Adobe and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals Sponsor KelbyTraining LIVE Seminar Tours

Tampa, FL – May 27, 2009 – Today, KelbyTraining LIVE announced their newest digital photography seminar tour, Location Lighting Techniques for Photographers, featuring bestselling author and internationally acclaimed American photographer Joe McNally.

“Joe is the teacher who totally ignited my passion for location and off-camera flash, and I’ve learned more from him than anyone. I’ve never met anyone who makes it ‘stick’ like Joe. He’s an amazing teacher, and you’re going to have a career changing day with him—guaranteed”, said Scott Kelby, editor-in-chief of Photoshop User and Layers magazines, and president of KelbyTraining LIVE.

The Location Lighting Techniques for Photographers seminar begins its nationwide tour in San Francisco at the South San Francisco Conference Center on Friday, July 31. Other U.S. tour stops include Washington DC, Los Angeles, and New York City, with more cities coming in 2009.

Location Lighting Techniques for Photographers offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the most talented, engaging and creative photographers and educators working today. Attendees will learn the step-by-step process of going from bad to good light with just one flash, then working your way up to two or more flashes. McNally will take you through a variety of lighting set ups with live demonstrations and you'll see first-hand how improving your lighting techniques takes your photography to a new level.

A full day of training is only $99 ($79 for NAPP members), and includes many bonus materials. For more information about other seminar tours and for cities and dates visit KelbyTraining LIVE at www.kelbytraininglive.com.
