We are generally quite terrible at remembering to give due notice (or any mention) for any speaking engagement that we do so in the spirit of change, we would like to let you know in advance about our next talk.  Next Thursday (September 3rd), Sean and I will be speaking at our local Pictage User Group and we would love to see you there.  

 

For those who don’t know, the Pictage User Group, otherwise known as PUG, is a community of local portrait and wedding photographers who get together to share ideas, learn, and get to know each other.  Some of the biggest names in our industry come out on a regular basis to share their knowledge with the group as well and while we feel we are small fish in the speaker pond, we are excited to have been asked to share with our local community! =)

 

Please note:  if you are not a member of Pictage, you are still more than welcome to attend PUG!  In fact, we would love for you to join us!  We meet on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30pm in the St. Bernard’s building in Hillsboro Village.  The address is 2021 21st Ave South Nashville, TN.  For more information about PUG or Pictage in general, you can contact our local PUG leaders Peter and Whitney Carlson.  

 

If you’re interested in hearing more about what we’ll be covering next Thursday, please check out the description below: 

 

 

Shooting with Purpose, Shooting with Style:  Pushing the envelope and delivering amazing results, no matter what!

 

The location is awful, the light is bad, the wedding party runs late, things come up, and the couple doesn’t give you enough time after the ceremony.  How many times have these things happened on any given wedding day?  Sean and Mel McLellan have experienced any and all of the above on multiple occasions and they’ve developed a shooting style that has proven successful in beating all odds!  They’ll share examples of amazing images captured in the most unlikely conditions, show you how they are able to capture a wide variety of imagery in a short period of time, and even cover a bit of their post-processing methods. 

 

 

 

We look forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones very soon! =)  

 

– Mel and Sean

    Thank you so much for your presentation! Michelle and I greatly appreciate your words of wisdom. I am still amazed at how many fantastic and unique shots you are able to achieve in so little time, all while infusing the personalities of your clients into each shot. We aspire to your goal of putting Nashville on the map in the world of photography! You are both very inspiring and generous.
