This year we had the pleasure of exhibiting at Professional Photographer of America‘s Imaging USA held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. Not only did we host photo walk’s each day of the Expo featuring some of our amazing BUFF Ambassadors, we also debuted the LINK800WS flash unit. Each day, two different photographers hosted workshop sessions that lasted approximately one hour. Each photo walk focused mainly on mixing ambient light with strobes using the LINK (and it’s battery powered awesomeness) and the 24″ Silver Foldable Beauty Dish. We had the opportunity to work with seven very talented photographers (Jeff Carpenter, Tausha Dickinson, Lindsey and Jamie Boler, Tatan Zuleta, Kira Derryberry, Audra Oden) and two very talented models (Tayler Byrd and Rollson Royce). Over 50 individuals participated in the photo walks and had the chance to not only learn from the guest photographers, but be some of the first to put the power of the LINK to great use.
Below is a re-cap video from the expo and final photos from the Ambassadors and the participants!
