Hanson’s photographic experience and educational credentials are unsurpassed. As an award winning photographer and instructor, Hanson is on the cutting edge of photography. His work sets the standard for photographers around the world.

Hanson regularly shares his techniques that apply to both fine art and classical photography. In his course “Fong Shui, Harmonizing the Fine Art of Posing and Lighting” he demonstrates the Classic 10 Poses that he pioneered, flow posing, body shifting and facial analysis. Complimented with his animated personality, attendees enjoy live shooting demonstrations, hands on posing techniques, as well as large screen projections of present and past work.

His work and talent are recognized throughout the United States, Asia, Canada, Mexico and Europe. His work has been displayed in the Hall of Fame, Epcot Center, and the ASP Traveling Loan. Hanson’s images have been seen in numerous publications including “American Photo,” “Bridal Guide,” “Popular Photography,” “Rangefnder,” “Studio Photography,” and “Professional Photographer.” The quality of his work is reflected in the aesthetic appeal found in each of his photographs.

Lunch

Lunch reservations are now closed. If you pre-ordered lunch, you will pay for it ($12) when you check in.

Casselman's is also allowing attendees to bring their own lunches if they choose to. It is highly recommended that you purchase lunch or bring your own because you do not want to be late for the start of the afternoon session, and there aren't any restaurants very close to the venue.

Parking

Parking is only available on the street. Last year, we hosted an event at Casselman's with 250 attendees, and there were no issues with parking. It is recommended that you arrive early if you want a good spot and to allow yourself enough time to check in, pay for lunch and find a seat.

This event is open to the public and is limited to 250 RSVPs. It is listed on the calendar for our Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo chapters. If you are a member of another photography group or organization, please help us spread the word by sending this information to anyone you think will be interested in attending.

A few local companies will have tables set up in the bar area. Those companies include Mike's Camera (http://www.mikescamera.com) and AdventureCam Photo (http://www.adventurecamphoto.com). Attendees will have the opportunity to visit with these vendors during breaks and lunch as well as before and after the program.

Refunds

Due to the amount of money it is costing to host this event, refunds will not be possible. There is a set cost to renting the venue, and CPLG may end up paying part of the bill if we do not get enough RSVPs to cover this amount. If you find that your plans change, you may transfer your RSVP to someone else or donate your spot to another person who would like to attend. It is your responsibility to change your RSVP if you cannot be there. You will have to notify us if you transfer your RSVP so we can keep track of our attendee list.

Volunteers

Volunteers will be needed to make name tags, confirm RSVPs and assist with check-in. A meeting either July 29th or 30th asking for help from volunteers.
