Main Speaker
Gene Worsley from MPIX
Outstanding photographs begin with outstanding images. Gene Worsley of Mpix.com, will be sharing numerous approaches to create outstanding images. The evening’s talk will begin with the most critical step in creating a photograph, capturing a great image. Gene will demonstrate several techniques and tools to capture both a well exposed, and a properly white balanced image.
Next, our focus will shift from image capture to the importance of a calibrated and profiled monitor. As images are adjusted and fine-tuned, a calibrated monitor is imperative to achieving outstanding images. During the discussion, the process of calibrating and profiling a monitor will be demonstrated with X-Rite’s ColorMunki Display colorimeter and software.
Gene Worsley has been in the photographic industry with Miller’s Professional Imaging, parent company of Mpix.com, for over twenty-five years. During this time he has served successfully in a variety of management positions. Currently, Gene is the administrator and instructor for the Miller’s Online Training Center, an interactive educational resource for professional photographers.
