If you are on my page that lists Camera Accessories and Equipment, then I am assuming you have an interest in photography. I thought this would be a good page to get on my soapbox and help promote an event I am organizing in Los Angeles, it is with U.K. Fashion Photographer Bruce Smith. In addition to writing this blog, I am also a photographer. I thought working with Bruce would be a great opportunity for me, hence my involvement in this project. Here is more info on the course and a link to the LA Workshop Facebook Page. If you are interested please “like” the page, thanks!
Los Angeles photographers we will have the opportunity to shoot with Bruce Smith, world renowed fashion photographer! Dates are currently scheduled for October 2012.
