DISTINGUISH YOURSELF

How can you separate yourself from the hordes of people with "prosumer" cameras that have suddenly become professionals? And, how can you set yourself apart from the truly accomplished professional down the street? In Steve's class he will be demonstrating the techniques that Ervin Photography has used to create new markets and products that not only appeal to clients but also speak to the fact that they are not an ordinary studio. Steve will demonstrate how they use sports posters, senior composites and fine art pieces to distinguish themselves in the community and enhance their reputation as artists. These are not simply Photoshop tricks, but are real world products that Ervin Photography has used to attract new clients and to keep the ones they already have. By using a combination of Photoshop and Painter techniques, Steve has developed a style that is unique and recognizable. In the class he will be sharing everything from compositing techniques to brush settings so that you can begin carving your own path and creating your own distinctive styles. Steve has been awarded the Master of Photography, Craftsman, Master of Electronic Imaging and is PPA Certified and recently was featured on the cover of PPA magazine.
