Denis Reggie Seminar

I went to a great seminar last week by Denis Reggie in long island. Getting there was little tough because the place was in a small college. Some of us got lost. But they actually waited for us.


Denis is one of the leaders in the wedding industry. He is pure PJ(photojournalist) style and a story teller with camera. He shot a lot of famous people and celebrities. For example, Kennedy Jr’s wedding and Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s wedding. He shared how he market to the upscale people and what they are looking for and how his photography provided their needs. It’s kind of cool the way he put it. it’s like followers and leaders. The middle Americans are followers and the upscale people are more of leaders and live in the city. The upscale people prefer natural, untouched, to document the actual wedding event. They prefer "whole food" style, no posing, less Photoshop. The average American accept the artificial and wants more directions.


He also shared how he shoots during the wedding and what camera and lens he uses. He is a canon guy with all the top gears. He showed a lot of great pictures during the presentation. Pictures with great moment; emotions and the best part is, they weren’t posed. He also shared his techniques and how to bounce flash to get the natural looks. Those photos really inspired me a lot. Here is his website. Check it out.http://www.denisreggie.com/
