Each month I get together for dinner and more training in the art of portrait photography. This month is when we have a picnic instead of the regular meeting with a speaker/seminar leader. The location for the picnic was at Charles and Carolyn Woods home in Franklin. Their back yard provided much inspiration for me as I consider the development of my country barn studio for indoor and outdoor portraits. You will see a wagon, a swing, and several other photo areas that were inviting us to be creative.

Photographers were invited to bring their families before the food was brought out to have portraits made. As photographers we do spend much of our time behind the camera and this was an opportunity for us to have portraits made. It was a great time sharing various ideas and lighting techniques and making portraits for each other.

I am delighted to be involved with a great group of professionals who seek to know each other and share their knowledge freely. If you are a photographer in the SW Ohio I would encourage you to join this group and start to attend the monthly dinner/seminars. We meet monthly at Bullwinkle’s Restaurant at the Middletown exit off I-75.

PPSO Professional Photographers of SW Ohio is an affiliate of PPO Professional Photographers of Ohio of which I am also a member.
