Natalie and I say thank you to all of you who attended the Mastery Seminars this past week. Your presence helped make this event a success, a great learning opportunity as well as a lot of fun.
On a different note we want to let you know that we have only 3 seats left for the Extended Antelope Canyon Workshop this September. If you have been considering participating in this unique adventure this is the time to make a decision.
We received several registrations for 2 persons at once so all it may take for this workshop to be sold out is 2 more registrations. So, if this event has your name on it don't delay. This is our longest and most extensive Antelope Canyon workshop so far and it promises to be a very unique photographic adventure.

1 - Composition Mastery DVD pre-announcement.
A new DVD tutorial will be published soon. This new DVD will focus on the art of composing a photograph. It will be the most complete Composition tutorial I have ever offered, going far beyond the information that my current Composition CD tutorial features.
At this time a pre-release announcement list is open. Joining this list is simple: simply email me at alain@beautiful-landscape.com with Composition DVD in the subject line and I will add your name to the pre-announcement list.
A special pre-announcement price will be offered to members of the pre-announcement list. There is no obligation to purchase once you are on that list. You will simply be first notified and you will have a chance to take advantage of the special offer.
Further details about this exciting new tutorials will be published here as the DVD nears completion. Make sure to visit this page again soon.
2 - Trilogy Seminars
We still have a few seats available for the Trilogy Mastery Seminars. The Marketing Seminar is nearly sold out. If you plan to attend you need to register now. The Trilogy Mastery Seminars are our only workshops that still have available seats. All our other workshops are sold out.
January 14th
1 - Podcast.
Two new installments of my Podcast are now available. Both focus on Inspiration and represent the first and second episodes of a 3 parts series on inspiration. The first one is an introduction to the series, and the second one is myself talking about inspiration. Part 3, which will be available in a week or 2, features Natalie talking about what inspires her. Listen to my podcast by clicking here now.
2. Thirty new essays now available to Subscribers of my free newsletter
I just added over 30 new essays to the download page for subscribers of my free newsletter. You can see the complete list here. If you are not a subscriber yet, simply click on this link to subscribe.
January 12th
1 - Prices
I am in the process of updating the print of the month pages with the new prices. If you are ordering a print of the month, make sure to use the Special offer page and not the print of the month pages to place your order so that you receive the special offer price and not the new price which is $70 higher for either matted or framed pieces. The update will be completed this weekend. There's 57 pages to update, so it is time consuming.
The special offer ends on the 14th. The special offer page will no longer be accessible afterwards.
Please note that the Navajoland Portfolio will increase by $500 to $4000 also on the 14th. You will receive the lower price if you place your order before the 14th ($3500).
2 - Podcast
Two new podcast episodes are available. Both of them focus on Inspiration. A third episode, also on inspiration, will be published in a week or two. Click here to visit the Podcast Page and make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you do not miss the next episode.
January 7th
1-New online essay
A new online essay, part of the Thoughts and Photographs series, is now available. Titled From Raw File to Master File it focuses on the changes that I make to the image captured by the camera in order to express my vision of the scene. This essay is available at this link.
2-The Holliday Special offers are extended until January 14th
The first reason I decided to extend these offers is because a lot of website visitors were on vacation and just came back, and because there were some errors (now fixed) on the description pages that cause some confusion.
The second reason is because the Print of the Month pricing will go up on January 14th from $264 matted and $365 framed to $295 matted and $395 framed. The initial offering price, good only the month a print is first announced, will stay the same at $225 matted and $325 framed. This increase is due first to my regular price increases and second by increases in shipping costs since shipping is included in the print of the month prices.
This upcoming price increase makes the current offers even more attractive, saving you $70 on either a matted or framed print when comparing the special offer price to the regular price after January 14th.
I decided to extend these two offers another week to give you another opportunity to invest in my work at the very best price. Thank you to all who have already placed your order. Natalie and I very much appreciate your business.

New: The Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD.
Today marks the public announcement of my latest DVD tutorial: the Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD.
Studying how to market and sell your photographs with this new DVD is comparable to attending my Marketing Seminar in February 2008, except you do not need to travel --which saves you a lot of money-- and you can listen and study each presentation as many times as you want --instead of hearing each presentation once during the seminar. Finally, the Marketing Mastery DVD also comes with a recording of the 2007 marketing Seminar, as well as with marketing examples and more. Click here to read the detailed description.
A special offer for the first 40 orders is available. However, this offer was first sent to members of the Pre-Announcement list and, as a result, we only have a few DVD's left at the special offer price. But, the good news is that we still have some available and that one can be yours if you act now.
You can also ask that we charge the Marketing DVD to your card in several installments. Finally, you receive a $100 off coupon towards registration in any of our workshops.
All this is only available if you act now so that you get one of the remaining DVD's that are part of our Special Offer.
New Podcast episode

I forgot something
I forgot to mention that the new Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD comes with a $100 off coupon for any of the workshops taught by Natalie and I. This coupon is mailed to you after you place your order. If you already placed your order, this coupon will be mailed to you shortly.
Also, some of you asked if we offer a payment plan for the DVD. Yes, we do.
We can charge the cost of the DVD in three separate installments. What we do is divide the cost of the DVD by three, charge one payment to your card when you order it, then charge the 2 other payments a month and two months later. We can also do 4 payments if this works better for you. The reason for the 3 payments is that this works great for most photographers.
If this is of interest and will work best for you let us know. There is no extra cost for this option and you get your DVD immediately. You don't have to wait until all 3 payments are made, we ship your DVD immediately after we receive your order.
Right now we have only a few Marketing Mastery Workshop on DVD packages left at the special offer price. This may be your last chance to take advantage of our special pricing, so don't delay placing your order.
Right now the Printing Mastery Workshop on DVD is offered to members of the Pre-Registration list. If you are not on the list and want to have a chance to benefit from this promotion email me with "Marketing DVD" in the subject line. My email address is alain@beautiful-landscape.com.

A list of frequently asked questions, together with answers to all these questions, plus a list of contents is now available for the Marketing Mastery DVD. The link to this list is available on the DVD description page. New content is being added to this page regularly so make sure to visit it.
The DVD is now complete and I plan to release it following our Navajoland Workshop which starts this Friday. I am very excited at the contents of the Marketing DVD because this content exceed my goals for the amount of materials I planned to include. I ended up including much more content and many more materials than I originally thought.
This resulted in a little delay but I am sure you will agree that it was worth it as this extra content really makes the DVD a comprehensive tutorial on learning how to sell your photography. It covers as many venues as are available today including galleries, stock photography, the web, your site, stores, representatives, wholesale, retail, consignement, you name it.
We have one seat available for the September Antelope Canyon workshop. The link is on the workshop page (top left of this page). Only one seat is left for he White Sands and Bosque del Apache (linked above).

I am in the process of editing the recordings for the DVD. This is taking me longer than expected due to the amounts of recordings I made (I have over 30 hours of recordings about how to sell your photographs). At this time I have about 10 hours of recordings left to edit and format.
The good news is that I continue to add new information that I did not think of including at first. For example I now have a section on Artist in Residence programs and on selling your work to National Park giftstores and bookstores, a process that is very specific to the parks and quite different from other wholesale sales.
If you have not emailed me yet to request that your name be placed on the pre-announcement list for this new DVD tutorial, doing so is easy: simply email me at alain@beautiful-landscape.com with "Marketing DVD" in the subject line, and your name will be added to this list right away. There is no obligation to buy, you will simply be the first to be notified and you will benefit from a special offer, a lower price and other exciting opportunities that will be announced when the DVD is published. An upgrade path will be offered to Marketing CD owners as well.
If you have not read my description of the Marketing DVD, or my essay on Marketing, you can do so now by clicking on this link for the DVD description and this link for the Marketing essay.

Printing Mastery Workshop on DVD update
I have now completed all the recordings for the DVD and I am working on editing and formatting the files. I plan to have the DVD ready before the Navajoland Workshop. The DVD will then ship either before or just after the workshop.
The contents are very exciting and I continue to add new material that I find to be indispensable. I have not totaled the length of the recordings yet but I believe that they are well in excess of 20 hours total. I will have a complete, detailed list of the Marketing DVD contents when it is officially announced.

I would like to thank both of you (Alain and Natalie) for the contributions you have made to my photography and printing. This week I took a first place at the Nevada County Fair in the photography competition in the Color – Seascapes, Scenics, and Landscapes division. |
