If you want to be a professional photographer or you are already a professional photographer, you are a fool if you don't attend Imaging USA!
Imaging USA is the national convention of the Professional Photographers of America. I have attended each convention for the last 6 years. It has changed my life and been the biggest influence in my career. Each year, a variety of photographers from a variety of disciplines take time to share their expertise with the attendees. Some of the biggest names in the industry teach on subjects from marketing, photography, and digital workflow to name just a few. There is also a huge trade show filled with the latest products all geared towards the professional photographer. Every camera company, studio strobe manufacturer, and Photoshop plugin maker is there. There are also several parties and a featured speaker. Last year, Ann Geddes spoke about her life and career.
Best of all, Imaging USA 2010 will be in Nashville, TN and it only costs $219 for two people if one is a PPA member. Mark your calendars. I look forward to seeing many of you there.
