Nick Kelsh’s Photo Tips is the heart of the How to Photograph Your Life website—the soul of the website is on almost every page. If you want to be a better photographer, regardless of your present skill level, Nick Kelsh’s Photo Tips is going to make you one sooner than you can imagine.

I’m going to break down forty years of professional newspaper, magazine, and book photography into easily understandable and entertaining points that make picking up your camera not just inspiring, but fun. I’m going to remind you why we are doing this—we love our families—while simultaneously making sure you don’t take yourself too seriously—spilled milk is actually a good photograph. I know my approach works as I’ve just spent almost two years watching nearly 30,000 Facebook fans and their families grow right before my eyes. (Some of the kids I saw in the early photographs are now a good head taller.) The quality of work I’ve seen there every day is nothing short of astounding and energizing. I know that my keep it simple, keep it fun, keep it inspiring approach works. Of that, I am supremely confident.

As a subscriber to NK’s Photo Tips you will receive five emails a week—Monday through Friday— that will link you to a single photo tip and an accompanying essay that will elaborate on a very basic photo principle or technique. They will all contain photographs illustrating the point; some will contain short video clips if video can make the point better. On Saturday you’ll receive Nick’s thoughts on a quote from a famous photographer and how it pertains to you. (Cartier-Bresson said your first ten thousand photographs are your worst.) And on Sundays you’ll receive a more inspirational examination of a quote from a famous person who didn’t take pictures for a living but may have been speaking to you about photography without even knowing it. (Helen Keller said the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.)

Every tip will be archived on the website throughout the year so you can always go back to refresh or re-inspire yourself.

For a limited time we are offering Nick Kelsh’s Photo Tips—and everything else on the website—for $19.95. I asked a hundred friends, neighbors, co-workers, clients, etc., how much we should charge for an annual subscription to our site. No one suggested anything under thirty dollars. We are trying to keep the price low enough so everyone is included.

The website is brand spanking new and a work in progress—soon we will have subscriber photo galleries and community forums up and running. But if you take a look around you’ll see that there’s already an amazing amount of content here that is only going to grow like a weed starting in 2012.

I’ve authored nine books. I’ve been on Oprah twice and The Today Show three times. I’ve appeared at Creative Memories national convention in Minneapolis multiple times—last year 120 of the sales incentive winners got to spend a day with, well, me.

My commitment to you is that I will write and photograph my heart out for you. If you are not completely thrilled and delighted with the subscription we will be happy to return your money at anytime during the year.

As you can imagine, like any new business, we are going to need the support of all of our friends world-wide to help make this site thrive and grow. Please share our link with anyone you think may benefit from what we will hope becomes one of the premiere photography websites.

Stay in focus,
