Heading to the Google+ Conference for Photographers
Man, have I picked up some Frequent Flyer miles in the past few weeks. As I write this, I’m on my delayed flight back from Norfolk, Virginia after speaking the ISAP aviation photographers’ conference (had a great time. Their association is so fantastic, I actually signed-up myself while I was there, and now I am
A Few of My Favorite Shots of Cathedrals in Paris
The shot above was taken inside the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. I had never been, and was really taken with the fact that it’s all stained glass (and tells a story, reading from left to right, bottom to top in each pane of the stained glass). While it’s looks really large here, I’ll bet it’s not

Back From a Week in Paris (and a new photo series emerges)
Wow, what a week! We shot three online classes (including “A Week in Paris with Jay Maisel” plus my on-location class on shooting travel photography, and a class on Lightroom/Photoshop for Travel Photography).

Bonjour! Sorry I haven’t been able to post more. We’ve been shooting from morning until late at night, literally non-stop on the go, and by the time we make it back to our rooms we’re just falling down beat. Here’s a quick shot taken during our shoot out at the palace of Versailles, hand-held with
Today’s 5-Minute Update From Paris
Belles femmes bonjour! [OK, I couldn't resist after my French mistake yesterday]. The crew is waiting for me in the hotel lobby, so I have to make this quick: (1) Thanks to everybody who sent questions via Twitter, G+ and Facebook yesterday for Jay during our taping. Lots of great questions, and I was rattling them
Greetings From the Streets of Paris!
Bonjour mon amie! :) Our crew landed here in Paris yesterday morning for our taping of a new class for Kelby Training Online called, “A Week in Paris with Jay Maisel.” Although we hadn’t planned on shooting on our first day, Jay was rev’d up and ready to go so we hit the streets of
The new issue of “Light It” magazine (our magazine for hot-shoe and studio photography” is finally (finally!) out
Man, publishing a digital magazine should just not be this hard. First, our developer came out with a bug fix update, but because of a small technicality in the submission process, it got turned down (uggh), but now, at last, finally it’s out, along with the latest issue (the cover is shown above). The bug
I’m on my way to France to film “A Day With Jay Maisel in Paris” for Kelby Training Online
Even though I just got back from London, I am not complaining about taking this trip! Besides filming what will be another amazing, eye-opening, inspiring day of learning with Jay, I’ll be taping two online classes myself while I’m there: (1) One on Shooting Travel Photography, and… (2) One called Photoshop for Travel Photographers (based

My buddy Matt Kloskowski just me this iPhone shot of my latest book which just arrived at the office yesterday (I was working at home, getting caught up for my trip), so that means it’s already on its way to bookstores. Really excited about this one! (I added lots of cool new stuff — more on that
Thank you London — What a Wonderful Way to Wrap Up My Live Tour!

It couldn’t have been a better crowd or location to wrap up my “Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it” live tour than what we had last week in London, England. What a great group of photographers — totally engaged, very responsive, lots of great questions, and some of
