In case you’re not familiar with the show—which is the event arm of Rangefinder—here’s the rundown: For five days each year, portrait and wedding photographers and videographers come together in Las Vegas to be inspired by top educators in the industry, as well as by their peers.

There are 65 Seminars and 55 Photo Walks on the agenda so attendees will have plenty to choose from in Portrait, Wedding, Lighting and Posing, Video, Inspirational, Post-Production and Business and Marketing.

“We also have a new class type called Photo Mastery,” Evans explains, “where 25 students per class (four classes total) will spend two hours either in the classroom or photographing, and another two hours taking what they learned in the classroom and head out on a photo walk or spend time in post-production with the images they took in the first two hours.”

WPPI 2023 takes place March 5-9 and combines exceptional programming with unforgettable networking and includes awe-inspiring seminars, hands-on sessions and exciting photo walks from the industry’s most rousing photographers and content creators. Register here for WPPI 2023 classes and speakers and much more!
