If you want to expand your photography skills with the helping hand of a working pro, check out the courses offered by the newly launched The Compelling Image. I’ll be teaching Live Performance Photography and Stunning Portraits the Natural-Light Way, and other top-notch working pros teach everything from Capturing Flowers — Macro & Creatively, to Step Into Outdoor & Adventure Photography. The weekly lessons, assignments, and critiques are given in a comfortable and transparent online classroom and will not only hone your talents, but inspire you to make the most of your photography. The Compelling Image is spearheaded by fellow photojournalist David Bathgate, whom I met through our writings for The Digital Journalist.
