After 20 minutes of shooting, Oscar will deconstruct the shoot and show other successful shoots and talk about process of shooting them and finally field questions about getting published and any other questions. We will announce a private seminar Oscar will do with 5 or so paying photographers, in the near future.

His unique and creative style of managing to combine sensuality while maintaining a high standard of quality is highly sought after by magazines, models and clients alike. Those who see his work become entranced by the sheer energy and passion exuding from the stunning compositions, colors and vibrancy.

Jerry was president of ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) in New Mexico, and lectured for Fujifilm. He now teaches lighting at Palm Beach Photographic Centre.

As a photographer, I always wonder why I shoot what I do, says Jerry. At the meeting Jerry will explore the process involved in image creation. Jerry states that “in the digital world megapixels, algorithms and workflow seem to rule”, and ask “Does the technical dominate or is the image the destination?” Jerry will also discuss architectural photography, as well as a look at the decision process in photography.
