Guy Gowan

Guy Gowan is a legend in the world of digital imaging, work flow and manipulations. His seminars and DVDs sell out, he is constantly besieged by questioning followers, and his unique approach and opinions set the agenda for manufacturers worldwide.

Guy is an accredited Adobe and Apple expert, the creator of a popular series of Photoshop tutorial DVDs which instead of merely selling preset Actions teach the user to create their own Actions and Droplets.

He offers a website-based programme to keep photographers up to date with techniques covering the entire Adobe Creative Suite range of products and more.

Guy's talks on the MPA exhibition stand at Focus on Imaging 2009 stopped the traffic - the entire aisle space was taken up by an audience which extended well beyond the seating area. He will be unveiling some new learning methods.

He's also recently received his Fellowship of the MPA for his outstanding tuition over the past three years. This really is a programme not to be missed.

L-R: Zung (The Photoz), Jason (Camwork Weddings), Edmund (Edmund Tham Photography), Jim (JimLiaw Photography), Jenny (Jenny Sun Photography), Lee Kuen (Bridal Glam), Louis (Louis Pang Studio) and Patrick (Exes Studio)

Dressed in black attires ala Men In Black except for Jim who claimed that he was wearing black (but in stripes of course) together with special invited guest; Lee Kuen from Bridal Glam; they've shared very useful, informative and practical advices from planning to budgeting, skin tone to make-up and the most important element - communications (emphasize added) between Couples and designated photographers!

Hosted by Prince Hotel & Residences, couples who attended the Workshop had a chance to sample banquet foods i.e. Chinese, Malay & International. I must say the food is excellent until we have forgotten to snap pictures of it.

Organised the second time since last year, couples who participated at the Workshop brought home some goody bags. Some won exciting lucky draw prizes which are sponsored by various wedding vendors.

For the Grand Prize 2009, Elizabeth Foong and Erwin Goh walked away with Pre-wedding Portraiture Shoot sponsored by the Signature Photographers and Flaunt Weddings.

Congratulations Elizabeth & Erwin! Have fun shooting with all these fun-loving seven photographers and we are sure that your images will be stunningly beautiful!
