INPA on Location

It is the another "every other Thursday"... time for an INPA meeting. This time it is at a location in Spokane Valley that I have never been to before. I hope to learn lots. I'll twitter any important facts.

Here is a shot from Kurt Langland during our February '09 INPA shoot. It was really an incredible experience. If you are a photographer in Spokane check us out.

Here is a frame I shot at the last INPA meeting and photoshoot held Thursday February 26th. Peter Boden and Paddy Hoy were so generous to let me snap a few frames on their set using their model Kristina. I was interested in their DIY lighting devices. This is shot with their cardboard tubes.

I have so much to learn about flash photography. I am going to bring my soft boxes next time.

INPA Photoshoot

I just got back from the Inland Northwest Photographer Assembly photoshoot and I am stoked. I found this association through their flickr group. There were about thirty photographers and models in attendance. Many photographers set up portrait studios in various room in the Web.com building on Washington Street. The vibe was great. I felt excited and everyone there were very understanding, engaging and willing to give advice. I learned a lot about strobe photography in particular, something which I am truly lacking in. I am so excited to go shoot some of my own stuff.
