Century Market Fair At Ft. Frederick Maryland
"Colonel Washington's Frontier Forts Association" Century Market Fair at Fort Frederick Maryland.
Ines & I had the chance on Saturday (April 26th)to visit Ft. Frederick in Big Pool Maryland after our morning portrait sessions.We were invited by our good friends Art & Linda Winder with Shenandoah Carriage Company.
Art was camping there since Wednesday in authentic costume andgear for the colonial 1700's period. (Except for food, I saw there larder and itwas quite plush). Art was participating in an event called the Century MarketFair sponsored by the above association. There appeared to be 50 plussutlers with their tents and goods and you really felt like you had entered atime machine back to the colonial period and a trading camp on the frontier.
Each of the participants prided themselves on using materials that existed at that time period. We will definitely plan on attending again next year if our wedding schedule permits as this is a great opportunity for a fun yet educational day. It brings that period to life and has relevance for families and a wonderful photo opportunity for any photographer. Check out the association web-site for more information on future events and also don't forget to check out the Shenandoah Carriage Company website if you want a carriage for your own event.
This link is a slide show of a few of the images from that day.

We may be a bit hard to reach during the conference, but will be back up to speed Wednesday of next week. March 19th and hosting our open house on that Wednesday night.
This is our chance to recharge the creative juices, meet with friends from around the world and see if we can win some portrait awards again.

Bambi Cantrell Webinar
This evening we had the pleasure of attending Bambi Cantrell's first webinar. Sort of an experiment for her to reach out to those photographers she mentors.
Bambi is one of the original Microsoft Icon photographers and several years prior to this received accolades from the U.N. for her photography.
She is a great lady who stays on top of her game by anticipating trends in wedding and portrait photography.
Bambi has given us some ideas to refine and test this year. Our brides will benefit from more phenomenal bridal and groom portraits. Come and talk to us about your wedding with The Edge Photography.

4th Of July at Great Meadow, Warrenton Virginia
Ines & I had the privilege of providing Great Meadow professional photography services for the third year at one of the best celebrations in Northern Virginia.
For the third year the rain and storms also missed us and skirted to the north providing for a beautiful evening with new entertainment provided by the Flying Circus.
My associate David Kay and I captured some great images of the rockets, stunt planes, wing walkers, polo players, model planes, musical entertainment, and court jesters.
You can see more of the images at our on-line store. Just search for Great Meadow, no password is required to view the pictures.
Thanks to Elaine Burke and her staff for letting us share a Great 4th of July at Great Meadow north of Warrenton Virginia.

Meet Several of The Edge Photographic Team --BB & David Kay
People often ask how we select people to join our team of photographers and how do we know they are not only technically qualified but also people that they trust to share their special day.
It’s pretty simple. Over the years we’ve taught numerous photography classes and workshops for serious photo enthusiasts and also other aspiring and professional photographers.
This is a reliable pool of photographers for us. We know from the workshops that they are good photographers; we also know that they have the personality required for our kind of work. They are passionate about their art! When they first shoot events with us as third shooters they are not being taught photography, but instead style. We want brides to know the photographic style we display in our albums at the studio will be delivered consistently by all Edge team members. We show unique editorial style event photography. Clients tell us it’s “The Edge”
BB first attended our workshops 3 years ago. We quickly realized his skill and artistic eye, plus Ines knew this was a person we would love to work with. BB and I have been photographing weddings together for that time period and shared training with the famous Australian photographer David Williams and New York fashion photographer Richard Warren both here and in New York fashion studios. Last year BB became the leader of our second team so that we are able to photograph two weddings on popular wedding dates. We accomplished this task after spending 6 months training our new group of second shooters. He joins me on other dates so that we can collaborate and try new things with a solid base of coverage captured for our clients. Each of his brides raves about him; so much so that I could be jealous. Visit our studio to view BB’s latest work.
David Kay first started attending our workshops almost 3 years ago. David has not only attended our workshops but also those with Tony Sweet in the Poconos and Acadia National Park outside of Bar Harbor Maine. David recently attended a workshop with National Geographic photographer Bob Krist. He’s also had his work critiqued while attending workshops with wildlife photographer Adam Jones and Sierra Club photographer Brenda Tharp. Photographers Jim Zuckerman, Charlotte Lowrie and Ellen Anon round out some of David’s photographic mentors.
David was featured in the February issue of Elan magazine and his images also recently appeared in Shutterbug as well as many airline magazines. His work is also used for corporate publications such as annual reports, and educational textbooks. Internet sites also feature images from David Kay.
You can see more of David’s stock work at the Shutterstock.com and iStockphoto.com agencies. Finally I would be negligent if I failed to mention that David was ABC News “Person of the Week”.

Our Next Workshop at The Edge "A Return Engagement"
‘Almost Alone with David A Williams’
July 24th, 25th, and 26th. at Don & Ines Harper’s Studio – Leesburg VA
THREE DAYS OF PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT & EDUCATION FOR WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS.
That “Learning should be fun” is a fundamental part of David’s presentation. Come and share an experience that will make you smile and think! Topics to be covered include…(and, no – I don’t know what we’re doing and precisely when – whaddya wanna know for anyway?)
• Detail Miniatures – story-telling images, and portraits of environments.
• A renewed emphasis on freehand designing
• Existing Light as the primary light source
• Supplementary light sources “Love that mixed lighting”
• Doing more with less – learning to think differently.
• Creating a homage portrait – ( how I make my MasterWorks portraits)
• What makes Aussie photographers different and David’s deposing.
• Aussie weddings & my approaches.
• Aussie children & my approaches.
• Single light portraiture
• The horizontal and the using depth – using negative space.
• Visual communication.
• Immediacy and expression.
• Art and design influences – identifying the component construction of a style.
• Fine-quality inkjet printing & Digital hand printing.
• Digital practices for weddings – sorting & proofing
• Digital tools you really need – e.g. use and creation of actions.
*This lecture does not contain any information on becoming an overnight millionaire, selling $500,000K weddings, murdering your opposition, using five lights, selling enormous wall portraits to poor folks who don’t wanna buy, or buying products you don’t need – (but think you should have)……sorry.
**It does contain heaps of good, simple, applicable, wallet-friendly, BS-free ideas for you to study hard about, and perspiringly practice over, that will make you a better - more intuitive and involved photographer…..that I’m NOT sorry for.
# Special Evening Occasion:
We will recess for about 30 minutes after which I will be inviting you to join me in watching a fascinating art & photography related program which will last for about 80 minutes. The class may decide to do something as a group regarding dinner.
Each day will finish at 5.00pm. Lunch will be from 12.00 ‘til 1.00pm. Lunch is included. Coffee break – we’ll work out as we go along.
What do I bring?:
CAMERA STUFF:
Please bring a 35mm style slr – digital for preference, but film is perfectly acceptable. (We’ll be working mainly 400iso)
Your camera instruction book (Hey, I don’t know everything)
Lenses? The widest maximum aperture lenses you have….and not too many – preferably a 24-70 sorta-kinda lens. 50mm f1.8 or f1.4 lenses are most suitable.
A tripod or monopod
A flash
A reflector
Something for taking notes on – writing down stuff.
Your own pen X 4 (so you can loose the other 3)
A laptop computer if you have one with Photoshop installed.
OTHER STUFF:
I would invite you to bring samples of your work both portraits and weddings. You do not have to show others if you don’t want to. It’s a good idea to start preparing an easily transported collection of unmounted prints.
I would like you to start (if you haven’t already) a scrap book of people images that inspire you and bring that too. This I would like you to share with others. Show me what kind of pictures inspire you.
Even if you have a computer for taking notes, you may still find some kind of writing pad handy for sketching ideas.
I would definitely like you to bring your sense of humor, your compassion for others, and your understanding. This will be a group of very different levels of knowledge and experience. We will all learn and have fun doing it. It has been my personal experience that everyone has something to offer and much to learn. I learn something new every time I get together with other photographers.
PRACTICAL WORK:
We will be doing practical work where we will be shooting models supplied by the Magnusson family brood, and each other.
(It is not appropriate for you to use the images taken of either the supplied models or other attendees on your website, in competition, for studio display or for promotion of your business. The same goes for any images supplied for you to work on in Photoshop during the lecture.)
Not everyone will have a laptop and some assignments are deliberately designed for two people to work as a team. Your help and cooperation with your fellow attendees is appreciated.
MORE more STUFF:
Australian photographer David A Williams M.Photog. FRPS ALPE is a ‘photographer’s photographer’. His interests, concerns and passions revolve around how we make pictures, and how we involve ourselves in the whole Portrait and Wedding experience.
After being thrown into digital capture six years ago, David has embraced the process wholeheartedly. He brings to it much of the ‘film’ mentality we are all familiar with. As he says “My biggest desire is to ‘de-bulls***-ify digital’ – get us away from the nonsense, and back to using this fabulous tool – simply”.
Simple is an approach David embraces for all procedures. “It’s not about quoting pixel counts anymore than film is about grain size. It’s about the image.” He sees a return to the self-sufficient studio, only with no boundaries as to the products we can now produce.
Drawing influences from over twenty years involved in all sides of the industry, David’s approach is based on making the simplest of images special. Placing people casually, working quickly and efficiently, enhancing the photographer’s position within the wedding by simple acts of random kindness.
An acknowledged specialist with inkjet, all David’s Awards over the last five years have been won with superb prints made on the Epson 1290, a tool he considers essential for any studio. He has now been chosen to work closely with Epson and their Epson 4000 Professional printer.
Kodak Professional in Australia chose him as the mentor for the Kodak ‘Portra’ film range, and more recently Fuji Professional in Australia chose him to speak for the Fuji S2 and its capabilities for the wedding/portrait industry. Many superb images he created for both companies are etched in the memory of many photographers.
His desire to learn more about the Wedding experience led him to become an authority on Detail Miniatures and story-telling support pictures, their fundamental importance, and how they work in an album presentation – adding a richness so appealing to the customer.
David is very conscious of the influences of other art forms on photography as shown in his popular ‘MasterWorks’ images. He shows clearly and concisely how a broader study base can equip photographers with better understanding of image making.
Having said that, David takes his work very seriously – but not himself. That learning should be fun is a fundamental part of any presentation by David. Audiences in America, UK, Australia, India, Thailand and New Zealand have all shared in the experience that makes photographers do two of the most important things in David’s eyes…..smile and think.
What people have been paid to say about me:
‘Refreshing, innovative, creative, funny – all come to mind when thinking about his seminar. I came away with more ideas from one two hour program than any of the other full-day sessions. Definitely well worth seeing’.
Mike Roper – Ballymoney IR
I attended the David Williams Seminar in Las Vegas: his combination of philosophy and PR is unique, quote (from Arnold Newman): ‘We don’t take pictures with cameras – we take them with our hearts and minds’ Whatever it takes to get him over here, do it.’
Steve Pugh – Sevenoaks UK
A seminar for Gold fish, I sat open mouthed all of the seminar at the brilliance and simplicity of the photography and the fistful of ideas from posing to photoshop techniques. Even the God Monte has people walk out mid-lecture; not David Williams. Sharp Aussie humour to boot.’
Steve Tarling – Needham Market UK
David Williams is a remarkable mix of the old and the new. His intense, detailed portraits reveal influences from Rennaissance Art and classic studio lighting, yet he mixes them with a deft understanding of current photography techniques - film, digital capture, inkjet output. Not only is David a highly accomplished photographer, by positioning himself as an international speaker he has a broad perspective on the professional photography industry, a leader for the profession as it comes to grips with the new digital world.
Peter Eastway - Publisher, Better Photography Magazine 1996 & 1998 AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year
There are two sides to David Williams—the artist who is capable of evoking the full gamut of emotions from his portraits of everyday people, and the artist/teacher, who can talk and write about contemporary portraiture as an art form with clarity and authenticity. Both sides of him are equally enjoyable but I find myself getting excited to see how he has yet again reinvented his creative side to be on the cutting edge of contemporary portraiture, yet never straying too far from the classical techniques, of which he is fond.
Bill Hurter - EditorRangefinder & Focus On Imaging Magazines
"His lectures, talks and workshops are legendary here in New Zealand. We love him and his "down to earth" manner of handling digital, and image-making. His work speaks for the lad himself - it is rich, eclectic, unique and humorous."
Simon Hoyle, CPA. Canada (but Kiwi entrenched in Days Bay, Wellington, NZ.)
David Williams is a photographer's photographer - he is a second generation pro with skills, abilities and wisdom that has a way of connecting with everyone. His seminars and workshops are crammed with leading edge techniques and insights into what successful industry practitioners need know now. As a presenter David Williams mixes his lecture delivery with humor which lubricates the take-up rate of information for attendees."

Even if you have a computer for taking notes, you may still find some kind of writing pad handy for sketching ideas.
I would definitely like you to bring your sense of humor, your compassion for others, and your understanding. This will be a group of very different levels of knowledge and experience. We will all learn and have fun doing it. It has been my personal experience that everyone has something to offer and much to learn. I learn something new every time I get together with other photographers.
PRACTICAL WORK:
We will be doing practical work where we will be shooting models supplied by the Magnusson family brood, and each other.
(It is not appropriate for you to use the images taken of either the supplied models or other attendees on your website, in competition, for studio display or for promotion of your business. The same goes for any images supplied for you to work on in Photoshop during the lecture.)
Not everyone will have a laptop and some assignments are deliberately designed for two people to work as a team. Your help and cooperation with your fellow attendees is appreciated.
MORE more STUFF:
Australian photographer David A Williams M.Photog. FRPS ALPE is a ‘photographer’s photographer’. His interests, concerns and passions revolve around how we make pictures, and how we involve ourselves in the whole Portrait and Wedding experience.
After being thrown into digital capture six years ago, David has embraced the process wholeheartedly. He brings to it much of the ‘film’ mentality we are all familiar with. As he says “My biggest desire is to ‘de-bulls***-ify digital’ – get us away from the nonsense, and back to using this fabulous tool – simply”.
Simple is an approach David embraces for all procedures. “It’s not about quoting pixel counts anymore than film is about grain size. It’s about the image.” He sees a return to the self-sufficient studio, only with no boundaries as to the products we can now produce.
Drawing influences from over twenty years involved in all sides of the industry, David’s approach is based on making the simplest of images special. Placing people casually, working quickly and efficiently, enhancing the photographer’s position within the wedding by simple acts of random kindness.
An acknowledged specialist with inkjet, all David’s Awards over the last five years have been won with superb prints made on the Epson 1290, a tool he considers essential for any studio. He has now been chosen to work closely with Epson and their Epson 4000 Professional printer.
Kodak Professional in Australia chose him as the mentor for the Kodak ‘Portra’ film range, and more recently Fuji Professional in Australia chose him to speak for the Fuji S2 and its capabilities for the wedding/portrait industry. Many superb images he created for both companies are etched in the memory of many photographers.
His desire to learn more about the Wedding experience led him to become an authority on Detail Miniatures and story-telling support pictures, their fundamental importance, and how they work in an album presentation – adding a richness so appealing to the customer.
David is very conscious of the influences of other art forms on photography as shown in his popular ‘MasterWorks’ images. He shows clearly and concisely how a broader study base can equip photographers with better understanding of image making.
Having said that, David takes his work very seriously – but not himself. That learning should be fun is a fundamental part of any presentation by David. Audiences in America, UK, Australia, India, Thailand and New Zealand have all shared in the experience that makes photographers do two of the most important things in David’s eyes…..smile and think.
What people have been paid to say about me:
‘Refreshing, innovative, creative, funny – all come to mind when thinking about his seminar. I came away with more ideas from one two hour program than any of the other full-day sessions. Definitely well worth seeing’.
Mike Roper – Ballymoney IR
I attended the David Williams Seminar in Las Vegas: his combination of philosophy and PR is unique, quote (from Arnold Newman): ‘We don’t take pictures with cameras – we take them with our hearts and minds’ Whatever it takes to get him over here, do it.’
Steve Pugh – Sevenoaks UK
A seminar for Gold fish, I sat open mouthed all of the seminar at the brilliance and simplicity of the photography and the fistful of ideas from posing to photoshop techniques. Even the God Monte has people walk out mid-lecture; not David Williams. Sharp Aussie humour to boot.’
Steve Tarling – Needham Market UK
David Williams is a remarkable mix of the old and the new. His intense, detailed portraits reveal influences from Rennaissance Art and classic studio lighting, yet he mixes them with a deft understanding of current photography techniques - film, digital capture, inkjet output. Not only is David a highly accomplished photographer, by positioning himself as an international speaker he has a broad perspective on the professional photography industry, a leader for the profession as it comes to grips with the new digital world.
Peter Eastway - Publisher, Better Photography Magazine 1996 & 1998 AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year
There are two sides to David Williams—the artist who is capable of evoking the full gamut of emotions from his portraits of everyday people, and the artist/teacher, who can talk and write about contemporary portraiture as an art form with clarity and authenticity. Both sides of him are equally enjoyable but I find myself getting excited to see how he has yet again reinvented his creative side to be on the cutting edge of contemporary portraiture, yet never straying too far from the classical techniques, of which he is fond.
Bill Hurter - EditorRangefinder & Focus On Imaging Magazines
"His lectures, talks and workshops are legendary here in New Zealand. We love him and his "down to earth" manner of handling digital, and image-making. His work speaks for the lad himself - it is rich, eclectic, unique and humorous."
Simon Hoyle, CPA. Canada (but Kiwi entrenched in Days Bay, Wellington, NZ.)
David Williams is a photographer's photographer - he is a second generation pro with skills, abilities and wisdom that has a way of connecting with everyone. His seminars and workshops are crammed with leading edge techniques and insights into what successful industry practitioners need know now. As a presenter David Williams mixes his lecture delivery with humor which lubricates the take-up rate of information for attendees."

Stringfellow Farm once again separates brides from their money
Stringfellow Farm in Round Hill or Middleburg Virginia has declared bankruptcy and once again left brides without their retainers, or a venue for their special day.
In fact some brides also hired Mick Mallon as their photographer “An Artful Eye” and have lost that money.
The Edge Photography Studio is a member of Hunt Country Celebrations that has almost 50 members in Loudoun & Fauquier County with a reputation for delivering all the services you need for your event. Please contact us if you are scrambling to put your wedding or other event together and we will work to find people you can trust for any service you might need.
Also check out the HCC website at:

Bridal & Valentine Boudoir Photography at The Edge
You’ve spent time getting in shape for that wedding so flaunt it. Create those sensuous images that can be a special gift for your future husband.
Boudoir photography isn’t about nudity, it’s about what’s hidden, and it’s about imagination.
Don & Ines are a husband and wife team who will put you at ease and create artistic images that evoke emotion, and document the beauty of both you and your fashionable lingerie.
This is your chance to capture a romantic image that reflects your personality.
For some women it may be a high-key softly lit image in lingerie and for others something more playful and country like jeans and your guy’s shirt. Other women want to create a fantasy image suggesting mystery and seduction. Perhaps a Venetian mask. Let you imagination run wild, have fun and you will have a little black book of images that you both will treasure for a lifetime.
Visit the “For His Eyes Only” gallery on our website for a few samples of what stepping over The Edge means.
For His Eyes Only is also a perfect gift at Valentines, Christmas, or New Years.

Richard Warren Fashion Photographer Workshop
Richard Warren, Fashion Photographer
‘Two Intense Days with Richard Warren’
November 5th & 6th at The Edge Photography Studio – Leesburg VA
TWO DAYS OF PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Edge Photography Studio promotes Editorial Style wedding photography and portraits with an edge. We are talking about story telling, fashion, emotion, and a combination of PJ style images blended with quickly posed strong images worthy of a top fashion magazine.
It’s about impact!
You are probably wondering why you would be interested in attending a workshop with a fashion photographer when you shoot weddings or portraits. Looking at Richard Warren’s website and you will quickly see the answers. Richard is a master of lighting, posing, colors with impact, but most important, each of his assignments tells a story. There is a theme perfectly executed from beginning to end. Think about how you can apply those skills to your work with brides including the increasingly popular “For His Eyes Only” boudoir sessions.
How to make that bridal portrait a fashion statement.
• Fashion photography
• Lighting on studio and location
• Portfolio Critiques
• Supplementary light sources
• How to direct and pose your models, (you will be working with models)
• Visual communication.
• Boudoir Sessions.
• Art and fashion influences, where It’s going and why you care.
• Digital tools Richard likes and how he uses them.
This workshop doesn’t promise to make you a top New York fashion photographer published in Elle and Vogue etc. You won’t find an opinionated, self-obsessed NY photographer telling you how great he is and why the world should worship him. You won’t find a workshop that’s intent to sell you a whole lot more of instructional books, videotapes, CD’s, DVD’s or “if you pay me more I will share that secret with you in my next workshop”.
You will find good solid instruction by a top fashion photographer who has survived in a very tough business by being a grounded good person who knows and loves his craft. Richard is obsessive about style, perfection in posing and lighting and freely shares that information in a non-threatening style. You will have fun because you will be working with a top photographer who loves his work.
The price for this workshop is $395.00 and $95.00 will save your place in the workshop.
Important note regarding times:
We will start at 9:00am each morning and finish at 5:00pm.
Each day will finish at 5.00pm. Lunch is included and will be from 12.00 ‘til 1.00pm.
What to bring:
CAMERA STUFF:
Please bring a 35mm style SLR – digital or film.
Your camera instruction book (Hey, we don’t know everything)
Lenses? The widest maximum aperture lenses you have from wide to medium telephoto.
Note taking materials including pens.
Even if you have a computer for taking notes, you may still find some kind of writing pad handy for sketching ideas.
We invite you to bring samples of your work both portraits and weddings. You do not have to show others if you don’t want to. It’s a good idea to start preparing an easily transported collection of prints.
**Please remember, you - and you alone are totally responsible for the safety of your gear during this seminar. Neither The Edge Photography nor our instructors will take any responsibility for any gear lost, damaged or not returned**
PRACTICAL WORK:
We will be doing practical work where we will be shooting models supplied by The Edge Photography Studio.
It is not appropriate for you to use the images taken of either the supplied models or other attendees on your website, in competition, for studio display or for promotion of your business. The same goes for any images supplied for you to work on in Photoshop during the lecture.
