And good times were had by all.

Wanted to take a quick second of everyone’s time to thank Brad Peebler and Yazan Malkosh for a fantastic night of enlightenment and for showing us some of that MODO mojo. It continues to evolve by leaps and bounds and is such a cool app for so many reasons, and Brad Peebler is one of them. An industry veteran who’s been around since (seemingly) the dawn of time, Brad brings a wisdom to these presentations that is seldom eclipsed. They say the walls hear all – and the walls of the Newspace Center for Photography are still riddled with arrows. Arrows from a blind Ray Fairy. Hey, if you don’t know, I ain’t gonna tell ya. But let’s just say Brad leaves his mark.

Yazan Malkosh and SLIK

The ever-so-SLIK Yazan Malkosh

Yazan closed out the show with a demo of his Slik 2 kit of presets, scenes, items, and materials that help make MODO feel like a real photography studio. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to digitally lighting something as if it were on set – and Yazan you had us from the first click of your mouse, where you placed a reflection directly on the model without touching a light. Genius.

Big thanks to Gideon Klindt for scrambling and doing a lot of last minute planning and venue scouting once the event was greenlit.  Sponsorship from  The Foundry, 3DV and 52 Ltd was also very helpful in making this event a reality.

If you’ve not given MODO a spin, you owe it to yourself to check it out!
