FPPF Wedding Photography Workshop

as received in my e-mail
===============================

The FPPF Wedding Photography Workshop is designed to hone photographers to effectively cover and document weddings and prepare them as professional wedding photographers. The first Wedding Photography Workshop will be held on November 17-22, 2009, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the FPPF Studio in Intramuros, Manila.

The six-day workshop is aimed at aspiring wedding photographers, advanced amateurs, photography studios who do wedding coverage, hobbyists and photography students who want to learn the ropes of wedding photography.

Two noted professional wedding photographers will conduct the workshop: Jomel Gregorio and Joe Galian, both professional photography instructors at the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts.

For Jomel Gregorio, the wedding image should be simple but should immortalize the true emotions, human interactions and split second details of that special day. To be unique it should be captured with style.

Joe Galian currently shoots for various high end wedding photography studios. He will showcase various styles involved in wedding portraiture and the photojournalistic style of wedding coverage.

The Wedding Photography Workshop will also feature wedding photo lectures from FPPF instructors Vic Sison, Ador Pamintuan and graphic artist Frando Culata.
