“Photography isn’t just taking pictures, it’s about telling a story – and to tell a great story, you must understand the principles of light. That understanding is as important as the backdrop, setting, and the subjects themselves- great lighting makes for great stories.”
Join our hosts, Troy Miller and Steve Brazill, as they talk with Ian Spainer about images that exemplify this idea and how to capture photos that tell the story you want to share. Whether creating images in your backyard, traveling, or in a studio, creating images that tell a story should be the goal for all photographers. Part of that journey comes from developing a style—So they’ll explore how you can sort out developing your style and how light is your path towards better photography.

Meet our guest

Registration is required to attend
Beverages are everywhere—water, coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages—you’ve got one of them near you all day. Chances are good that as you read this, you’re holding one or there’s one on the table near you right now. Look around in magazines and billboards; beverage photography is everywhere, and as more and more craft beverages become popular, you’ll only see them more often. But shooting beverages means shooting glass, and glass can be an unforgiving subject.
Join our hosts, Troy Miller and Steve Brazill, as they talk with still life and food photographer, Freddy Clark, on the best practices when photographing beverages, including:

How to prepare bottles, cans, and glasses to get a professional look
Beverage styling techniques and tricks
How to approach lighting a scene
Use of light modifiers for different looks

Meet our guest
Freddy Clark’s career took a couple of twists and turns before becoming a Beverage and Food Photographer. After a decade working full time in radio, the birth of his daughter inspired his love for photography. After spending a couple of years shooting weddings for other studios, he was asked if he would do some food shots for a local restaurant and found his calling.
Today, Freddy works for Beverage Brands and restaurants as the photographer of Santé Beverage & Food Photography. He has taught workshops on photography for Princeton Photo Workshops, Canon, and independently.

Have you ever listened to judge commentary during an Image Competition and thought to yourself “What does that mean?”
Join us for an Image Competition debriefing. This is the time to ask a judge (not the one who critiqued your image) what could be done to improve your image or to explain a comment that was made. You may remain anonymous or you may ask questions directly and specifically.
If you would like to receive comments for one of your July Image Competition submissions, email imagecomp@ieppv.com with the image’s name.
