Announcing the new Advanced Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD
In 2006 I released the first Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD. Today, 7 years later, I am getting ready to release the new Advanced Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD.

It is called advanced because the contents of this new Seminar goes way beyond the contents of the first one. It is also up to date with today’s economy. I published the first Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD in 2006. That’s 7 years ago and a huge amount of time in the world of marketing. A lot of things happened in those 7 years. The most significant is that. . . click here to continue reading.

Each time I visit Bosque del Apache I set it as a goal to take photographs without any birds. This was the first photograph I took that morning. When I created it I believed it would be the best image for that morning and it turned out to be so. . . click here to read the rest of this essay.

The 2013 Fine Art Summit is being officially announced today. This is the 11th Summit and it takes place in Page, Arizona, home of Antelope Canyon, the Horseshoe Bend and many other world class locations. Our Guest Speaker is Jeff Schewe. We will be focusing the tutorials on image processing and on Printing. We will have an Epson Printer and a selection of printing papers at the Summit. The field workshops are to Navajoland, including Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and many other top locations.

This super exciting schedule, combined with the fantastic locations we will be photographing, means this event will sell out quickly. Last year, for the Zion Summit, the Summit + Field workshop combination sold out in a matter of days. Don't let this one pass you by. Register ASAP. If you need time to check your schedule email us and we'll hold a seat for you for a couple days. Click here to visit the Summit Page with all the goodies and details of this unique event.

I wanted to give you feedback for the Layers Mastery DVD.

Most striking was the way your images came across through the videos.

I was able to follow the optimization, look at them for a long time, and see the final glow of a masterfile. Subjects like black point, RUSM, and selective color took several videos for me to grasps.

Because you do them several different ways and for several different reason it required 10-20 photos for me to fully understand their goal. I was glad you explained it with so much depth.

I am most interested in your comments on selective color and color theory. I was glad you went into detail on the dvd. I was inspired to continue learning this topic. I was also able to dramatically improve the quality of my prints which is what I wanted to get out of the dvd. I did several before and after prints.

Recent Testimonials:

I'm working my way through the DVD--just finished half of it--and had to tell you how delighted I am with it. I relate to your practical and aesthetic approach so completely!

It's helped me with my understanding already, and your delightful accent is an added bonus. The illustration are great and a huge help. Thanks for this!

I am enjoying the new layers DVD very much . I think this is a fabulous product and the information is very valuable. For me, perhaps the most valuable part is the discussions of the master files.

Mike
Layers Mastery Workshop on DVD owner




Thank you very much for putting so much of your knowledge into a form
that we can all learn from.

Your Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD has not only taught me a lot about marketing,
it has also inspired me to try even harder to sell my work.

I am excited about holding my own exhibits in the near future!

Peter Ahrens, Australia



Of all the photography workshops and classes I've attended, the Route 66 experience opened the door to unexpected forms of creativity.  

I am very happy with the images I produced on that trip.  In fact, I ended up with more interesting images from that workshop than from any other.  

Thanks again!

Joel Geffen



I am still on a high from my wonderful time with both of you. 
It was very, very special to be with you in the Navajo country.

Ginny, Colorado

Summit 2010 and Vision Field Workshop participant



I am about half way through your new book and very impressed. 
You have done a great job with it and I am finding the concepts very helpful.
Thank you for writing such a great book.  I am really enjoying it. 
Your photo of the stars rotating around Polaris is wonderful.

Doug,

The Layers Mastery Workshop on DVD has helped me excel my work in a way that no other book,
tutorial (NAPP member) or seminar has. Your down-to-earth teaching style and your willingness
to share your techniques is unmatched in this business.

Thank you Sincerely

David Wolfe




Marketing Fine Art Photography is The Best photography business book
I have EVER read!

I'll make this short: if you are a student, an emerging or a professional photographer just wanting to improve your bottom line, read this book. The author is personable and helpful and the text is enjoyable.

Although I do not envision selling my work anytime in the near future I bought Marketing Fine Art Photography figuring there would be some useful info that I could apply in the workplace somehow (personal brand, etc).

I have so far read Part 1 & Part 2 (Chapters 1-8) and I can say that the book is more than I expected (not that I have low expectations for any book from Alain based on all the previous ones).

I found that these first 8 chapters contain much information that causes me to think differently about my work and artistry in general and gives me energy to do some different things in the future. Good stuff Alain!
