Jeremy Cowart

Today a first, meaning I normally don’t do this, but who knows….
After I joined KelbyTraining a lot of things have changed for me, being part of the “dream team” PhotoShopWorld instructor team also means that you get to hang out with some of the best photographers in the world. My first PSW (both terrifying and exhilarating) was also the first time I met Jeremy, he had a defective MBP and because we both shared the same stage I offered him to use mine and we got talking, soon the help portrait movement was brought up and I was asked to do something in the Netherlands (which I did and it has been one of the most rewarding things I ever did, mentally).

My first impression of Jeremy was that he was a real person, not someone who just “plays” the part and thinks something else. During that PSW I also got one of his “LifeFinder DVDs” a DVD I highly recommend. It’s not a DVD that is 100% aimed at the technical part of photography but more on the creative part and the way to build a good portfolio with images that are different and will let you stand out. Normally I always feel the need to fast forward instructional DVDs and videos because I’m always in a hurry and I don’t have the “rest” to watch something from beginning to end, exceptions are for example the great videos on KelbyTraining with Jay Maisel and……. the LifeFinder DVD so make sure to check it out. Don’t get me wrong by the way, I watch a lot of the stuff on KelbyTraining and I love it, but I will often divide it into “watching sessions” when I watch more than an hour in one sit it’s really special 😀

 

So why a blogpost about Jeremy out of the blue….?
Well it’s not really out of the blue.
First off all we are starting up Help Portrait in the Netherlands again in the coming days with our first meeting, if you want to join make sure to visit www.help-portret.nl for the Netherlands and www.help-portrait.com for abroad. I tell you right away it’s the best thing you can do, trust me.

 

But also because last week I got a link with a video that shows you a side of Jeremy that you might not know.

And finally because Jeremy is doing an interesting tour at the moment that you might wanna visit (I would advise you to do so :D), see more information here : http://jeremycowart.com/2012/04/lifefinder-tour-revamped/

A stand up and wonderfully giving kind of guy. He had everyone in the audience including himself with out dry eyes and needing tissue at PSW in DC when showing images and talking about his his volunteer work!
