The cover and inside spread of the latest Cabela’s Women’s Fall 2009 Catalog features my images. We shot Kam on the beautiful Strang Ranch in my hometown of Carbondale.

I am honored to be teaching two seminars at the 2009 Photo Plus Expo on October 22-24 in New York City. My first talk is “Shooting Stock: Creating Exceptional Work & Making Your Ideas Profitable” on Oct. 22 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., and is sponsored by Canon. The lecture will cover my proven methods for getting world-class shots while traveling light and using relatively basic lighting setups. The second seminar is “Real World Lighting, Real Results: Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 & Photoshop CS4 for Exceptional Travel and Outdoor Photography” on Oct. 23 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., and is sponsored by Adobe. Here I will share my Adobe workflow and processing secrets for outdoor sports, portraiture and travel images, especially when working with variable natural light. I hope to see you at these seminars!

You can also catch me speaking at the Canon booth during the convention, where I will be presenting some of my latest multimedia and photojournalism work with the 5D Mark II cameras, as well as teaching Speedlite seminars; please check back for a schedule — I’ll post one as soon as it’s available. Thank-you to PDN for using my motorcycling image (above) in their campaign to advertise the expo!

My image is featured on the cover of Cabela’s Fall 2009 Catalog. Clad in Under Armour camo, the model Will Lamont is a hunter from my hometown of Carbondale, Colorado.

I was honored to have this image win an award in the August issue of Photo District News magazine’s annual “The Great Outdoors” contest. The photo of Will Rutledge on his custom bike was shot in Utah’s Canyonlands during a multimedia campaign for Canon’s 5D Mark II camera.

***The Canon Photography Workshop on September 26-27 has currently sold out. Please check back for more information on my upcoming workshops and events.

I’m excited to announce I will be teaching another Canon weekend photo workshop for photographers of all levels on September 26-27 in Aspen at the Aspen Square Hotel. The aspen trees will be blazing yellow and orange, and the first snows usually dust the mountain tops — it is the most beautiful time of year here. The workshop will focus on the art of landscapes and outdoor portraiture at the Maroon Bells and Independence Pass, along with personalized classroom instruction. Canon staff will provide free gear demos of their latest camera bodies, lenses and speedlites. Please call the studio with questions, 970-963-2462. Space is limited so please register soon. I look forward to working with you!

Cabela’s Summer 2009 Workwear Catalog this month features my cover shot of Carbondale rancher Tai Jacober, as well as many inside shots. Tai is one of Carbondale’s real-deal locals who sells delicious grass-fed beef through his business Crystal River Beef. Many thanks to Bruce Brosnan, Brandon Beck and Andy Sircy at Cabela’s for their art direction.

A few shots from the Canon workshop in Aspen on June 6-7! (Photos courtesy of Erika Silverstein at Canon.) We had a great class, shooting at the beautiful Maroon Bells, which was a mix of snow squalls and bright sun. Canon provided gear demos galore (even a few telephoto lenses I hadn’t tried before), and most importantly everyone learned a lot. I am excited to be leading another workshop with Canon on Sept. 26-27 during Aspen’s stunning peak-foliage weekend, when the aspen leaves blaze yellow and orange. Enrollment details to come shortly!

I will be speaking for three days at the New England Camera Club Council on July 10-12 at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The presentation is titled “World Class Stock: Shooting High-Selling Imagery.” As a top Getty Images stock shooter, I will show my top-selling images such as the one above, and share strategies on how to capture singular, high-selling images with a minimum of gear and expenses.  You can register now on NECCC’s website to be part of this exciting conference; I hope to see you there!

The latest cover of Elevation Outdoors magazine features one of my images of the talented athlete Jessa climbing at Independence Pass near Aspen. This photo was part of an assignment for Canon last fall; also check out photos of Jessa that were used in Canon’s 2008-09 EOS and Powershot Brochures.

Patagonia’s “Summer Favorites” catalog just published and includes four portraits I shot this spring of environmentalists who are part of Patagonia’s Freedom to Roam campaign. Above are two of the clips. The portrait on the left is of Rick Ridgeway, Patagonia’s VP of Environmental Initiatives, in Ojai, CA. The portrait on the right is of Louisa Willcox of the Natural Resources Defense Council, in Livingston, MT. It was great to travel to the beautiful regions of California, Nevada and Montana to photograph these kind people in their hometowns! Many thanks to Tim Davis for the art direction and inspiration.

My hometown of Carbondale, Colorado is featured on the cover and as a two-page spread in the latest Outdoor Life magazine, named as one of the country’s top 10 sportsmen towns. For this assignment, I shot fly-fishing guide Mike Shook and his dog Gordon on the Roaring Fork River during a brisk, beautiful October dawn. Thank you to Justin Appenzeller for the fun shoot!

On Thursday May 21 I am honored to be hosting a benefit and video launch party for the Ethiopian child-welfare agency Wide Horizons For Children. The event starts at 6 p.m. at the Penn Club in NYC. Ethiopia faces a poverty and healthcare crisis that has orphaned over 5 million children; Wide Horizons is bringing life-changing projects to people in some of the poorest communities. This winter, I shot a volunteer documentary for the nonprofit agency that combines photo stills and HD video from Canon’s 5D Mark II cameras; the award-winning advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky generously provided pro-bono video editing and production services. It would be a pleasure to see you there!
