The Portrait Masters Conference 2017
If you joined us for the Portrait Masters Conference 2017 in Palm Springs, you know what a whirlwind of a weekend it was. Every speaker exceeded my expectations ten-fold, the energy held by the attendees was electric, and each vendor who showcased their products were absolutely outstanding. I am so incredibly proud of my team and crew for their endless energy and hard work in preparing for and executing this event. The first of many.

I have been building a new body of work, a black and white study of portrait. I revealed this body of work during my first talk at the Portrait Masters. Over about an 8 week period, I asked people to sit for me. Some of them are people I know very well, some of them I had just met. Each subject did their own hair & makeup, and each shoot took no longer than 15 minutes. I used one strobe, the Profoto B1 and the 5′ octa.

After the conference, we were all in a daze. It went so fast and I wish I could have been able to talk to everyone more, but reading the attendees comments in the Sue Bryce Education Facebook Group filled me with so much love and gratitude. Here is one that was so beautifully written, I wanted to share:
“Having read all the comments for the post-Portrait Masters Conference, I determined that all the best adjectives have been used to shower Sue Bryce, and her team, with a much-deserved abundance of compliments.
So, how do I articulate my thoughts?
In my opinion, Sue Bryce is the most powerful woman in the world of photography—she is a tenacious leader whose vision to create the best business, education, and self-motivational model has come to fruition. Her reach is global. For thousands of photographers around the world, she is a celebrity who has influenced their work, and their lives. Sue Bryce is ruthless in seeing clearly the needs of beginning, and mature, photographers; she is the spark that ignites the focus of their goals. And scrutiny by so-called critics does not faze her—she is achingly honest and unapologetic—she remains steadfast in her belief system of value and service. Naysayers cannot diminish her credibility.
And so, as more than four hundred students watched this petite woman, with her mysterious resonance, sashay across the stage in her signature black dress, the thundering applause shook the theatre as she captured their minds and hearts.”
When will you come to the UK Sue? I am happy to put you up and help organise things but we need you here!!!
I am still vibrating from this conference…huge success!
When I click on the link, the SBE Facebook Group isn’t accessible to me, although I am a member of SBE. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
The energy, the passion, the hot sun, the sharing of inspiration and our stories.
Well Done!!
