Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
This sale ended…
I am trying to have a mix of all kinds of deals since it’s raining from all directions, so now time for some learnings! Ending Sunday night, CreativeLIVE has a 15 Classes for $15 each sale which includes “Lightroom 101” with Jared Platt, the “Inside the Home Studio” class, Senior (school, not age) Portraits, lighting, and more.
CreativeLIVE is going to be running a variety of specials during this season as well. At the moment, their featured promotion is 50% off Photography Bootcamps, among which:
+ Portrait Photography Bootcamp for $74
+ Boudoir Photography Bootcamp for $74
+ Adobe Lightroom CC Photo Editing: The Complete Guide for $99
+ Newborn Photography Bootcamp for $149
+ 28 Days of Portrait Photography for $149
+ Master the Business of Photography for $149
No coupon is needed, the sale price is reflected on their website while this promotion is running. This is a sale on existing classes, they are not airing for free promotionally.
PS: Clarifcation ~ the Newborn Photography class is photography of newborns, not teaching newborns about photography 🙂
Wednesday is here and according to the CreativeLIVE On-AIR Schedule, today we have the world premiere (recording LIVE today) of another brand new photography class by Tamara Lackey, Capturing Authentic Children Portraits. This records in front of a live studio audience in Seattle.
As usual, the class starts at 12pm ET today (Wednesday 11/8/17) and it is free to watch during this promotional FREE-to-Watch window. If you like it well enough to want to watch again, they have a pre-order sale for $55.
Also starting at 12pm ET today, it is a FREE to watch rerun of Ben Willmore’s Adobe Photoshop 101. This consists of 48 lessons. If you can’t wait for the free-to-watch stream to begin, locate the “Class Materials” sub-tab, and page down. Lesson #6 (Contrast and Color) is FREE to download in SD or HD (no login or sign-up needed to download it).
And if you are on the Nikon D850 Hype Train, SAVE THE DATE! December 6 is when CreativeLIVE will have the live recording (world premiere) of their Nikon D850 Fast Start class with John Greego. Fear not, I will post more reminders as we get close to that. The pre-order price for the class is $39.
According to the CreativeLIVE On-AIR Schedule, today we have the world premiere (recording LIVE today) of a brand new photography class by Tamara Lackey, Building Your Family Portrait Business starting at 12pm ET today (Monday 11/6/17). You can watch for FREE during this promotional window until Tuesday PM [it will probably rerun through the night, it’s not a 24×7 live class].
A bit of a disambiguation on the title, it is “Family-Portrait Business”, not “Family Portrait-Business”. It teaches creating a business taking portraits of families, not creating a family business dealing in portraits 🙂

+ Wednesday: “Capturing Authentic Children Portraits” with Tamara Lackey (LIVE)
+ Wednesday: “Adobe Photoshop 101” by Ben Willmore
+ Friday: “Family Group Posing” (LIVE)

“LIVE”, as designated with a yellow tag in the On-AIR Schedule listings indicates that a class is recorded LIVE, it is the world premiere. Classes without the LIVE indicator are rebroadcasts/reruns but still free to watch during the dates shown in the On-Air schedule.
12pm eastern (9am pacific) is the start of a new streaming day at Creative LIVE and according to their On-AIR Schedule, continuing today is a FREE to watch repeat of the Photo Week 2017 which has two parallel channels of online classes. These repeat throughout the night. This will continue until November 6 (Monday).

The Photo Week 2017 collection of 40 classes, five keynotes and five critique sessions is now re-airing FREE to watch at Creative LIVE until November 6 in 2017. Since this is a rebroadcast, it will loop through throughout the day. A new day should begin at 12pm ET every day.
If you like what you see, they have a promotional bundle for $200 that gets you all 40 classes, five critiques and five keynotes.
For all the classes currently airing for FREE, and planned to air for FREE in the next few days, check their ON-AIR Schedule.
We have another “world premiere”, a new class recording LIVE today, starting at 12pm eastern (Tuesday 10/31/17), you can watch LIVE and for FREE, with John Greengo, it is the Nikon D7500 Fast Start class. This is the latest Nikon APS-C model, and it is in-stock and shipping [see Stock Status Tracker].
But that’s not all! If you missed yesterday’s Canon EOS 6D Mark II Fast Start class, it will be re-running today for FREE starting at 12pm ET.
You can find future classes scheduled to stream for FREE at the Creative LIVE On-Air Schedule. Classes with that yellow LIVE tag means they are recording for the first time on that date, a world premiere. Classes without that tag means they are rebroadcasts. The classes you see on that schedule are free to watch on the days they are listed under.
PS: the correct name of these classes is “Fast Start” but I often call them “Fast Track”. I cannot easily unwire my brain, so this is a known error 🙂
