As photographers we just love to photograph pretty faces. Pretty faces is just what we will have @ The Portfolio+Workshop in Miami next month on October,14 @ The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.  If you're a photographer starting off and are wondering what it takes to get those clients, what clients want to see when it comes to cool album design, & what it takes to get those high end weddings...this is where you want to be !! Believe it or not, first impressions are everything. So, if your work is not " sick looking " sorry to say the guy/gal before you or after you is getting that job. Join Kenny Kim - Ray Santana - and one of California's top photographers [b]ecker @ The Portfolio+Workshop . We have a bunch of the coolest sponsors like [b]school, prophotohub, pixel 2 canvas, album crafters, bludomain, photographers edit, jerry ghionis, totally rad, and triple scoop music. One of our great sponsors Bludomain is giving away a seat & airline ticket.  Wow, that is so cool !! They are a class act... Swing by their site and enter to win...goodtimes.

Ray, Wow. It has been a while. I forgot how much your work inspires me to tune my craft. Amazing as always. Plus I missed reading "Goodtimes". Haa!! The little girl and the father daughter dance... it brings out emotion and you can see what she is thinking. Awesome.
