2011 Convention Speaker – Mark & Mindy Gibson

Posted by Ryan º April 1, 2011 º Education | Quarterly Information º 0 comments
Marc and Mindy Gibson have been involved in photography and graphicdesign for nearly 20 years. The two of them met in the dorms at DixieCollege. Mindy was recruited to be the editor of The Dixie Sun newspaperand Marc was beginning to find his love for photography. As they worked together frequently on the school paper, there was much more developing in the darkroom than just black and white photographs. After their marriage, Mindy continued on and finished her Bachelor’s degree and Marc eventually completed his Master’s degree in Business Administration. Then with the addition of three girls to the family, photography began to play a diminished role in their busy lives. However, they still found time to pick up a few weddings each year and took advantage of the beautiful fall colors by booking family members, friends and close acquaintances. As their children got older and began to attend school, Mindy was able to put more time and effort into growing the business-first out of their home and then into a small retail location. Today, Marc and Mindy are the proud owners of a local studio located at Historic Gardner Village called Highlite Photography. Although they offer photography services including weddings, children and high school seniors, the Gibson’shave developed a love and a passion for outdoor family portraits that is the foundation of their business. Come see them speak as they kick off the annual 2011 IPPA convention. They will share their story from having no studio, to a home studio, and then to a retail studio. Their program will include the key factors of success for all family portrait photographersas well as a demonstration of posing techniques and outdoor lighting using off-cameraflash.

Mock Print Competition Party

Posted by Ryan º February 17, 2011 º Education | Quarterly Information º 0 comments

March 7th, 2011

It is getting time to think about print competition again.  Every year the IPPA holds a mock print competition to help our members tweak their images for competition.  We have local judges come and judge your images and help you learn what you might do to increase your print scores.  Every year this event has become bigger and bigger.  We would invite you to come and the best part is there is no charge for IPPA members.

The Imaging Depot in Ogden is hosting the event this year.  The address is:

The Imaging Depot
2501 Grant Ave.
Ogden, UT  84401

We will meet at 9:00 am and go until we are finished (usually about 1:00 or 2:00).  Lunch will be provided by the Imaging Depot.

There is a big change this year for the mock print competition.  This year you can submit the prints digitally.  That way you don’t have to spend the money to get them printed just in time to learn what to change.  Email you images to me, Ryan Hadley (ryan@mpiphotovideo.com) by Thursday March 3rd.  If you want to bring prints I still need to know you are coming .  E-mail me and let me know so we have you on the schedule.

Lunch will be provided so we need each person attending to register.  There is no cost for members but we need to know how many are coming so we can be prepared.  Please fill out the form below.  You can also submit your images with the form below.

You can submit up to 5 images to be reviewed.  They can be either printed or digital.  If you will bring prints you only need to bring them with you on the 7th.  If you are going to submit digital files you can use the form below or you can email them to me at ryan@mpiphotovideo.com.  I need all the digital files before March 5th so they can be organized.  Prints can be 8×10 or larger.

2011 Certified Professional Photographer Exam

Posted by Ryan º January 29, 2011 º Education º 0 comments

In a world where anyone can buy a digital camera and some business cards it is important to set yourself apart from the competition.  Certification is one of those ways to tell your clients that you are a professional and that you know what you are doing.  To obtain your certification you must declare your candidacy with the PPCC, pass a 100 question examination, and have a portfolio reviewed and approved.

For those who would like to take the test, you can do Sunday morning at the IPPA convention.  Prior to that you must declare your candidacy for certification as well as register for the IPPA testing time and location through the PPCC.

For more information you can contact the PPCC through their email: PPCC@certifiedphotographer.com or give them a call at 1-888-772-2780.  You can also visit their website at http://www.certifiedphotographer.com/resources/cpp-resources/cpp-certification-faqs-1/ .  You are also welcome to call Ted York at (801) 310-3336.
