Shutter Fest 2014

I very first saw Sal Cincotta speak at hotel in Kansas City. I was still working my full time job. He totally spoke my language and I thought the man was a genius. I remember telling him how how scared I was to take the leap. Boy am I glad I implemented what he taught me and did it. I love my life and what I do now. I wouldn’t change it for the world! Sal introduced the idea of “Shutter Fest” A free conference for photographers with speakers, hands on experience and fun with other photographers. Shoot. Learn. Party. That was the motto and boy did we do all three! We took a chance and signed up to go and it was a great experience. So glad we were part of the “freshman class” Shutter Fest 2015 is already on the books and it’s just going to get bigger and better.

What is Shutter Fest?

Shutter Fest was two days of photography classes, speakers, workshops, hands on shooting, vendors and of course partying! I have been to plenty of photography workshops and get together in the past. This was different. Everyone checked their ego at the door. All the speakers really cared about helping you and getting to know you. Sal and Taylor took the time to talk to everyone, be at the workshops with us and partied with us. They are such a great team and put on an amazing conference. Can’t wait for Shutter Fest 2015!

 

Why go?

As a photographer I think its so important to keep your self up to date on new techniques and products. You can always learn something new no matter how long you have been in this business. It’s also refreshing and inspiring being around so much amazing talent. I always want to grow my business and keep innovating. It’s up to me to keep my clients happy, bring them new stuff and keep new clients coming in the door. Innovate or die!
