Free photo training from some of the best in the industry

It's the photo event of May 2010. Eight internationally known photographers will be teaching at Escalate Live 2010 in beautiful Newport Beach's Lido Theatre. Can't make it to California - keep reading.

Since the Lido Theatre is not that large, only a few hundred people will be able to attend in-person. But that's where it gets interesting. Recognizing that fact, the organizers plan to stream the training live to anyone who cannot attend - for FREE!

The two days of training will focus on photographic skills, business skills, the creative process and social media. Instructors are a veritable who's-who of the industry. Assuming no changes occur, plan to see:

David Jay - Photographer and Creator of Showit
Jasmine Star - American Photo's Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World
Jeremy Cowart - Humanitarian and Portrait Photographer
