Overview:

Day 1 features an in-depth panel discussion with local industry professionals on the business of assisting. If you are interested in learning more about, or trying to gain access to, the Colorado photography market this is a great opportunity to ask your questions and learn what it means to be a great assistant. If you are a professional photographer who has never hired or is looking to hire new assistants this will be a great time to meet many new faces.

Day 2 gives you hands-on experience with a local pro showing you how to use everyday equipment and then getting a chance to try it out yourself.

We will have fabulous door prizes you won’t want to miss, including two Capture One Pro licenses, thanks to Digital Transitions!
