The Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) held its 30th anniversary this year reaching record high attendance. Photographers from Japan, Russia, Australia and several other countries joined 15,000+ photographers to share and learn the tricks of the trade.
Living Arts College photography students experienced four nights in Las Vegas, at one of the largest photography conventions in the world. They mingled, socialized and learned from the world’s most talented photographers.
For the city that never sleeps, the photography students attended classes by day and toured the city by night. They learned marketing strategies, photography techniques, and the must know basics of photography. They captured photos of the city lights and architecture.
The Canon Keynote Speaker Gregory Heisler, world renowned photographer presented an exciting overview of his portrait work for magazines, advertisements and private commissions. His photography has been featured in more than 70 issues of TIME magazine as well as LIFE, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and The New York Times Magazine.
