Hi Samuel,

I think everyone can relate to this. The most difficult part of most projects is finishing them. My mentor and master thesis advisor, Bill Jay, used to say that the most important part of any project was finishing it and getting it out to the world. But that can be hard! If you are a wedding photographer, you know the editing and adjusting, and delivery is the part you have to buckle down to get it done. If you make books of your work, the proofreading and the final editing is the thing that seems to take forever. If you are a video maker, oh boy! That is tough...

Well, I have finished a project that I started over 13 months ago. It is a workshop in connection with The Profoto Academy. This is a very special workshop, like no other! Early in 2019, I was planning for a wedding I had been hired to photograph on Harbor Island in the Bahamas, and the more I discussed the wedding with the client, the more I knew it would be the perfect scenario for teaching the fundamentals of wedding photography. In fact, the groom''s father was the biggest advocate for using the wedding to teach lighting and photography. So, I talked to the clients and to the folks at Profoto and we came up with the plan.

We brought a film crew with us to the Bahamas to take behind-the-scenes footage of me and my team photographing a real wedding, with real clients and the real challenges that come with a wedding (any wedding). This wedding happened to be in The Bahamas, but it included so many different scenarios (from dark churches to bright sunny beaches) that the educational potential was off the charts.

The wedding happened in May of 2019. It was a week-long job and we made over 13,000 photographs and the video crew came home with multiple terabytes of video footage. After taking care of our clients and releasing the wedding to them, we started pouring through a week of video footage. Then, from my studio, I filmed hours and hours of lessons using the images and video footage from the wedding and detailed schematics to teach the fundamentals of wedding photography.

The COVID 19 pandemic and subsequent world-wide shutdowns happened in March when we were already into the final days of filming the in-studio lessons. Then came the subsequent days of editing and fine-tuning the project, but as I have already mentioned, it''s the finishing stages that are the most arduous. So during the shutdowns of COVID 19, my video editor Matt Madrid and I were as busy as we have ever been editing and fine-tuning this wonderful photography course. And now, a year after it all began, it is LIVE and ready to view on the Profoto Academy.

About the Full Profoto Workshop:

The Fundamentals of Wedding Photography

The Fundamentals of Wedding Photography is a 10-hour video course with detailed, behind the scenes footage from a real destination wedding in the Bahamas, but the course applies to any wedding, anywhere. It contains lessons on location scouting, packing, and preparation, practicing, lighting, portraits, group portraits, reception photography, on and off-camera lighting, natural lighting, and even has direct advice for second shooters and assistants. I filmed this workshop with an attention to the principles of photography and lighting so it doesn''t matter what cameras or lighting equipment you use, you will learn a great deal. Even if you don''t shoot weddings (or you just photograph a few a year) the lessons you learn in this workshop will be invaluable to almost any kind of photography that includes people.

The beauty of this course is that it is not a fashion shoot, it is not a fake wedding with models or a fake wedding with real clients. I never talk to the camera during the wedding, there are no pauses, no re-do situations. This is the real thing! A real wedding where things can go wrong, the bride can change her mind and throw me a curveball (which she does) and you get to see how I deal with each scenario with a play by play analysis from my studio after the wedding. This is where I describe exactly what I was thinking and how I got the shot, and all the while you get to see the behind the scenes footage and lighting schematics and detailed instruction on the theories and methods I am using. It''s the best of all possible worlds and it makes for an incredible learning experience.

The course includes:

• 10 Hours of Simple to Understand, Practical Photography Lessons
• Lighting Schematics and PDF Downloads
• Profoto Certification
• Personal Feedback on Your Photography from Profoto

Unsubscribe vs. Right to be Forgotten

If you have ever purchased any products from me in the past, and you still want to be removed from my email list, that is just fine! But when you click on the "unsubscribe" link below, DO NOT choose the "Forget" option unless you really mean it! That option forces me to delete all information about you on my system, which means any products you have ever purchased form me will no longer be available to you because we will have wiped our systems clean of any hint of a record of you. It''s totally your choice, but if you want to stop receiving emails, the normal unsubscribe is the way to go. The "forget me" nonsense means I can never see anything you have purchased or downloaded so if you wanted to access your products, I couldn''t help you do that ever again...

If you can think of a friend who needs this information, please forward this email to them. If you received this email from a friend and wish to join the workshop, click through to the lesson landing page and sign up to receive the rest of the lessons in your email inbox.

Dear Samuel,

I am cleaning house on my email newsletter because I am about to do something big and I only want my emails going out to those who really want to participate! I am a big believer in choice and transparency in all things! So this is your chance to choose.

What am I doing? All I can say is that it will be all about photography (and video) and it will be entertaining, educational and useful. So if you have enjoyed my educational material in the past and/or you love photography, you will want to say YES. If you are not interested, no problem, just click the red button below and I''ll stop sending emails to you.

Oh, if you don''t answer either YES or NO, I will assume it is a NO. So... if you don''t choose, you are still making a choice.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

WHY DID YOU GET AN EMAIL FROM ME? JARED PLATT

I know it can be confusing. We all get too many emails. If you don''t know how you signed up for my email newsletter, you probably did so to get a set of free Lightroom Presets or to get a free educational series on getting the "perfect exposure". You might have signed up at one of my lectures or while you were watching CreativeLive, or a lecture at B&H Photo. I send out PHOTOGRAPHY related emails. That is what you will continue to get if you click the GREEN button above. If you don''t want me to email you... great, just click the RED button; done!

That''s it. Easy as it comes. Make your choice. Are you IN or are you OUT? Of course, if you opt-in and I don''t send you great emails, you can always opt out later too. But I need to know if you are IN for now. I do hope you are IN! I am looking forward to the second half of this year.

Most Sincerely,

Jared Platt

**Important Information about unsubscribing PLEASE READ: if you choose to use the small unsubscribe link below and choose the "erase my data" option, rather than the beautiful RED button, you will be completely deleted from the system as will all records of any purchase or download you have made in the past. This means you will never be able to download your purchased products again. I will no longer have record of your purchases. The BIG RED UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON will stop all emails in a less destructive way.

If you choose to unsubscribe, with the smaller link at the very bottom, please make sure you back up any products you purchased or downloaded in the past from www.jaredplatt.com. I won''t have record of your purchase anymore, so I will be unable to help you find them again.

Nevertheless, it is completely your choice...

Click the RED BUTTON: you stop receiving emails but you can still access old products.

Click the Small Unsubscribe link: you stop getting emails, we forget you completely, including your purchases you have made in the past.

Hi Samuel,

Because you have been following me online or have watched one of my courses, or purchased a photo product from me, you probably have figured out that I am a wedding/portrait/lifestyle photographer (and a teacher of photography). I recently finished filming a workshop for Profoto on their Profoto Academy called The Fundamentals of Wedding Photography. In connection with that, I have written an article for their "Profoto stories" page. I thought you might be interested in it.

The article is called "10 tips on how to become a successful wedding photographer" I don''t know why everyone likes the ''10 tips'', ''10 best'', ''10 reasons'' kind of article, but forgive the use of the convention. And it really doesn''t matter if you are a wedding photographer or not. The advice is useful to any kind of photographer, so consider it more of a list of tips on getting nailing the shot... whatever that shot may be. I hope a few of these tips will be helpful to you. Click on the link below to read the article on the Profoto Blog.
