February Presidents Message – Kevallyn Paskos
2013
Dear NCPP, Well, the New Year is upon us like a Northern California power storm! This has been a very cold winter, but we all know that Mother Nature is doing her job to guarantee a gorgeous year ahead. We are located in some of the most beautiful demographics and can’t wait to explore new landscapes and territories throughout 2013. January Guest Speaker – Shelly Waldman was an enthusiastic and informative speaker shedding light on the performance measures of doing business as a photographer. Since January was the perfect opportunity to reflect on last year’s performance, Shelly discussed how to look at last year’s numbers to forecast for 2013 and lead a panel discussion with fellow photographers about their struggles in running a business. Furthermore, she invited an accountant and a lawyer to talk about tax and law issues associated with growing a business and what needs to be in place when you hire your first employee. This was a great night shared by all and we learned invaluable tips to help build our own success with proper planning. Print Competition – This was our first night back in a couple of months and enjoyed viewing images on the big screen! The room was full of participants, members and judges enjoying the opportunity to check out the competition. The final congratulations goes to…1st Place – Wayne Miller “Dreamer“ and 2nd Place – Wayne Miller “The Blues”. Great job Wayne for demonstrating such a great variety of images to our lineup! Get ready for next month’s print competition as we are sure to see many more creative works of art. Judging Academy with Tim Mathiesen – Stay tuned to learn more about this upcoming event. Tim Mathiesen has put together a workshop for prospective judges so that we can raise the quality of all competitions around the state. The details of this class are: An all day workshop on the judging process, based on the PPA judging system and a place on the PPC qualified judging list. This workshop is very intense and involves hands on judging and discussion of the many aspects of judging. We are looking forward to planning this event! Happy Birthday NCPP – It is with the utmost respect that NCPP shares its gratitude with our founding members at this time. We are so incredibly fortunate to have such a continued history of doing business for 14 years and look forward to many more years. Our Mission Statement says it all and will continue to uphold our purpose and inspire others. NCPP will continue to make a difference in providing outstanding service and excellence to its membership. Sincerely, Kevallyn There is no such thing as a self-made man or woman. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken a word of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of our character and our thoughts as well as our success. George Matthews Adams NCPP Mission Statement: The Northern California Professional Photographers is an organization dedicated to advancing the business of professional photography. Our purpose is to create an environment amongst professional photographers that will inspire each of us and to help one another grow as business professionals and artists. 4

NCPP Proudly Presents Jennifer Bagwell on February 17, 2013 “Boost Your Business on a Budget� Jennifer Bagwell has been a wedding photographer for 5 short years and with each year she has grown her business. In 2012 she shot 35 weddings as the primary photographer which was 13 more than she did in 2011. She attributes her success to savvy marketing and building a brand based on happy clients, happy guests, and a social media frenzy. Jennifer will discuss the things that she tried along the way that worked and what didn't and how to make marketing investments with a great return. Learn how to create a brand that is talked about, celebrated and yields a fully booked schedule today, and future clients for tomorrow.
Petaluma based photographer Jennifer Bagwell has used her retail experience to get a leg-up in the photography industry. At Best Buy she worked on a special board that worked hand in hand with the Gallup Organization where they studied the psyches of different customers and their shopping habits along with studying work staff personalities and how to better utilize them to service customers. She was also the head of PR for Best Buy in San Francisco and handled all of their media relations while managing the SF store. She is also the proud stay-at-home mom of two adorable children as well as a full-time photographer.

“Dreamer” by Wayne Miller I first met Camille and her parents about 6 months prior to the image “Dreamer”. She was a fun subject to work with, even though we only had a few minutes shooting, and did a quick example of her ballerina skills. The next time I met with the family, and her younger sister whom is also a ballet dancer, we had more time and found this arched window at the Elk’s Hall in Sacramento to shoot in front of, I set up the shot with a high-key style image in mind because of the great light coming into the window. I used two speed-lights at 45 deg. – 6ft from the subject to light her while still keeping the background bright. For the gear heads: Canon 5d Mk2, 24-70mm f/2.8 shot at 48mm 1/60 @ f/4.5, ISO 800, Manual, and speed-lights were set a ½ power bounced into a small card that Velcro’s to the flash. The original walls were cream and the trim was a dark walnut. I decided to composite the image with a cloud background to further the high keyed effect. Thus the tile “Dreamer” felt more appropriate.

2nd place: “The Blues” by: Wayne Miller This image was created at a photo shoot that I organized with nine models and a few photographer friends. The theme was SteamPunk and it created a lot of interest from the models, although most of the photogs had to have the concept explained J I had shot several other times with Stephanie and this was the first time with Conrad. This was the last shot of the day, after most of the others had left, and I wanted to do a smoke filled room themed shoot. There was an old beat up grand piano (hardly visible) that they were next to. Conrad had a great attitude and brought his saxophone so we incorporated it with the smoke from two smoke machines, one key light (3ft sq. Soft box) and a bare bulb with blue-jell on the smoke. It was a challenge getting the smoke machines in sync without covering the subjects, but with help and several attempts, some tweaking it all worked out. Gear heads: Canon 5d Mk2, 24-70mm f/2.8, shot at 40mm 1/125 @ f/8.0, ISO 100, and two Alien Bees mono-lights, Paul C. Buff radio triggers. During the competition one of the judge’s comments was the background look “cheesy” without any real explanation why he felt that way or what he would have done to make it better. A lot of people might take offense to comments like this but I took it at face value that the judge might not be experienced in judging and expressing himself, or having a bad day. Image competition is PPA style which means it is geared toward IPC International Print Competition. You have to have though skin to compete, and take some of the comments for what they are worth. Print comp is to help one grow as an Artist not to stroke egos. With that in mind I did go back to the image and rework the background to enhance the smoke vs. “Cheesy” background. Know what he was right I like it better with the smoke cloned over the tie-dyed background.

February Western Regional Print Competitions 2013
2013
2013 is an exciting year for PPC and the Western Regional Print Competitions. For the first time in the history of PPC there will be two district competitions this year. The first competition will be in February and the second in August in conjunction with Pro Photo Expo. Why is this happening? Since PPC changed our dates for Pro Photo Expo from winter to summer, we have had to change the sequence of competitions to stay within the competition calendar of PPA. The PPA International Print Competition is held each summer and PPC has to conduct our print competition prior to the PPA judging. The February District Competition will be for the 2012/2013 competition. The August District Competition will be for the 2013/2014 competition year. This will only happen this year. All following years we will only have one District Competition and that will be conducted during our annual conference and Expo in August. The District competition is hosted by PPC and all entrants will have the opportunity to earn the PPA Seal of Approval. The competition in 2012 was a district event. The same categories will be judged and awards selected in February and August of this year by PPA qualified jurors. The award ceremony for both competitions will be held at the 2013 Pro Photo Expo in Pasadena. Entries for the February competition will be accepted beginning January 21, 2013 and close on February 15, 2013. Walk in cases will be accepted up until 7 PM and digital files must be uploaded by 5 PM EST. Read the rules completely and thoroughly. Any part of the rules that are not followed exactly will cause the entry to be disqualified.

NCPP Proudly Presents March 14th, 2013 – Scot and Sharon Benton Lighting & Posing We believe that lighting and posing go together. Can’t have one without the other. We touch a little on basic posing and focus on the details that define professional photographers. We do this with a PowerPoint presentation and live models. Scot’s strength is lighting while Sharon’s is posing. We show how we work together to create the images we are known for. Our presentation is fun and upbeat. We encourage questions during the presentation.
