Super Photo Editing Skills – Reg $79.95 on sale for $47.97

You probably got your start in Photoshop Elements. (No one is judging you) And then worked up the nerve to buy into Photoshop itself.

In this video driven tutorial, you will learn to work with Lightroom the right way. The simple way. The elegant way. It's long in term of time but is filled with tips and tricks that will speed your workflow right up. If you are struggling with your workflow, buy this and give yourself a break.

Awesome Album Design Skills – Reg $79.95 on sale for $47.97

As a wedding photographer, designing albums was about the last thing I wanted to do. Sure, you could outsource it. But Rob and Lauren show you how to use InDesign to easily create templates that you can reuse and manipulate at will. Imagine being able to finish designing your albums in record time. Well, this is what you will learn in this tutorial.

Yes, I am an affiliate partner and I make a small commission that supports this blog. But as I have mentioned in posts past, I don't promote products or services willy-nilly. They have to be something I feel I would use myself and are of the highest quality. That said, get clicky with me and buy the tutorial that is right for you, or buy them all as this sale ends on November 27th.

In true, Photography Concentrate style, Rob & Lauren have also produced a PDF/InDesign set of questionnaires for portrait photographers. What better way to get to know your clients than to ask them about who they are and what makes them tick? This set of questionnaires is FREE. Yep, no strings attached. Just go here to download them. You get both PDFs and InDesign templates that you can repurpose with your own branding!

And the whopper? Enter to win a Sony NEX-6 and a ONA bag. Again, you don't have to buy a thing. Just enter here.

Going to a trade show and conference like WPPI, in Las Vegas, is no gamble. Take my word for it. I have been and it's truly an awesome experience. It's a great opportunity to meet friends whom you have only “met” online, or vendors whose new products you want to check out first-hand. But, yes, it can get expensive, and that's where Tiffinbox is hoping to help you.

That's IT.

Now, the rules:

If you win, you should be able to go. Obvious, right? So, if you can't go, please let us know right away.
