It’s “A Bunch of Stuff” Friday (and I made the Top 10. Woot!)
Hi Gang: Not really one big topic today, but here’s a bunch of quick stuff that’s going on:
A big thanks to the readers of Shutter magazine, who named me as one the Top 10 Most Influential in the Industry (I came in at #6). I am very grateful to everyone who voted for me, and to Shutter who did a feature on each of the top 10, and I included some caps of their article about me below (here’s the link to the article in Shutter, where you can read the interview and see all the winners, which included my buddy Joe McNally).
“10 Tips for Creating a Successful Portfolio”
Cliff Mautner (named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World” by American Photo magazine) was our in-studio guest this week on “The Grid” (our free weekly show for photographers) and this episode is getting a lot of buzz. Our Topic was “10 Tips for Creating a Successful Portfolio” and Cliff was the perfect guest because of his insights into the world of wedding photography. Great episode and if you missed it, you can watch it right below.
The US Navy retweeted my Carrier Shot blog post
When I saw this on Twitter:

I was so excited, and so honored, and just totally psyched!!!! Whoo Hooo!!!!
The Evolution of an On-Location Portrait Session
Our good friend Rick Sammon has a wonderful post today over on his blog called “The Evolution of an On-Location Portrait Session.” The images and behind-the-scenes stuff are terrific, and there are some real learning moments. Also, if you’re already a Kelby Training Online subscriber, make sure you check out Rick’s online classes (they have been really rockin’!). Anyway, if you’ve got a sec, check out Rick’s post right here: http://bit.ly/14BTX67

Big shout out to “Weekly Photo Tips” for their in-depth review of our magazine for photographers using hot shoe flash and studio lighting: “Light It Magazine” for iPad (above).
My favorite line from the review? It’s where they said:
“If I could only have one photography publication, it would be Light It, hands down.” Woot!!! :)
