Needing support from fellow photographers...
Helo PH2PRO'ers! I am so proud and excited to be nominated for the first ever Vic Dance Awards "Victoria's Favourite Dance Photographer" here in Australia.

Lucie Lecture: The Headshot and your Digital Identity
Come watch and listen as Peter Hurley engages in live shooting at the Lucie Lectures. Peter will discuss how the world is changing at a rapid pace and we are completely immersed and living in a digital society. If each of us has our own distinct digital identity that starts with our likeness, then how do we control it for ourselves as well as our clients...
Headshot climate and our opportunity to take the bull by the horns!
It's been a growing trend for me to be shooting more and more people interested in developing their personal brand. Not only individuals, but companies are seeing the worth in investing in headshots for their employees and understand that it's certainly not cool missing out on this human element of the corporate structure. I've got some big things on the...

Ok, I'm in on this too. Selling my H5D-50!
Not sure I want this to become a used camera equipment forum, maybe we'll make a new thread for this kind of stuff on the gear page. Think that would be a good idea. Anyway, yeah I'm letting my H5D-50 go, so if anyone is interested let me know. Also contemplating selling the lenses. I've got a 28,50,80,120macro,150 and 210. All in pretty good shape and...
On the fence about the ONLINE Intensive?
I've been away for awhile (you don't even want to know!) but now I am back. I recently wrote a blog post on my site about the difference quality education can make to a photographer. I joined PH2Pro a year ago and, honestly, had no clue. I didn't even know enough to know that I didn't know shit. Check out my before and after and let me know if the online...

Any day you get to fill in for Peter Hurley is a good day
Everyone knows that I am a Peter Hurley homer. One of the reasons is because of his generosity. Today I shot a big corporate gig that I got through Peter and Kent Meister.
