Discovering Your Vision: An Evening with Mark Robert Halper March 19, 2009

---

In a market that is increasingly competitive, the only way to continue to command professional fees is by creating images that reflect the way in which you perceive the world. Halper believes exceptional photographers don't throw elements together and hope for the best, but instead systematically build images for their clients based on an understanding of what they find compelling in their subject matter. The Process of Intentis a step by step way to approach your photography that will guide you to creating images that meet the objectives of your client as unique products of your personal vision. Halper will take you through his process, and show you how to apply it to your own photography. Throughout the evening, Halper will also inspire you with short slide shows of his various assignments and projects.
Los Angeles based Mark Robert Halper is passionate about everything he does. A commercial photographer for two decades, Halper has built a successful career in a very competitive field by bringing a consistent vision to a very diverse client base. "I take out everything that isn't absolutely necessary, until the only elements that remain are those which are entirely essential; the best photographs are usually the simplest." Halper thrives on the variety in the projects he tackles.When not creating images of beautiful woman and titans of industry for some of the world's most respected business and publications, Halper moonlights as an international jewel thief and a spy.
