May 5, 2005 -- Sinar Bron Imaging is pleased to announce their 2005 schedule of Professional Photography Seminars. Building on the highly successful series of 2004 featuring Urs Recher,
the 2005 series will feature one day seminars by Sarah Silver and Mr. Recher.
The series will be held in various locations across the United States and will concentrate on such topics as how to use movement as a creative fashion tool, lighting techniques for
creative movement, the benefits of shooting fashion digitally and practical creative studio lighting techniques for still life and people. These will be "hands-on" seminars and each
attendee will have the opportunity for attendees to shoot their own pictures.
Attendees can sign up by calling Sinar Bron Imaging at 800/456-0203 or by visiting www.SinarBron.com
About Sarah Silver
After completing her first degree from Vassar College, Sarah Silver found that her true calling was to combine both of her passions: photography and movement. She applied for graduate
studies in photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
While finishing her Master's Degree in Photography, Sarah was chosen to shoot for Surface Magazine's Avant Guardian issue. Using dancers as models in high fashion, Sarah's style gelled.
Next, Sarah shot her graduate thesis, two fashion stories, using the modern dance group Stephen Petronio Dance in clothing by Prada and Imitation of Christ. These photographs have since
appeared in several magazines.
It was while Sarah was planning her thesis that she recognized the importance of technology in her work. She adopted a completely digital workflow in 2001 and has been shooting with a
Sinar digital back ever since. For Sarah, shooting digital eliminated the uncertainty factor in movement shooting. This digital element in her work has also helped her to form
relationships with Sinar and Broncolor, as well as other top manufacturers.
Sarah's clients include L'Oreal, Maybelline, Neiman Marcus, and Nokia. Her work has been featured around the world in Elle, Vogue, The New York Times, Harpers and Cosmo.
