The Business Side of Zack Arias: Becoming a Successful Commercial Photographer
KelbyTraining.com's own Larry Becker is joined by Zack Arias, an editorial and commercial photographer based in Atlanta, for an honest and insightful discussion of Zack's path to becoming a professional photographer. Zack offers candid and real-world wisdom on topics ranging from getting started to finding the right people to help your business grow, and from striving to achieve that mythical work/family balance to his thoughts on gear, post-production and file delivery. Zack's ability to learn from his mistakes and harness his determination to succeed in a life behind the camera is an inspiration for anyone in the business of photography.

The Grid with Lindsay Adler
If you missed yesterday’s episode of The Grid, make sure you check it out as soon as it’s available today! Lindsay Adler joined Scott and Matt for an episode of blind critiques, and she rocked it! The focus of the critiques was on fashion, beauty, and portrait photography, and Lindsay gave some great feedback and tips for better posing, composition, and ideas for more interesting images. It’ll be up on YouTube and Kelby TV later today, so keep an eye out for it!
The 48 Shot Wedding with Mark Cleghorn
In this Manfrotto School of Xcellence webinar, Mark Cleghorn discusses his wedding photography, using a combination of images as well as 1 wedding to explain his 48 shot technique. Having been a wedding photographer for over 30 years but still loving everyone he shoots, Mark strives to add a bit of difference as well as a storytelling element to each wedding day. His 48 shot technique allows any photographer to cover a wedding in a realistic time period without the stress and time pressures. Mark also talks lighting, posing and album design.
It all happens this morning at 11am ET, so click right here to register!

Loved “The Grid” last night with Lindsay, (Scott, I’m not a native speaker and I can spell Lindsay, I think Canadian customs had a reason to have you there after all). Fantastic critique and awesome, awesome insight into her photography and composition. I knew her work but I’ve actually ordered a couple of her books straight after the show.
