Parish's New Painterly Portraits

''I've always been fascinated by master painters and have always had a desire to paint but since I don't know how to draw or paint in a realistic style, I've chosen photography as a tool to enable me to do exactly that!... Create painterly portraits! I've done many of these portraits within the past 10 years but this image of Acacia is very special to me because I've never done anything like it before. The beautiful part was when I was photographing her she really understood and gave me the kind of look, energy and mood that I was after.  This is the incredible, gift and power of photography that I cherish... The priceless gift of meeting all the special people and their contributions throughout my career.''

''GIVING ART THROUGH YOUR HEART AND SOUL''

Gustava Dudamel / Mambo Video

We can all choose to be our very best, ''magnificent'' as Aristotle puts it. Gustavo Dudamel who is the most charismatic conductor of our times exemplifies this so well. As the attendance for most symphony orchestra performances are declining, Gustavo's concerts are completely sold out and he is one of the world's most sought-after conductors and you could see why... He is so passionate about his work, loves what he does and his contagious energy exhilarates audiences worldwide. 

Look for yourself and see if you agree. Fast forward this youtube video about two-thirds and watch him perform Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, Mambo. Even if classical is not your kind of music, you can certainly feel his love, exuberance and great gift.

Canon Digital Learning Workshop

Just had a few minutes to review some of the shots from Canon Digital Learning Workshop. That my assistant Dilhan took. They bring back great memories of being such an energetic and great group of people.
We did so many different and fun photo/lighting situations. I think pushed everybody too hard. And I think I wore everybody out. All the emails which I receive from the attendees so positive and rewarding. Thank you my friends!

Workshop Day I - March 10th 2012...

Breaking the Rules!

Parish's demonstrates different lighting&posing set-ups. Using one light source and doing a lot of different things with that one light source. Parish discussed creating different lighting moods, and variety of posing techniques.
