This is very important announcement regarding my workshop. Due to last minute scheduling conflict, the dates for the September workshop to Italy has been changed from 7-14 to 14-21. All the other details and the itinerary will remain the same. I have so many awesome details lined up for you - unlimited photo opportunities, wine tasting, cooking class, model shooting with a bride & groom inside a medieval castle, plus more! We will be exploring various cities hidden throughout Tuscany & Umbria region of Italy. Many consider this area the "hidden treasure" of Italy. This is something you have to experience for yourself - it will help your photography career tremendously. For more information, please visit my workshop website. Again the new dates are: September 14-21, 2009. For questions regarding this trip, feel free to contact me at any time: italytrip@kennykim.com.

UPDATE (6/1/2009): PICTAGE INTERVIEWS KENNY KIM ABOUT HIS WORKSHOP/TOUR TO ITALY

Thank you Elizabeth Villa & Pictage staff for taking time to interview about this amazing opportunity. Click on this link to read all about it: http://blog.pictage.com/?p=817

Back in April, I was little spoiled. I got to go back to Italy twice. Second time was to Venice Italy with the one and only Bob & Dawn Davis to shoot Salma Hayek's wedding. We arrived couple of days earlier so we had an extra day to explore Venice. I've been to this beautiful city about 5 years ago but back then I was not a photographer so I did not appreciate the surrounding as much as I did on this trip. We spent the day getting lost in the little streets of Venice checking out random shops, eating lots of gelatos, and just getting immersed in the Italian way of life.

We will not be visiting Venice during my workshop to Italy in September but I wanted to still share some of the images from this trip with you. By the way, the deadline for this workshop registration has been extended until July 14th. If you have been debating and needed more time, you can still save $200 until then deadline. Hurry before all the spots fill up! Here's a link for more information: http://store.kennykim.com/italy/

Update: Great news! The deadlne to the workshop has been extended to July 14th. You can still save $200 until all the spots are filled up. So hurry! :)

Here are few more set of images that you will get to see - just to wet your appetite. I'll post few more images in the next couple of days from my visit to Venice to shoot a wedding, as well as a quick pit stop to Madrid!

Are you excited? Andiamo! (Let's go!) :) http://store.kennykim.com/italy/

Took a drive over to Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame tonight with my friend Roberto Valenzuela this evening to pay a tribute to Michael Jackson. Lines were way too long to take a photo of the actual star. I would have waited but I have a wedding to shoot tomorrow. Took two images that captured the essence of the trip:

Farewell King of Pop. This world could not contain you. May your music live forever.

Rest in Peace: 1958 - 2009.

Back in May, I was interviewed by Scott Sheppard from Inside Digital Photo (insidedigitalphoto.com). My interview is the first half of the show (15 out of 30 minutes). We discussed various things relating to my beginning in photography, gear, philosophy, current economy state, marketing, my workshop to Italy, plus more. Thank you for the opprotunity Scott. I had a great time interviewing with you. Click on the player to listen to the interview:
