Spencer Lum is no stranger to Tiffinbox, as he was the 2nd Annual Tiffinbox Award winner. As the principal photographer at 5 West Studios, a Brooklyn, NY based wedding photography business and the blogger behind Ground Glass, Lum is a highly sought after speaker and presenter. He will be at forthcoming Inspire Photo Retreats, in Portland, Maine from February 9 – 11th, 2015.

We sat down to chat about his 2014 presentation (which I missed!) and then explored what he will be speaking about at the 2015 event.

If you are still on the fence, please take a look at all the speakers who will be coming to Portland. I believe speakers like Ashley & Rich and others have one mission: to inspire you to do your best work in the near year. Everybody needs that kind of motivation year-in-and-year-out. If you agree, I expect to see you at Inspire Photo Retreats in 2015! Register today.

Next up in the Inspire Interviews series is Arielle Doneson, a film and digital hybrid shooter sought after worldwide for her luminous fine art approach to weddings. Come back and check it out or subscribe to TiffinboxTV.

I hope all of you have checked out the first episode, where I interviewed New England photographers, Doug Levy. Starting this month and running through October, I'll be posting short interviews I've conducted in partnership with Inspire Photo Retreats. The interviews will be of each of the presenters and some sponsors, to get a better idea of who they are and why they feel attending Inspire Photo Retreats is important to them.

Ok, so for this episode, I spoke with Jane Ammon, a child photographer who serves clients in central New Jersey and part of Pennsylvania. She will be presenting at Inspire Photo Retreats, from February 9-11th, 2015, in Portland, Maine.

When we spoke, I asked Jane about one aspect of her future presentation; why it was important for her to submit a proposal and finally what drew her to Inspire Photo Retreats.

Here are some of Jane Ammon's wonderful portraits of children:
