We had SUCH a wonderful time in Madrid last week! While it was only the first leg in many adventures to follow, it was a big one for sure. Foro de Fotografos are a group of people that despite the language barrier, make you feel so very welcome. From the seventy year old woman who was a firecracker of a gal, to the many friends we make in our workshop and our speaking presentation, and then Rudy – the one to whom we owe the honor – each person we met was so darn friendly and thrilled with the concept of boudoir.
We spoke for 3 hours, which besides a workshop is quite a record for us, but get us on the subject of boudoir and you will have to pull us of the stage with a hook. The new experience of having our audience wear headphones while listening to a translator was a newbie of many newbies this week. Boredom in our lives seems a rare thing, and we love that!
Thank you to Julietta our translator whose brain was so far next level that it make me really want to go back to school to freshen up my recall skills. Holy crap lady.
Oh and for our workshop attendees, you wanted to see what the dark underexposed (purposely) photo would look like. Here ya go…
Although we were working most of the time in Madrid, we DID get out to explore the city one day. It is a really cool city, and we especially enjoyed spending the afternoon at Retiro Park – and then that night we got to see a really amazing flamenco show too. We really enjoyed being in Spain, and can’t wait to go back. Thank you again to all of the wonderful photographer friends that we met in Madrid. We really had a wonderful time with you all, and hope to see you again soon! Until next time, besos y abrasos! -K & M
OH – also, we wanted to let you know that a LOT of your email addresses ‘bounced back’ to us when we were sending out invoices for the digital version of the Posebook. So, if you would like to purchase that still, here is the link for that: thedivasblog.com/madrid/ Simply fill out your info, and purchase it through Paypal – and we will email the digital version to you asap. Thanks!
Wow, this has been a WHIRLWIND couple of weeks! After my wedding & honeymoon, Marissa & I traveled to Madrid, Spain, to be a part of the Foro De Fotografos annual convention. It was AMAZING – we had such a wonderful time! (More on that to come soon, we are hoping to blog some pics later this week).
Currently we are in Venice, and I can’t BELIEVE how beautiful it is in this city! We’ll be here for a few days, and then we’re heading up to Maniago for the Graphistudio event! We are THRILLED that we have been invited to be a part of GraphiStudio‘s Accademia – a full-day event with a star-studded lineup of speakers, including Yervant, Jim Garner, Bob & Dawn Davis, and MORE! Can’t wait to meet everyone who will be attending! Click here for more info!
***EDIT: We also just found out that this program will be streamed LIVE!!! Which means you can watch us at about 10:15am pacific standard time on Saturday morning! Click here to watch!
Our program description: “Boudoir Posing & The Supermodel Experience”… The Boudoir Divas will share how they have created their unique Supermodel Experience that brings people flying to their studio from all over the world. They will also share how they created a marketing and branding strategy that brings them 500 boudoir shoots per year and how they sell their top products including high-end books. The information they will share will be helpful even to photographers who do not intend to shoot boudoir.
That’s right – we are going to Spain & Italy!!!!! We’ll be traveling, speaking, and teaching for the next 10 days, so please be patient with us (we might not check email very often!) Thank you! Looking forward to meeting some amazing photographers in Spain and Italy! xoxo, K & M
Hmmm… and since we’re leaving tomorrow, maybe I should start packing. Ok, gotta go! Have a wonderful rest of the week. We’ll try to blog at least once while we’re on our trip!
We cannot WAIT to come to Spain in October! We are incredibly honored to have been asked to join with many amazing photographers for the Foro de Fotografos convention in Madrid, October 30-Nov. 2! Some names you might recognize, like Yervant… Jim Garner… David Beckstead… Bob & Dawn Davis… and more! Sheesh, we are so blown away at the opportunity that WE have been chosen to travel around the world and share our boudoir photography speaking programs with photographers in Spain. We’ll be giving a full-day program on the 30th, and then a platform program on the 31st. I (Kimberlee) spent a month in Madrid back in college, so I’m thrilled to have a chance to go back and explore! You better believe we will be updating about our trip on our Boudoir Divas Twitter account, and also on our official Boudoir Divas Facebook page, and possibly even here on the blog… so tune in!
