Trojanowski to “Shoot with Ron Chapple” (BRENTWOOD, Tennessee) —Dreamstime.com,
a global community-based stock photo agency and distinguished leader in
the industry, has announced the winner of its “Workshop” Program—“Shoot With Ron Chapple.” The winner of the first Dreamstime “Workshop” contest is Tomasz Trojanowski of Sosnowiec, Poland.
Trojanowski
joined the “Dream Team” as a contributing photographer in July 2004; he
has been an active member and contributor with uploads of 80 images per
month on average and an impressive portfolio of 3,700 images currently
online on Dreamstime.com.
Overall,
the Dreamstime “Workshop” Program is designed as both a contest and
learning opportunity dedicated to those photographers who have
demonstrated longevity and success as active and interactive Dreamstime
contributors and who have already achieved semi-professional or
professional status.
The focus of the current workshop (“Shoot With Ron Chapple”)
will be to learn the tricks of the trade from a veteran photographer.
Chapple (who has been shooting stock images for more than 20 years)
will share his expertise in the field with Trojanowski offering his
knowledge in traditional stock photography as well his guidance into
“creativity” that sells. The workshop will also cover lighting
secrets, shooting techniques in various challenging situations (still
life and night shooting) and how to work effectively with models.
“Congratulations to Tomasz! I look forward to working with him on location,” said Chapple. “His already excellent work will add another dimension as we shoot together for a few days in Maui,” he added. “Shooting stock is so much more than just great pictures. Stock is a business and a lifestyle."
Tomasz
competed against hundreds of eligible Dreamstime photographers
[Dreamstime has 25,000 contributors currently] in the three-month
contest to earn the right to join Ron Chapple in the extensive and
intensive three-day workshop and stock shoot sessions. To narrow down
the eligible contestants, photographers were selected based upon the
photographer’s history of successful “Assignment” participation and
submissions, correlated with total sales within their portfolio.
Trojanowski was selected based on his last three “Assignment”
submissions. The workshop is scheduled to take place in Maui, Hawaii
(Chapple’s headquarters). Dreamstime.com will pick up the tab for transportation, accommodations and meals for Mr. Trojanowski’s trip.
"To
be a strong contender in the 'Workshop' contest, I planned ten
different photo sessions to compete in 'The Assignment.’ It was a lot
of hard, detailed work, but well worth it," Tomasz Trojanowki said. “This
will be an experience of a lifetime--personally and professionally.
I'm thrilled and proud to be the recipient of this prize, but must
emphasize that the most important part of winning this is to have the
opportunity to work with Ron Chapple. This workshop will be a learning
lesson that will enable me to become a better photographer and I wish
to thank Dreamstime.com for making it possible."
