What's New 2020 Archive

December 30th
I am hard at work updating all the Mastery Workshops on USB / DVD so that they run on the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat and the latest system software versions, Mac Big Sur and Windows 10. All the files and links have to be updated. There are 11 Mastery Workshops so this is a time consuming operation. I am also updating the Summit Recordings on USB/DVD, the Master Files on USB/DVD, the Podcast Collection on USB/ DVD and more. So far I have completed the following:
- The Printing Mastery Workshop on USB/DVD
- The Advanced Composition Mastery Workshop on USB/DVD
- All the Summit Recordings on USB/DVD from 2006 to 2009
- All the Master Files on USB/DVD
- All the Marketing Seminar recordings
- The Podcast Collection on USB/DVD

I will add to this list as I continue updating the Mastery Workshop tutorials. I have nine more Mastery Workshops to update.

If you own one or several of these tutorials updates are available for 10% of the regular price including US shipping: $95. Just email us to let us know which Mastery Workshop, Summits, Master Files or other you want us to ship you: alain@beautiful-landscape.com

if you do not own one of these yet click here to see the entire collection now.

December 27th: New Online Student Image portfolios
The last Online Flash Image Portfolios have been removed and replaced with new html Portfolios viewable on any device.

Flash was terminated by Apple and other vendors making its use obsolete. Most of my remaining Flash Image Portfolios featured student images created during our workshops. If you submitted photographs for the old Flash Portfolios you can see your images in the new Online Portfolios at this link.

I will be adding new student images to these Online Portfolios so if you attended one of our workshops and want to see your images featured here simply email me a selection -- no more than 10 images, 600 pixels wide or tall maximum dimension -- to alain@beautiful-landscape.com

Natalie just finished her online class requirements with the American Red Cross for the course Returning to Work During COVID-19: Safe Work Practices. Her certificate is featured on this page.

My September 2020 Newsletter was sent out today to subscribers. If you did not receive it you can subscribe now at this link. You will receive 40 free eBooks when you do.

One of the most exciting news in my September newsletter is that we will be offering field workshops in 2021. Our 2021 workshop schedule is posted on the workshops page. We hope that being able to attend workshops again provides a ray of sunshine in your life.

Visit the workshops page to sign up or to transfer to one of our 2021 Workshops. Do not delay because we may have to reduce the number of participants in order to protect everyone from contamination. For this reason the sooner you register or transfer the sooner you will be guaranteed a seat. If you are transferring our workshop transfer policies are on each workshop description page. Read it and if you still have questions just call or email.

September 21st
A new Videos Page is available. These videos were previously available on the Alain Briot Video Workpress Site. However the Wordpress template became outdated and difficult to update so I decided to discontinue the wordpress site and to feature the videos on YouTube and Vimeo instead.

A new Online Portfolio is available. Titled The Backyard Project this portfolio features the photographs I created this year during the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and associated social distancing. Unable to visit faraway destinations I focused my attention on a nearby subject: my backyard. You can see the outcome of my efforts in this new online gallery.

The July Print of the Month is available. This month I selected a particularly colorful photograph to contrast with the black and white image I selected for June. This print is available at a 20% discount until the end of the month.

June 1st
The June Print of the Month is available. Just like last month, I am making the Artist Proof available at the same price as the open edition print. The catch is there's just one so whoever claims it first gets it. There will be no announcement when it sells. We'll keep this as quiet as this image ;-)

My eBooks are a safe and inexpensive way to study Fine Art Landscape Photography during these days of social distancing. You get a significant discount if you order several at the same time. Check out my eBook collection on the eBooks page.

April 13th
The April Print of the Month is available. Visit this link to see which images I selected for April and to place your order.

The Artist Proof for this image is available. I made only one Artist Proof and it is numbered 1/1. I was going to make this Artist Proof available during our April Workshops but since we had to postpone them I am making it available online.

I normally price Artist Proofs higher than open edition prints but I am making this one available at the 20% Print of the Month open edition price. Shipping is included and if you live out of state (meaning not in Arizona) there is no sales tax so you only pay the flat 20% off Print of the Month price. A unique opportunity to invest in a unique print!

March 25th

The current Corona Virus situation is affecting all of us forcing us to postpone workshops and causing us to stay home. On a positive note this is a good time to process photographs because this is something we can do at home without exposing us to unnecessary risks. For this reason we are making all our Mastery Workshops on USB/DVD available at a 20% or higher discount, depending on how many you order at the same time. All the details of this offer are at this link.

The White Sands Workshop was a success with fantastic weather and great light. Thank you to all the workshop participants whose passion for photography made this workshop a success. We look forward to seeing you soon.

If you attended a workshop with us last year you may see yourself in one of these new photographs :-

2020 Online Portfolios

January 25th
I added an 11th online gallery to the 2020 portfolios. It features photographs from the Arizona car auctions we attended last week. If you follow my social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) you already saw some of these photographs. If you do not you can discover them now on the Portfolio Galleries page.

This gallery is organized in the chronological order we visited the car auctions. However a secondary organization system is used. I created a number of black and white photographs that are intended to be expressive rather than descriptive or souvenirs. These are placed first in each auction section.
