Keynote: Imitate, Emulate or Innovate

In a world where a new photographer seems to emerge onto the scene every hour, it can sometimes prove difficult to be one of the leaders in your market. Jerry Ghionis, one of the top experts in the field, shares how he has defined his own unique style and look over the years, which continues to evolve but doesn’t become predictable. Ghionis will explain how he uses inspiration outside the wedding industry to influence his creativity and style. This not to be missed event will leave photographers motivated, helping to breathe new life into their photography and business.
