Please bear with me

I just spent most of last week in Brussels for business. Now that I am back, I have barely had time to get anything done as work is in frenzy mode pretty much non-stop these days. So before I disappear again, I have a few things I’d like to share with you:

1- It is winter (in case you haven’t noticed), though a mild one I have to say, so I would like to remind you that I have a couple of posts to help with technical and inspirational issues for winter shooting. Check them out for a quick refresher on winter shooting: Click on the links to Part I and Part II.

2- I have had some pretty amazing experience with the Acratech folks dealing with their GP ballhead, I will be telling you all about it pretty soon, so please check back (I would say next Monday at the latest).

3- If you haven’t done so, please take a look at David DuChemin’s series of ebooks,  in a word: outstanding. Whether you are a noob or a seasoned vet, there is bits of info for all of you. The guy is an amazing photographer, teacher and writer, I highly recommend his stuff.

4- I am finalising details for an upcoming trip to Morocco to scout locations for a photo tour in the spring of 2011. Now I am not planning to give a full out workshop this year, but I have spotted some amazing locations. If anyone is interested in coming along for the ride, I am considering opening one or two spots for this year’s trip for a unique individualised experience. Please contact me if you are interested.

5- Last but not least, I will be shortly releasing some limited edition products featuring a few select images from my collection, stay tuned for some details coming very very soon in a theater (well, a computer) near you!

Scrambled – Thank you for your patience

If you have been reading my blog over the last little while, you have probably noticed a few issues with the images not loading properly, or not at all…I have been the unfortunate victim of a hacker that has made a mess of my website and my web designer and myself are working hard to identify and hopefully fix this problem as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I would like to thank you for your continued support and patience through this “inconvenient” episode.

Cheers,

Younes

Workshop, a success

My fall colour workshop took place on this past week-end and great fun was had by all (well at least so they say). While my participants are still trying to recover from the beating I laid on them this week-end (wake up at 4am, back at home at 9-10 pm each day), I figured I’d post a picture I took last night on the final shoot, just before we packed and left. I am also still too dazed to tell you about it all, so more to come very shortly (well, “very” is VERY relative here…). Again, a huge thank you to all of you who have made this workshop an awesome and memorable experience for me. Also a big thank you to Jenn for coming down from her far-flung far far away land to help with the organisation, the logistics and the moral support!

Just one more note, I have created a flickr group for my workshop participants (recent, and less recent) to post their favorite shots from the workshops. I will be offering critiques and advice on these photographs as well. Check it out here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/yb_workshops/.

See ya!

Help Portrait

Today, I’d like to bring attention to a beautiful initiative called Help Portrait

On December 12th photographers (at all levels) in cities across the globe are reaching out to people in their communities to create portraits.Help-Portrait is a movement among photographers doing portraits of people that aren’t able to afford traditional avenues of family portraiture. This could be single mothers, orphans, the lonely, the sick, people in Develping Countries, your Neighbor, the homeless. The time to help is now. “Grab your camera. Go Love.”

Here’s a brief list of volunteers we will need on December 12th:

* Photographers
* Assistants
* Hair and Make-Up Artists
* Post-processing
* Greeters
* Coordinators
* And more…

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this simple volunteer form or contact Jean Labelle at 

Cheers.
