Summer Workshop 2012 Oregon- National Geographic Photographer


Vacation time coming up? Take a workshop with Lynn Johnson
Lynn's is an accomplished photographer and you most likely have seen her work cover the pages of LIFE MAGAZINE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, (the latest is that of the Apostles). Lynn doesn't strive for fame and as far as I know has never entered a contest. She tells stories and hopes to change a bit of the world.

We will cover much more than knowing how to click as being a good photographer includes a spiritual and holistic vista of cultures. You can check out the latest issues of National Geographic Magazine for Lynn's work.

Photographing Tip on Clothing

OK so you have got to ditch the logos, patterns and circles on those clothes. When photographing a person all those things on clothing distract. Instead ask your clients (or if you are the person in front of the camera) wear solid complimentary colors that go well with your skin type and hair. Or simplify with one pattern to break the rules

Questions to Ask a Photographer before Hiring

ON the Knot they pose some great questions to ask when looking for a wedding or bridal photographer. How many years have you been a "professional" photographer? What is your training? (Degrees are becoming important again). However I don't agree with "is the photographer part of an association".

I have belonged to several associations and it is most often about handing over the money monthly sometimes hundreds of dollars to have that association.

It is not about whether the photographer is a good shooter or has a degree (I have a Master's degree) in Visual Communications from Ohio University. If a photographer can throw together about 10 decent images shot over the last 20 years and has the money they are in.
I do maintain a membership with National Press Photographers and Sports Shooters because of the friendships I have there.
