Kevin-photographing.jpgHi There. I'm Kevin Kubota. When we surround ourselves with amazing, inspirational people, we are driven to become amazing ourselves. We are all "Action Heroes" inside, but we may need a little encouragement to tap our super powers. While "Action Hero" is a metaphor for any Smart and Sassy Photoshop guru who uses Photoshop Actions to power through their workflow and supercharge their images – the True Action Hero is a deeper thinker. "Get Action" in all areas of your life: Love, Learn, Grow, Share, and Make the world a better place. Let's all Get Action together. Here. Now. Oh, don't forget to sign my guestbook!

What's a surefire way to get people to look at your photos?

DateThursday, March 25, 2010 at 08:57AM | AuthorKevin Kubota

All your burning photography questions (well, maybe not all) answered by Scott Bourne and I on his podcast. I was honored to be his guest again for this episode #34 and it was a hoot! We discussed a bunch of hot topics submitted from his listeners and revealed a few things we didn't know about each other too. It was fun, check it out. Scott is an amazing photographer, with a collection of images that will blow your mind. My family had dinner with him last night and my sons almost made a game of trying to find some kind of animal that Scott hadn't photographed!

Favorite 1-liner bits of advice from photographers everywhere

DateTuesday, February 23, 2010 at 08:46PM | AuthorKevin Kubota

I ran a fun contest on my Facebook page asking for photographers to share their favorite one sentence bit of advice - either something they've heard, or something they concocted. It was really great to read through them all! The winning one-liner earned it's creator a FREE FULL YEAR membership to SmugMug PRO! Sa-weet deal for sure. You can see the 100+ one-liners on my FB page if you're looking for some laughs and inspiration. I had to ask my staff to pick the winning entry as I just had too hard a time. The top 10 are here...and the winner was....

Erin Wray Cady
I heard this one early on and it stuck with me:

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

The other top 10 were...

 

Heather Brizendine Gill
Never stop learning - everyone has something to teach you!

Jennifer Lebron
Connect to a community & create conversations about what you love.

Sally Benn Clark
Above all else, be yourself.

Diane Nanos Parsons
Have great customer service! You can be the best photog in the world but no one will book you without your customer service (Smug Mug is a GREAT example of perfect CS!)

Riz Crescini
You need new equipment like you need a hole in the head. Invest in yourself instead!

Courtney Paine Bodily
Believe in what your doing, believe in who you are!

Colin Vincent
As a photographer, one of your goals should be to make pictures *with* things, rather than to take pictures *of* things.

Conrad Flemming
The best photography investment I've ever made was buying comfortable shoes.

Russell Haddock
Do or do not....there is no try - Yoda :-)

 

I actually like Russell's recitation of Yoda myself!

Lightroom quick tip - fun with export actions

DateThursday, August 27, 2009 at 11:36AM | AuthorKevin Kubota

In Lightroom, you can automate more of your workflow by using export actions when you are done working your images. I use them to quickly post images to my blog and to load images automatically in to a ProSelect album - ready to present to the client. This quick video shows you how.
