As we lead up to the CreativeLIVE studio class next month in Seattle, we are looking for six of you to join us live in the audience… for free! Now, don’t get your hopes up thinking that means airfare and accommodations but that does mean you can to be in attendance during the class. We are wanting the studio audience to be the proxy for the online audience. You may be asked to watch a twitter feed during Q&A. You may be asked to be a subject for an impromptu portrait. We promise not to put you into any compromising situations.
We have six spots to fill and this is how you could snag one of those spots…
• Shoot a 60 second video of yourself. Introduce us to who you are, where you’re from, what kind of photography interests you and then ask a question that you would like to see answered during this class.
• Upload it to the web and send that link, via twitter, to @zarias with a hashtag of #creativeLIVE.
• We will watch all of the videos and select six of you to be part of the audience. We will make that selection by May 31st.
• Understand that you will be taped and broadcast all around the Internets.
• You will need to be available from Friday evening June 11th until Sunday evening June 13th.
You can shoot these clips with whatever kind of camera you want! Be creative and keep it short and sweet!
I have not been this excited about something in quite some time. Whether you are in the live audience or you are watching online I promise you that I’m going to pour everything I have into it! It’s going to be a lot of fun.
We are still taking questions that you would like to see answered in the class. Keep them coming in the comment section!
Cheers,
Zack
PS – Big thanks to Syl Arena for making a cameo! If you are in Atlanta, come by this Friday (5/20/10) for a mixer with Syl at my studio. 7:30pm till. 533 W. Howard Ave Decatur. Syl is in town for his Speedliting tour this weekend. Check it out.
Haha! Seems like old times! (From back in March in Orlando) I clicked on your blog and there was Syl! Too much! Hope all is well brother and I’m really excited for your CreativeLive event. I have to purchase it though, because that’s the day I start my fam vacation.
Zack … forget this thing about Photog … you and Meg HAVE to be on the entertainment biz.
How amazing ideas!
Besides you’re using infant i-Legal labor, this mohak-let-me-be-more-cute-than-my-older-brothers close the whole scene with golden key!
AMAZING Zack amazing Arias family!!!
God still blessing all of you, and help on the book launch of Mr. Arena. (HAVE be Canon?? “We’re” 317 numbers ahead of “them” … 900-583 … duh.) and “Dan-a-million-of-styles. Suckcessuful for sure …
Why take time in your video to characterise figures/stereotypes to mock and poke fun at?
We are all so damn smart,mature and above all that here aren’t we? (that was sarcasm by the way)
I just fail to see the point of some of the recent mean and disingenuous (holier/better than thou)comment by Zack and crew.
Never mind me though.
(perhaps my sense of humour and fun is just off base with yours)
Now, THAT was some funny s#%t!! Really enjoyed Meg’s segment, the end of it had me sputtering muffin and coffee all over my laptop!!
Oh, and the “two guns make a Z”, hahaha.
Anyway, I’ll have to watch whatever I can on the creativeLIVE broadcast. Wish I could be there though, as everybody else does. Thanks for this video Zack, good stuff.
You mentioned about not believing everything you read on the internet in reference to the middle f/stops. I have found some data on the middle “fake” ISO setting on Canon cameras. In fact, the fake ISO setting can introduce combing in the histogram. Graphs and links to more data at http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2010/04/still-gnawing-on-that.html
I am impressed at the way some of the comments seem to derail lately. Why do those people actually keep reading/watching if it’s so unenjoyable to them?
Guah, I’m so excited! Gonna make myself look like a nerd on camera and see if I can snag one of those spots. Missed the One Light last time it was in Seattle and I’m dying to meet you. Online is no match for in-person!
I got so excited about this that I got a few friends to help me out with the video….then I realized I can’t afford to go out to Seattle for the seminar. It’s a little bit of a haul from Florida. Oh well. Guess I’ll just have to be content to view it on the net. I’m really looking forward to it. And to meeting you in July.
You go Zack! Like, totally, OMG! Meghan was funny as heck too… I would love to participate in this and send a video, but I won’t be available during these dates. Will you have more of these in the future so I can at least try and be a part of the creative live class? I’d like to know how to buy stick from Ikea. j/k
Gee it sounds like a win-possible-win situation. Many will tweet you all over the internet, for the opportunity of a few to get broadcast all over the internet.
You’re up with the trends. Heck if I saw this earlier I might’ve sent you a vid.
I haven’t been here for about a year. I just checked out your pics, you’ve improved. You’re way ahead of me. That’s the only thing all of us can work towards is to improve each week. Perception is everything.
Westcott, B&H…if the sales of your light modifiers spiked this week, you have Zack Arias and the folks at creativeLive to thank for it. I hope you express your thanks with more than just words…$$$
Dang – It’s the B-Man’s 5th birthday party, or I’d be all over this. Funny, because my question would pertain to work/family balance
Bummer… “18 and older”
“Not valid where things aren’t valid.”
Classic.

Best of luck!

This just made my night!

Haha when I saw this entry in my feed i was already looking forward to another of your humorous video’s and this truely makes my day.
Too bad im from The Netherlands but im def going to try to watch. Good luck!
Yeah. That “Europe” thing bothers me, too. Makes attending workshops much more difficult, too.
But I’ll try to be watching the creativeLIVE broadcast, well, live. If time difference makes it possible, that is… I’m really looking forward to it!

This, like, totally made me LOL.
Prolly best i dont enter, would end up like the meg clip …. LMAO. Defo on the wrong side of the pond for this one.
can’t wait to watch it!!
regards to arias family..
a big fan of yours from philippines!!!
[...] For the dates, details, and whatnot, go over to Zack Arias’ website. [...]
“the end of it had me sputtering muffin and coffee all over my laptop” – ditto that.
I’d have to play hookie from a volunteer gig here, but would get to fly my 1-year-old to visit grandparents in Seattle. Hmmmmmm.
i’d like to hire dan for a nude fine art session. i can pay in precious gems and a free tarrot card reading session
Ha. Ha. Great Idea, and the whole 500 mile radius around the Seattle area is awesome for photography. Wedding weekend for me….
Your dog’s so freaking cool. x
Great video clip!
I’m sorry I can’t be there but I’ll be watching live from down under [where it will be the middle of the night!:)]
You just made my day. Great video, I totally get the point!
Wish I was there, but I think I will also be cool in front of my PC!
Awesome Video! I actually don’t work on those days! Sweet. Time to dust of the p&s and take some video.

Haha great video. Would love to attend but will be watching stream from Ireland instead. Best of luck Zack!
Why take time in your video to have fun?
Your having fun is wasting my and other blog readers time.
Just give us your golden nuggets of knowledge on here and save the fun/humor for when you’re on your own clock.
I just fail to see the significance in some of the recent (humorous/i have more fun than you) demeanor by Zack & crew.
Just my two cents.
Trevor. Please submit form 39-A.2 and we will get your refund check to you in 6 to 8 weeks.
Cheers,
Zack

The background, outfits, hair, etc. are perfect on the last one. The lighting on the background makes that shot for me.

Thanks and keep on doing what you are doing.
Chris
p.s. See you in New York.
Trevor are you kidding? I can’t tell through the internet, but if you’re serious then you can’t come to my birthday party.
Man, Zack is getting some haters. I can’t wait until I have haters of my own! That’s how you know you’re getting awesomer.

Let’s see… babies learn by watching and doing.
