INSPIRATION FOR OUR TRAINING MATERIALS
I feel an urge to blog about an email I received from a photographer friend of ours, Ben Pancoast, Photo Coach/Staff Photographer for Bella Pictures. He is extremely talented. Bob and Ben were in Virginia this weekend shooting a wedding. Bob called me and told me they were having a great time and told me about some of the fun shots they got. But it wasn't until I read Ben's email today did I get it.
THIS is why Bob and I are producing training videos for photographers to master their craft. Here's what Ben had to say about shooting with Bob this weekend... (I just thought it was so cute!!!). Thank you Ben! (email me your website info and I'll post a link for you!) If you would like to be notified when Bob's videos are available, please send us an email to bob@davisimpact.com.

"WHAT a weekend!!! It was my privilege and pleasure to have the chance to spend the weekend hanging out and shooting with Bob Davis in Virginia! It was not only a ton of fun but the most enlightening shoot I've ever been on.... (bad pun intended) =)
I really don't have anything to add to an "Off camera remote flash" sort of email because until this weekend I never understood how to do it. Bob changed that last night, he took the time to explain what he knows and how he does what he does in a way that I could understand and by the end of the night I was rockin the house with off camera strobes using Ratios and ETTL. If you had told me that I would "get it" by the end of the night I'd of laughed but Bob stuck with me and made it make sense!! It was like a 1:1 flash seminar with the master....I would have paid to go on that shoot with him! =)
Anyway I thought I'd share a couple images of Bob making the magic happen this weekend!! The first two images are long hand held exposures that I made of Bob working with his subjects and 580EX strobes. The third image....well let's just say now we all know how he gets his subjects to look sooooo comfortable in front of the camera. He'll do anything for a smile!
