Many of you have heard us talk about Help-Portrait, an annual event when photographers give portrait photography to those who otherwise wouldn't be able to have it. Founder Jeremy Cowart, one of the most talented and influential photogs out there, will be facilitating an online class on lighting this coming Monday at CreativeLive. We'll be in the live studio audience in Seattle. It's free to watch live (9am-noon Pacific time) at www.creativelive.com, and they usually rebroadcast the class throughout the day into the night; or you can purchase it later.
