INSPIRATIONAL
HEADLINER PROGRAM FOR IMAGING USA
WAS A PERFECT CHOICE
It’s a nearly everyday occurrence that we hear moans and groans from professional photographers about how the digital revolution and what we called The Professional Photographer’s Perfect Storm has negatively affected their business. Even some of the newer photographers are complaining business is tough. PPA picked the perfect person, Amy Purdy, as the headliner program for IMAGING USA to provide a highly inspirational presentation.
Imagine being a 19 year old woman and coming down with what you thought was the flu, being rushed to the hospital and learning later that you had only a 1% chance of recovery and that you had both legs amputated below the knee and then later learning that you were going to lose both kidneys and needed a transplant. Such a realization would be life shattering to most people but Amy made the decision to deal with the set back and go forward as best she could. Most of America now knows that Amy was able to return to competitive snowboarding, and was the second place finisher on Dancing With The Stars, and has become a highly sought after inspirational speaker in America and beyond. Even though she was ill with a bad cold for her Imaging presentation, Amy delivered a phenomenal program.
We all can take note that even when things seem dismal, it all is relative and fortunately there is a bright positive and profitable future for professional photographers who chart their course to effectively deal with the post digital revolution by concentrating on promoting and providing photographic services that amateurs and many other professionals cannot offer. It is just a matter of adapting to current conditions and working to overcome the obstacles. The adoption of virtual projected backgrounds is one of the most powerful technologies that enables the professional to chart a new and profitable course for their business. The Backgrounder newsletter frequently features photographers who are highly successful even in the age of smart phones, DIY and hundreds of thousands of new start up professionals. One just has to take a “smarter” approach to reach the goal.

VIRTUAL BACKGROUNDS LOSES A SUPERSTAR
When Stanley Burgin of Mansfield England first heard about the existence of virtual backgrounds he knew he just had to have it for his studio. He contacted Peter Stanhope, the dealer for Virtual Backgrounds in England and Western Europe. He got one of the earliest models and soon sent us some sample images that were absolutely phenomenal. Stanley was not just a professional photographer. He was also a true creative artist and he used his Scene Machine to produce outstanding images. It quickly became a fundamental tool in his studio. He was the first and perhaps the only photographer to earn the Master of Photography in England submitting only images created with the Scene Machine. He earned many other awards with his virtual background system. VB has displayed Stanley’s images at many trade shows and in our demonstration studio in San Marcos Texas.
Stanley eventually retired his first Scene Machine and purchased a new model with a larger screen. Even after he retired, he installed a studio in a small building in his back yard and continued using his Scene Machine. When Henry and Marian Oles and their granddaughter Madison Newton visited him a few years ago he enthusiastically photographed Madison with his Scene Machine and even talked about ordering a digital system even though he was in his 80s. He already was quite proficient with his digital DSLR. Until the end, Stanley created timeless images.
Stanley Burgin will be truly missed but like any great artist, his images will live on.
