A View from the Isle

I think you will excuse me a little me a bragging about the latest issue of FeedFront—Issue 3 : FeedFront—because the cover picture is one of my pictures from Affiliate Summit East from this past August. Well, that one and about a dozen other pictures I took from the conference scattered throughout the issue as well. Yes, Shawn and Missy hired me to take pictures for the conference, but it is one thing for the pictures to be good enough for online/Flickr, a whole other thing to be published.

This makes two covers and at least one picture in every issue of FeedFront thus far. Hmm, Issue 4 might be a tough one…

There is my bit of bragging for the day. I’ll go back to being just Tris now.

You can download the PDF version of FeedFront Issue 3 and check out all the pics.

After having such a blast a Affiliate Summit East this summer as their official photographer, I’m putting it out there that I’m available for hire to cover your conference as well.

I’ve put together a collection on Flickr of all my conference photography for the last couple years for you to look at and enjoy.

Of course there are always people taking pictures at events, but this is what you get when I’m on task for you:

• Complete coverage of the event start to finish
• All speakers, sessions, and panels (I’m not there to listen, I’m there to shoot for you)
• Pictures of the parties, breakout sessions, and candid pictures around the conference
• Promotion of the event (through pictures) on Twitter, etc.
• Guaranteed minimum number of usable photos
• Headshots of organizers and staff for social media avatars
• Pictures of all booths and exhibits on the show floor
• Retouching pictures before delivery
• DVD of RAW and high-resolution files suitable for publication

Telling the story of your event or conference in photos, photos that you can use and have publication rights to this is what I provide for you.

While I will certainly enjoy myself while at the conference, I’m there for you. My goal is to capture the moments of your event or conference to show the rest of the world what they missed and give attendees memories captured to enjoy later. I want to make sure I’ve captured what you think will be important, and a few things that you might have missed.

While conferences are covered almost continuously in pictures and video by attendees, they aren’t there to capture everything. Attendees might share their pictures with you, but there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to use the pictures in promotional materials or publications. When you have a dedicated photographer, you don’t have to worry about it. The pictures are being taken, and they are yours.

I am available for events ranging from partial day events (morning or evening) to multi-day conferences.

If you are interested in hiring me for your event, contact me and we can start the ball rolling. Email me at tris.hussey [at] gmail [dot] com for more information.

I’m so excited about this.  At Affiliate Summit West in Vegas last month I took a lot of pictures (Affiliate Summit set on Flickr) so as it was wrapping up I told Missy and Shawn that I’d be happy to be their official photographer for future summits.

Well as I say "luck favours the bold"–the hired me for Affiliate Summit Boston Aug 10-12!

I’ve told a lot of you already and Kris Krug gave me one of the best compliments I could get–that my pics were certainly good enough for that gig.  Wow.

I was practicing big time at SXSW (SXSWi 2008 Flickr set) and I’m pretty sure that I’m up for the challenge.  I’ve been working on my workflow and technique, still needs some work though.  I’m going to have to save up for an external flash, though.  The D80’s built in flash is great, but I think an external flash is going to take my photography to the next level.

Wow.  Who would have thought it …

P.S. Yes, I know the comments are broken here … I’m working on it.

From a Lifehacker post (old, but good) … I’ve found a way to put a slideshow here.  Since I’m doing more conference photography (more on that later) thought folks might like to see these here:
