photoshop user magazine
I was pleasantly surprised this week to find out that photohsop user magazine published a story I wrote about the trash the dress phenomenon. I was very excited to be featured (along with my wife) next some seriously talented folks. I had a chance to meet one of the photographers published in the article at WPPI, Cliff Mautner. I also parked myself next to the Nikon booth to hear him speak about making magical images… That guy is unbelievable! Check him out!
David Ziser was also featured (a talented photographer and photoshop artisan). I have featured David’s work here before on FF. I was hoping that I would get a chance to meet him at WPPI as well but with 1 zillion other photographers buzzing around everywhere, it was rather impossible to accomplish all my must see photographer goals…next time David!
SO, if you are in the neighborhood of a bookstore, pick up or sign up to receive a copy of photoshopuser magazine. Those guys working with Scott Kelby really have it going on… OH, I had a chance to meet up with Dave Cross at the Leaving Las Vegas shoot a few weeks ago. I’ve watched numerous episodes of him on Photoshop TV… Also, a special thanks for RC over at layersmagazine.com for asking / motivating me to write this article!
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for the Magazine. Sol Tamargo & I have this very dramatic vision for the future of our Trash the Dress sessions. I’m not sure how long our clients are going to keep asking for them, but with the insane amount of worldwide buzz going on, I dont see it stopping anytime soon, especially with the destination wedding environment. We have 25 TTD sessions booked this year! Look out for some more crazy video’s coming soon!
Cheers!

this is the coolest blog for creative wedding photography lighting. you deserve every article and feature you get! one question: do you think you’ll be switching to the radio popper from pw’s? The idea of super-fast sync speeds really makes me think of switching….
Thanks Nina, We love your photography!!!!!
Eric, I can promise you that I will be using Radiopoppers. I dont believe I’ll be “switching” though, more like using both systems. I’ve honestly got too much invested in the Manual flash system to just give it all away. I rarely ever sell my equipment too…so, I’ll be hangin on.
I do think that the RP system will be way more forgiving. Manual flash operation is very hard and it takes some serious pros to have the brass to use it. But the bottom line will be all about the photo that sells…
I say “use whatever works best for you”
I’m glad you are getting so much out of FF….
Cheers,
matt
Congratulations Matt & Sol!! You deserve the publicity - you are constantly challenging “us” to raise our game! I am so excited about how FLASH FLAVOR has made a difference in my portfolio!! Awesome article! Awesome work!
Matt and Sol! Congrats!!!!
Mel and I are very excited to not only see your article but our photo in it too! LOL! You two have really nailed the whole TTD thing down. I don’t really see TTD as a fad at all….amazing photographer like yourselves keep the interest alive! You have inspired me to shoot higher and everyone else who follows your work too.
I just wrote a little somethin’ somethin’ about it in my blog…
All the best!

I have a couple of 580EX2’s
This “Trash the Dress” is the coolest thing ever, and it is amazing to have the article on the magazine and it will help ALL the photographers that are down for some cool adventures, to get more brides open for this idea. , so Good luck for everybody, hope you get more TTD sessions booked!
Matt y Sol,
Where did you find this comment system? I would also to use it on my site.
I’m not sure where we found the comment system, I think it was available online in a wordpress list.
Thanks for giving a shout out on the blog!

Morgan, I can’t wait to meet you. I’d love to shoot with you!
