In the Spotlight – August 20th
Hello everyone and welcome to another week of ‘In the Spotlight’. This week we introduce a few new class offerings from VPW, great upcoming event, and something FREE… Let’s start with FREE.
In an effort to educate as well as entertain, Myself and Morten are hosting a free seminar, “Your photographs suck and your blog is boring” - Photo Blogging 101. This is a fun fact filled 2hr seminar integrating photography with internet geekery. This seminar is designed for anyone interested in starting your own blog, or if you have one and are looking to improve upon it. This presentation was very well received at this year’s Northern Voice Conference, filling the seats, people sitting on the floors and standing in the aisle. We are hoping to continue with this trend so sign up early for this event.
Tickets available only on Meetup.com & Eventbrite.com.
… and now, NEW OFFERINGS!!
First new offering, Morten has also developed a new series of classes for VPW. The series begins this September with part 1 of “Building an Online Portfolio with WordPress“. The first 5 registrants get in for $295! This will be a defining series on WordPress offered here in Vancouver. Trust me, Morten is a genius when it comes to WordPress and it’s capabilities, he’s helped me on numerous occasions with really confusing issues. More info…
The second new offering was hinted at last week. So this week, I am very pleased to announce The Photo Scavenger Hunt series. That’s right, 10 themes/assignments created for you to flex you photographic brain. These classes are a totally new format for VPW. The Scavenger Hunt series take place online. ALL of the assignments are completed on your own time, then uploaded to specific location where all discussions will be carried out in a group format. Both of these classes are being offered at an introductory price of $150. There are 2 formats to these assignment based classes.
- Mobilography taps into the newest technology of our smart phones and social communities in order to create and share photos. Register here.
- The DSLR version will be more strict and is designed to use the capabilities of the DSLR camera. Register here.
Each of these classes has an ‘in class’ introduction and the weekly assignments are completed outside of a classroom setting, allowing you all the time you need to create an image based upon that weeks ‘theme’. Both classes will meet up for a final showing and discussion of their images. The images will be shown in a gallery setting with choice photographs printed by VPW.
