Bonjour! Brad Moore here with the latest news and updates, live from Paris (well, as live as you can get on a non-live blog anyway)… :-)

KelbyTraining.com
Right on the heels of last week’s new class, What’s New in Photoshop CS6, we just added a slew of new Photoshop CS6 classes from RC Concepcion, Corey Barker, and Pete Collins! These guys go into detail on the latest improvements on Design Features, HDR, Video, 3D, and more.
Not only that, but the highly anticipated debut of Lindsay Adler’s class, Fashion Flair Photography is now available as well! Join Lindsay on location and in the studio to see her unique take on classic stories with a twist of fashion and glamour.
Check out these classes and more at KelbyTraining.com
WELD
If you’re in the Dallas area, you absolutely have to check out the launch of an awesome new photo studio, WELD. They’re having a launch party tomorrow night, May 11, from 8-11pm, where you can tour the space and enjoy free pizza and drinks!
WELD isn’t just a normal photo studio. It’s a community of photographers who share a space for meetings, work, and photo shoots rather than working alone in an expensive, lonely space. It’s the brainchild of our buddy Austin Mann, who gave us a preview of the space when we were in Dallas for the Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It seminar, and we were blown away!
So, make sure you swing by Friday night for some free food, network with other photographers, and see if the WELD community is something you’d like to be a part of!
Crush The Composition DVD
We’re currently in Paris filming Scott’s upcoming Travel Photography class for Kelby Training, and man is it going to rock! He’s even said that he’s just as excited (if not more so) about this class as his Crush The Composition class. So, why not give away a couple copies of the DVD?
Leave a comment for your chance to win one of two copies of Scott’s Crush The Composition DVD!
Heck, Why Not?
Let’s give away a couple more of those A Day With Jay Maisel DVDs while we’re at it. You know what to do!

I love Jay Maisel’s work. After the Another Day with Jay Maisel installment on Kelby Training I went out to do some street photography using all that I’d learned from the video. I even found Mr. Maisel’s studio in NYC and took a photo (from the outside) and felt a great sense of pride in what I was doing for the remainder of the day and every day afterwards. Thanks for imparting such wonderful tips on photography and people.
Composition DVD: what a great chance to pick up some tips.

Crush the Composition was one of the most outstanding classes on KT. Some of the stuff we naturally do, if just without thinking, but Scott put it all together, simple to understand, hard to forget (now). Should make a 100% improvement in most people’s photography.
