We are happy to announce Mike Kaplan’s presentation to our first meeting of the season!
Whether it is a shoot for Christian Dior Cosmetics, Fifth Third Bank, or a bird in mid-air, Mike Kaplan’s eye for lighting and composition is distinctive and compelling. Extensive training has made him an expert with off-camera flash. Equally at home on location or in the studio, Mike’s technical skills are exceeded only by his ability to interact with people. His 30 years of broadcasting experience have made him a consummate communicator – a key to evoking natural and often whimsical expressions from his portrait clients.
