To call Gary Fong a visionary would be an understatement. Photographer of unique personalities such as Sylvester Stallone, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Lee, Gary Fong went on to revolutionize the wedding photography industry using a technique he called ‘story-booking.’ No longer would wedding photography be the stagnant, boring pictures of posed couples they’ve always been, Fong retold the story of that magic day, using only photography as his device. Successful, but never satisfied, Fong sought to revolutionize the photographic equipment industry as well and introduced a flash diffuser system of his own design, quickly becoming the industry standard in portable flash diffusion. Now with the success of his memoirs ‘The Accidental Millionaire’ Gary Fong brings his wisdom, humour, and teachings to the Exposure stage in hopes that you will take away some inspiration and courage to push your ideas further than ever before.

A professional photographer, author, educator, and media personality, Erin Manning is what every student of the photographic art aspires to be; talented and successful.

Highly engaged and passionate about ‘all things photography,’ Erin’s friendly teaching style helps people comprehend the techniques of photography in a way that is advanced, yet easy to grasp. With her own branded Westcott lighting kit, and as the host of ‘The Whole Picture’ on DIY Network’s Telly Award-winning TV series, Erin is no stranger to an eager audience with a passion for photography. That is why we are delighted to announce Erin will be joining this year’s exciting roster of speakers at Exposure for her presentation on the Westcott Event Stage.
