Dear Reader,

Last week, as part of our “Make More, Work Less” series, we heard from reader and stock photographer Kathy Burns-Millyard on how she takes a single photo and sells it over and over again on multiple stock photo websites for extra income. If you missed that issue, you’ll find it in our e-letter archives, here: http://www.thephotographerslife.com/sell_more_stock

Stock photographers post-process all of their photos before selling them. It’s not hard. It just takes a little know-how and practice.

So today, I’ve pulled a little video clip from our archives that talks you through some common tricks for editing portraits in Adobe Lightroom.

Sit back and watch as professional photographer Rich Wagner shows you just how fast and easy editing portraits in Adobe Lightroom can be. He’ll brighten a person’s eyes, whiten teeth, remove wrinkles, prepare a photo for sale in a magazine, and more, all in less than four minutes.

You’ll find this free video of quick tips for editing portraits in Adobe Lightroom on our website, here: http://www.thephotographerslife.com/video/rich

Note: Rich made this video before our Ultimate Money-Making Photo Workshop last March in New Orleans, so you’ll hear him mention that.

If you missed us in New Orleans, don’t worry. Now’s a great time to start on the cheap...

On August 21, we're taking the recordings from this event off our product list, which means they won't be available any longer at any price. But until then -- for the next week only -- we've slashed the price by more than 60%. Now, for a limited time, the full workshop recordings, presenter PowerPoints, worksheets, hand-outs, and more are on close-out for just $99, here: http://www.thephotographerslife.com/phr/website

And when you think about it, at $99, the sale of just one or two photos to any of the five markets discussed on these recordings can more than pay for your investment.

Watch the video and it’s over to you...

Enjoy!
