The Course
 Hold on to your hats and hang on for the ride, we're taking no prisoners. These guys have become known throughout the world for their fast paced, no-nonsense, shoot-from-the-hip and humorous presentation style. The marketing and success principles that they utilize not only teaches and preaches has been a favorite with many photographers who yearn to discover and apply the fastest, straightest line to wedding and portrait success without all the nonsense or hype. A "must attend" for the serious photographer.
This 5 day hands-on workshop will focus mostly on posing, lighting and creating high impact images that sell. Without a good product, your business, and your ability to close sales for profit will suffer. Learn how to create outstanding wedding images, baby portraits, children's portraits, families, head shots, glamour and even some commercial images that clients are eager to hand over their hard earned cash for. Bring your cameras and get ready to get involved. A laptop is suggested and a standard lens, and a mid telephoto. A zoom lens such as a 28-70mm or 80mm is ideal. Most of the class time will be doing live model shoots in all these areas, and students will get to participate. Some time will be allocated at the end of each day for download, workflow, questions and analysis.

Robert Provencher MPA, has been working as a photographer for over 27 years. He started his portrait studio at the young age of 24 and has never looked back. Rob specializes in weddings, portraiture and child and baby portraits. His striving and busy studio isn't a result of luck or chance. It was, as Rob puts it, "all due to goal setting, creating a plan, applying solid photography marketing strategies and of course offering a solid product." Success is no accident. Seeing your dream come true is more than just "finding the light", something that Rob teaches, but also constantly innovating and pushing the envelope with your photography and yourself.
