Guest Speaker Frank Donnino Cr. Photog
South Florida Camera Club is very pleased to announce professional photographer and our guest speaker for October 2nd 2008 Frank Donnino Cr. Photog of Donnino Galleria Portraits. Frank specializes in baby, family and maternity portraits.
From humble beginnings in his home studio on Long Island, New York back in 1980, to his present studio location in the Palm Beaches, Frank Donnino has studied his craft and spares no expense to do so. Frank has been privileged to study with some of the top photographic talent throughout the world and his mentors have shaped the very fabric of what Frank Donnino creates to this very day.
Frank Donnino’s humility and life story makes him a sought after teacher. He recently spoke to a packed audience for the Imaging USA conference in Tampa, Florida with over 8500 photographers in attendance. While there, he received the Professional Photographers of America “Photographic Craftsman” Degree for his service to other photographers. His willingness to share his knowledge with other aspiring photographers throughout the world is his joy and passion as he gives back the knowledge he was so freely given.
Frank has not only been a keynote seminar speaker for some of the finest photographers in the country, but he has personally mentored to over 500 studios throughout the world on the techniques he uses for his photography and studio operations. It’s Frank’s ambition to inspire his students to the fact that any talent photographers have, is a “borrowed” gift, and that this gift must be used for the greater good, and should always be shared.
Frank Donnino will be speaking about life, photographing babies, workflow, sales, making a profit and staying out of debt. This is one program you do not want to miss!
In addition to this wonderful seminar given by Mr. Frank Donnino, we will also be holding a raffle to win a day spent with Frank Donnino in his studio. The raffle will be $10 each ticket, so bring cash if you’re interested in this great opportunity to learn “one on one” from one of the best!
