I am extremely fortunate and honored to be joining the KelbyTraining.com team as an instructor. Scott has pulled together a great group of creative professionals, and they do amazing work -- and even better, they are a really generous and fun group of folks.

Scott's blog is part of my daily reading. His new online magazine, "Light It" is another gift to the photo community.

The first of the five classes I've done with KelbyTraining.com will be available Monday, February 20. The course, "Environmental Sports Portraiture" will cover everything from gear to lighting set ups.

The trailer for the course is available now. Check it out:
