The Gene Ho story begins as a young 22-year-old man who picked up a camera and fell in love with taking pictures.

The year was 1991 and it was way before the days of digital. At the time, there were few 22-year-old wedding photographers out there, but he became a success by marketing himself as “The Friend of the Bride.”

Gene created a makeshift marketing campaign where he billed himself as “cool” enough to be fun and creative and “mature” enough to get the job done.

Today Gene Ho Photography has 25 photographers that work in 8 different cities around the nation. His studio has photographed some of the nation’s top celebrities in sports, politics and the arts.

Gene has written two books sharing his knowledge of marketing for the Photographer: The Art of Marketing for Professional Photographers and The Wedding Photographer’s Handbook: a guide to modern wedding photography.

You can learn from Gene Ho at any of his three speaking times:

• Platform Class on Monday, February 21st at 8:00a-9:45a in Room 311
• Trade Show Program on Tuesday, February 22nd at 1:00p at booth #1509
