Learn at Lunch - Jay Kinghorn Webinars

Dear Fellow ASMP Members,

In response to numerous requests for Photoshop training, this month I am beginning a series of Intermediate/Advanced Photoshop Webinars, called Adobe Photoshop Power Lunch. These 60-minute workshops are aimed at helping photographers take advantage of many of the top production features in Photoshop. I am offering ASMP members a 15% discount on the webinars and would love for you to share this information with your chapter members.

I've established a link for ASMP members to receive the discounted price for the webinars at:

Italian Photojournalist Presents Workshop in Boulder

Massimo Bassano returns to Boulder this summer! Massimo is one of Italy's top photojournalists – he was just awarded first and second place for "Best Travel Cover," by the Italian Conference of Editors & Journalists. Massimo shares with us how photographers can capture that exceptional photo when they become part of the scene they are photographing rather than just watching them through a lens.

The first two days are for those who want more technical knowledge about their camera, software/computer and latest equipment. The following five-day workshop is "shooting on-site" in and around Boulder. Each day becomes a photographic adventure. Capturing the morning light and coolness of the day, we shoot together and independently. In the afternoons we gather for discussions, return to do more shooting and download or develop film overnight. Everyone will be able to sign up for a one-on-one session with Massimo.

Special Discount: Members of the American Society of Media Photographers receive a special 5% discount if you register by June 12th, and an additional 5% is you register for both sessions:

Dates:July 20-21
Technical Intensive
Costs: $395

July 22-26 Shoot/Critique
