PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION
Parish will take you on a journey, exploring his diverse and striking body of work, composed of his award-winning commercial assignments, stunning painterly-style portraits, landscapes and his fine art imagery. For Parish, the heart and soul of his photography is that of an artist and what inspires and motivates his creative process is the focus of what he will share with you during his presentation.
Embracing the trends of our technological advancements and change, Parish will show you his experimental videos that resulted in new assignments. He also will be discussing the importance of proper composition, unconventional lighting, techniques for creating dynamic visual impact and getting the most naturally posed portraits. Throughout his presentation, he will point out and share some simple and fresh techniques and tips on how to make your pictures stand out from the crowd. He will take you behind the scenes of some of his major assignments and discuss his approach and methodology for making any assignment or shot a success.

His presentations are educational, as well as inspirational with a focus on finding the beauty that surrounds us in our own environment and having the vision to expand one's personal horizons. He will give you unparalleled access, revealing his production methods for his most unique and up-coming book “Luminosa” with Cirque du Soleil’s extraordinary performers, which has taken five years to complete. These one-of-a kind shots are taken at 1/5000 sec., hence the “frozen moments” of their spectacular performances.
