So this photographer is hitting the books, sort of. I will be attending the Texas School of Photography all next week. The school is sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tppa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Professional Photographer&#8217;s Association<\/a>, which I am a member. The TPPA is affiliated with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ppa.com\" target=\"_blank\">Professional Photographer&#8217;s Association<\/a>, which I am also a member. These organizations seek to increase it&#8217;s members business knowledge as well as educating them. I have found my memberships in these associations very valuable and a great wealth of resources in the subject of photography and running a studio. Thanks PPA &amp; TPPA!<\/p>\n<p>So I am heading back to school to attend the &#8220;A Week With Dave Newman: Portrait Essentials&#8221; course. I wanted to refresh my skills in the essentials of portraiture. My instructor is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dave.newman.5036?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Dave Newman<\/a>, a well know author and portrait artist. We will have classroom lectures, instructor demonstrations and models to practice our learning throughout the week, testing out new techniques in posing and lighting. I hear that he is a blast and I am looking forward to getting some new ideas and sharpening the tool.<\/p>\n<p>So you might be asking yourself, &#8220;Why is he doing this? Doesn&#8217;t he already know how to do this?&#8221; Of course I do but I am the curious George type. I like to learn more about my craft, gain new insights and techniques in making better portraits for YOU, my customer! I plan to share my new knowledge by providing you with the best photographs of you and your loved ones. I want to leave you speechless when you see what we can do for you.
