughout Ed’s many years of lecturing across the country, if there is one constant he hears photographers cite as their greatest challenge, it is hands down ‘sales’ and how can they increase their sales average. This program is designed to help demystify and simplify the sales process. ‘SALE’ is not a four letter word to fear! Learning to sell is critical to having a successful portrait business and by the end of this program Ed will teach you to embrace sales. The key to having success in all that you do is preparation. First, you must effectively market your business to get your phone to ring. Second you must create beautifully posed images with great expressions and variety; and third, you must have an uncomplicated, organized sales system. Ed’s formula to a successful sale starts with effective marketing. His program will cover marketing strategies that will help make your phone ring throughout the year. He’ll demonstrate how to capture a variety of properly posed images and how to get great expressions that wow your client and create a need. He’ll conclude with step by step instructions on how he prepares his images before the sales session, walk you through his image presentation process, share tips, techniques and wording to use during the image presentation and demonstrate how he has perfected making the sales session enjoyable and uncomplicated for both you and your client. Ed’s proven sales formula will teach you how he has mastered selling wall portraits to 98% of his clientele by educating and wowing them and how you can easily and effectively do the same.

2014 Conference - Simply Great

KharaPlicanic

Business, life, love... it’s all pretty simple actually. So why do we insist on making it all so darn complicated? We’ve all heard that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication, but how can that be applied to workfl ow? What about business strategy? In this workshop, you’ll see how less hassle, less stress, and less work clears the way for more freedom, more profi t, and most importantly—more fun. If your workfl ow is out of control and your edit backlog is piled sky high, it’s time for an intervention. (Imagine being able to edit an entire wedding—and design the album—in a single day, with plenty of time left to cook dinner!) We’ll start by redefi ning “workfl ow” as we streamline everything from strategy to software. Toss some Adobe InDesign basics into the mix, and you’ll be making wedding albums, pricing guides, contracts, and interactive PDFs, so quickly and easily, you might almost feel guilty. Almost.

A one-woman show, Khara has been dazzling clients with outrageous service and record-breaking turnaround times since shooting her fi rst wedding 14 years ago. Her book, “Your Camera Loves You: Learn to Love it Back” (Peachpit Press) showcases her unique teaching style and playful sense of humor that continue to endear her to an exponentially growing audience. Her latest book, “Album Moxie” (Peachpit Press) is helping to rescue photographers from their workfl ow woes with the magic of InDesign. Khara shares her passion, knowledge, and experience speaking at industry conferences and teaching on global platforms including creativeLIVE. She believes in good design, an effi ciently eff ective workfl ow, and all things covered in chocolate.
