Timeless Photography

I have been trying to count the number of guests I’ve had on this show that mentioned Scott Kelby, and each time I lose count. Seemingly everyone I know, and most of those I don’t know, have learned something from Scott. I know I have.

When I first started in photography I watched Scott’s videos, read his blog posts, and absorbed as much as I could from him. His Guest Blog Wednesdays are one of the most amazing resources for photographers, and twice now I have been honored to write a post there.

I have had some amazing photographers on this show, people I admire and look up to, but this is different. Scott Kelby is an icon in the photography world, at least to me he is. Yes, I do realize I used the word “Icon”, and I mean it. If you are seriously into photography then you are most likely familiar with KelbyOne, the standard by which all online training is judged. Well, Scott puts the Kelby in KelbyOne. You may also be aware of the Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk – the world’s largest social photography event. Did I mention PhotoshopWorld, or Photoshop User Magazine? He is the force behind those as well. Photoshop Guy, speaker, educator and businessman, Scott built a photography education empire.

The first time Scott was on the show, back in 2018 when I was still on the TWiP network, I was so nervous. That show still stands as one of my favorites, aside from the horrible production I had back then. I have wanted to get him back on the show ever since. So many “educators” start to teach and stop creating, but not Scott. He is a creative person, and not just in photography by the way. Scott is an accomplished musician, playing guitar (what an amazing guitar collection he has), bass, drums, and piano. Plus, he is one of the few photographers that seemingly can photograph anything – Any. Thing.

Scott’s portfolio includes sections for Travel, Fashion and Beauty, People, The Great Indoors, Automotive, Sports, and Football. Anything he points his camera at seems to crop itself for him, and that is one of the things I love about Scott’s work. His eye for composition is amazing.

Last year, just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, I had the pleasure of hanging with Scott at NAMM in Anaheim, CA. It was fun to watch a passionate musician walk around and see so many toys. Well, when I asked him to do the show again he said yes, and I am so honored to welcome him back.

Join Scott Kelby and me on this episode of the Behind the Shot Podcast as we discuss his approach to Travel Photography, and as he shares some tips that can help you improve your photos, no matter what genre you photograph.
