After Dark Education is an Experience! It’s neither a “conference” nor a “workshop”; it’s the best of BOTH worlds. Get the intimacy of the small group interaction you’d find at a workshop AND the multitude of topics, class opportunities, and educators (the mentors) you’d find at a conference. The “UN-conference” as described by some, After Dark Education focuses on helping you to build a strong, stable, business foundation along with pushing creativity and craftsmanship to create a unique top-quality product for your clients.

During After Dark Events, a range of genres are covered, from Maternity/Newborn to Children & Families, High School Seniors, and Commercial & High Fashion. Top mentors in both business and hands on photography are available to work hand-in-hand to answer questions, share techniques, and create & inspire. This is Goal Orientated Education; define what needs to be learned then come find the answers. It’s a 72-hour high-energy get your hands dirty photography lifestyle.

After Dark Dallas as many who attended have said, “ It was the best AD ever!” Each show we have strived to create an experience of sharing, friendship and expectations of being exceptional. If you are attending other events in the industry and not walking away feeling your life has been improved you need to be asking why you are not attending After Dark.

The Ad Staff, the assistance and the Mentors all clicked showing that the After Dark concept has arrived. AD Dallas was Exceptional. Where else can you go where two mentors are working with each other while six other mentors are watching with the other attending. One thing that makes the mentors at After Dark exceptional is that there are there to learn as much as they are to teach. There is a mutual respect for everyone involved.

Viviana Peralta (from Bogotá’, Columbia) has become an After Dark Addict. She has described it as good as anyone I know. If you do not understand the value of After Dark you may want to check out the thoughts of someone who travels from another country to attend AD: Viviana’s thought’s http://www.facebook.com/notes/vivian...tif_t=note_tag

Thanks again everyone, It is a great feeling to know AD is making such an impact on so many lives in such a positive way,

Play hard, Dave

I was fortunate to attend my first After Dark in Cincinnati last year and will be attending AD Charlotte. It is the best photographic training/experience you will have and it definitely will not be the last AD you attend. Just plan on very little sleep. It is hard to put into words what AD is like, you have to experience it first hand and then you will understand.

Just sharing form a dance company doing Pinocchio this week end..

That is amazing work

Lance Taylor came up with the idea we should share what AD is all about by sharing "behind the scene shots" and pullback shots of what happens at AD. Killer idea! I ask you to share not only your "behind the scene" images but also favorite stories. Please upload at:
Form

Thanks everyone. We need to share what AD is all about so we can make sure we continue to get the registration numbers we need to make sure AD continues to grow. Thanks!

I am always saying how one should get involved with their schools/ community.....this is just an example....and also, because I have been giving over the years to a local high school choir....They are paying my way to go document them sing in Vienna and Prauge in two weeks...
the story:


I am hanging around last thursday having an afternoon Dr. Peppere when Renee Feldhausen Buchholz ( teacher/ dance guru at DCE) stops by and thinks we should create a video for this contest. Own The Prom Night With Lady A! | Lady Antebellum . I get all excited and suggest to the Kids that it should be about getting Lady A to go to Henryville, IN ( 45 Pictures Of The Henryville, Indiana Tornado Destruction ) instead of their now school....They are all over it...Anyone complaining about kids and schools today need to get out and see what is really happening....This is what we came up with...

We are looking forward to this happening all the time in Charlotte. Many of the mentors have started working with each other demonstrating different approaches to the same challenge...It is a tremendous way to learn.

We may think the high school students today are self-involved and care only about themselves. I had the privilege to work with juniors from DC Everest, a local high school in a project that defines “Pay it forward”. Lady antebellum has a contest that they would show up and play at the high school that created the best video showing school spirit and the theme “ Own the night”. The DC Everest students decided instead of trying to get Lady Antebellum to their own high school, they would campaign for Lady A to play at Henryville High School in Indiana that was recently destroyed by a tornado. (Their video is one of Lady A’s top ten favs!)

Along with the video the students have started a fundraiser to help the school out. For $5 you can send a Happy thought to the kids in Henryville and help them have a better day

After Dark first time mentor Richard Sturdevant’s fluid combination of photography with fine art skills stems from his original artistic roots. Prior to becoming a photographer, Richard made his living as a classic and award-winning artist and also was a national art instructor and a published subject matter expert. Using airbrush and oil, his unique but photorealistic style made for a natural transition to photography. Today his passion for painting comes alive in his creations of photographic art.

After Dark has been a great adventure for everyone and we thank the mentors, the partners and everyone involved for helping create a pretty cool experience. We are going on 11 events, which is pretty wild in itself with the excitement and experience getting better at every show. After Dark needs your help. After Dark has never made a profit from any of the events to date and owe a huge thank you to the bald guys, the management team and the make up team for contributing so much for expenses only!

We only need to get another 40 people at each show to be able to show the After Dark support team the gratitude they deserve.

We ask that you help us spread the word and convince those that have been on the fence that After Dark is the best photography education event in the industry. So join us in our excitement and let people know what AD is really all about…

After dark thanks you. Play hard…Dave
