  About Your Speaker

  John Gaudette

  
  

  I began my photographic career in high school as a yearbook photographer. Bringing my skills to the University of South Florida, I became the personal photographer for the vice president of student affairs, photographing all student activities as well as developing a slide presentation for incoming freshman orientation. I took a hiatus for several years to begin a family. In 1993 Photo Concepts was formed, specializing in group, event and youth sports, the company soon became one of the largest of its type in Central Florida. I was named one of the top ten photographers in Central Florida 5 years in a row. While building Photo Concepts I was enhancing his stock and travel photography. During this time I was fortunate enough to study under Galen Rowell, which helped de ne my vision. When digital capture was in its early years, I jumped aboard learning the skills necessary to make the conversion to the new media. Being proficient in Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, and Illustrator, have allowed me to utilize technology to create images that are out of the ordinary.  

  Using my photography and computer skills I am able to combine photography and design skills to create  packaging and marketing pieces for small and medium sized companies that can’t afford an in-house  design group. 

   Selling Photo Concepts and starting Northwest Photographix, was done so I could relocate my business to the Pacific Northwest. Having moved to Portland, Oregon in August of 2009, I have brought these unique skills to Oregon.

  
  

  Please join us on October 11th at 6:30pm for social time, before we get started at 7pm for what is sure to be a great presentation!

  BLAM Retouching

  with Rosalind Gruder

  Date: Sunday, February 04, 2024
  Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM PST
  Location: VIRTUAL
  

  "What happens after the capture? Have you figured out a workflow that keeps your edits organized and easy to find? Have you refined your editing style to create the look that you want? Do you even know what you want?

  I've spent countless hours figuring out the optimal way to set up my Photoshop workspace for fast and easy editing. I've created a workflow that progresses logically and systematically so you aren't repeating steps. I will give you all my workflow notes ahead of time so that you can get your workspace set up before the workshop.

  On workshop day, I'll give you my own SOOC captures and we will work through the editing process I use to create my B.L.A.M.!!™ (Breathtaking Luminous Artistic Masterpieces)."

  Read the PPA Magazine article about Rosalind here!

  Rosalind Guder is an internationally award-winning celebrity & portrait photographer and educator in Los Angeles. A native of Toronto, she began in the fashion world designing for Maggie Reeves, where she also happened upon (and then promptly forgot) the bespoke portrait photography of Yousuf Karsh. From there, she transitioned into the corporate world until she moved to Los Angeles in 1999. In 2013, Rosalind received her first camera and began to study photography on her own. In late 2019, she studied with Master Photographer Erich Caparas and began her professional photography career, winning some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including ASP’s Images of Distinction and Diamond Medalist Photographer of the Year at PPA. In 2020, she joined forces with For the Stars, the celebrated Hollywood fashion house with a 36-year pedigree of creating haute couture gowns and costumes for top performing artists, models and celebrities throughout the world. With this new partnership, Rosalind comes full circle, combining high-end fashion with bespoke photography, giving her clients access to an archive of one-of-a-kind, avant-garde wardrobe for their own masterpiece portraits.

  Rosalind is a member of World Photographic Cup - Team USA. She is a Certified Professional Photographer and holds five Masters degrees, including M. Photog. and Cr. Photog. degrees from Professional Photographers of America and an MPP in Fine Art Portraits from Master Photographers International. She teaches portrait photography and advanced Photoshop.
