CES On The Canon Stage

Just ended 4 days at CES. What a show. I think I walked around when I was free and saw 1% of CES. But thank goodness for Google Alerts, as I spotted a video of me that was uploaded to YouTube, while I was on stage in the Canon booth. I had two wonderful models to use in my demos, Lorenzo and Ming.

Did the video show me working and doing great things with the models? Of course not. The video is a fairly dull spot where I'm setting up an explanation of hard light and soft light. Didn't even know someone was video taping to put online. But it gives you a sense of the stage and me. You can view the video here.

Below are a few of the images of Lorenzo and Ming shot on stage in the hustle and bustle of CES. All the photos were shot with strobes on the Canon 70D. Great, light camera, with wonderful resolution. No hair and makeup, just the models, assistants, and the lights.

I got to go to a private shoot Thursday night after the show in an airplane hanger that held a private jet and about 25 or more collector cars. There were a bunch of us and some models. I'll post that series in a few days but for now, on to Phoenix and the next convention starting Sunday. Stay tuned.

Convention Season Starts

Convention season starts right away in January. I'll be at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7 to 10 in the Canon booth doing my dog and pony show. Well actually it will be my photographing kids and lighting shows.

Then the following week I'll be in Phoenix at PPA's Imaging USA convention, also in the Canon booth. If anyone is at either show, stop by and say "Hey!"

I'll upload some images later in the month, but until I register the copyrights. Nothing for me ever gets uploaded until I register it. Like seat belts, safety first.

Here I am in the Canon Booth at last year's CES Convention. This year I'll be photographing models on stage along with lecturing. What fun! For me at least. Thanks for this photo Steve. Hard to get selfies on stage.

Here I am at a charity event at last year's CES, catching up with actor/director Joe Regalbuto, who once took one of my lighting classes at Photoshop World. Let's see what this year brings.
