We’re kicking off a new competition today, to win a copy of Scott Kelby’s Photo Recipes Live: Behind the Scenes: Your Guide to Today’s Most Popular Lighting Techniques. It looks like a great DVD, packed with tips for how to light your photographs creatively and professionally.
Read on for more information about how to enter!
Winner Announced
Congratulations to Daniel Miclos, the randomly selected winner of our Photo Recipes Live DVD. We’ll have your prize on the way very soon! Thank you to everyone who took part, and we’ll have another competition for you soon.
Prize Details
Today’s prize is one copy of Photo Recipes Live: Behind the Scenes: Your Guide to Today’s Most Popular Lighting Techniques. Here’s the description of the prize, and an idea of what to expect in the DVD:
If you’ve ever wondered how the pros use natural light, studio light, and even direct daylight to get those amazing shots, you’ll see it all here, live, as it happens. Join Scott in an amazing New York City loft photo studio as he recreates the “recipes” from his books, along with some bonus lighting set-ups that weren’t in the book, to create a very special learning experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Everything in the DVD is put together from scratch (from studio shots, to location shots, to product photography) while the cameras were rolling so you can see it all from beginning to end and learn how to recreate those same looks without spending thousands on expensive high-end equipment.
Best of all, if you’ve read Scott’s books, watched his podcasts or seen him teach live; you know he explains everything a simple, straightforward way, that makes learning much easier.
If you’ve ever wondered how professional photographers get the shots they get, you’re about to find out in this amazing new DVD/Book combo that shows how easy it can be‚ once you know the secrets.

I really want to win this awesome DVD. Have a small DIY mini studio created in my garage for portrait photography with some backgrounds and an Elichrome minilite kit. After a year of hard work I now have more time for this great hobby. A DVD with lots of theory and practice examples would be great.

I work for the U.S Army in Bamberg, Germany and would love to win this dvd. I would like to learn lighting techniques in order to take beautiful portraits of the soldiers and their family members to give them during times of deployment. Once I learn and perfect the techniques, I would like to give workshops to the soldiers and family members so they can also learn the lighting techniques and take the photos themselves. I will keep my fingers crossed! Thank you for the opportunity to win this dvd!

To write a comment without a subject is like writing a biography without knowing the subject. But the chance of getting a DVD with the fundamentals of lighting explained is tooo good to be missed out. After all the correct lighting is the crux to good photography, which is after all just a play of light and shadows. Using the light source intelligently is the key to differentiate a picture from a snapshot.
Hope the best comment wins the award, and helps the person come out with better award winning pictures.
light is good
neat
wow, I could really use this!
This will end up in the collection, one way or another

Awesome stuff! Let’s try and see if Im lucky
These videos I will heed
for the training I need
to be a good photog
i need more than a blog
with lighting i can be freed
I loved reading Scott Kelby’s photography books, I’ve learned so much from them. When I found out he created another one with a DVD, I was so happy. I know this book/DVD can help build my confidence in working with studio lighting, which is my weakness.
this would be so great to have!
thx could be interesting, kelby’s training series are always welcome.
ooh! interesting
I feel winning this prize would be very beneficial for any photographer (aspiring or practicing). Photography can simply be described as “painting with light.” Therefore, this type of knowledge and techniques are coveted by creative individuals.
I am here.
I’m in.
Always enjoy Scott Kelby’s workshops.
I’m sure this book/dvd will be great like all of the other books Scott Kelby has put together!
Wow! very nice giveaway
Thanks guys, you’re awesome
oooh this sounds like exactly what i need
I’ll take one, thank you very much!
lighting. ah! the bane of my existence…

This DVD will help me to start my emerging interest in photography.
Just started portrait photography so this will be perfect.
