About a year and a half ago Rick Sammon, photographer and author, asked video editor/director David Leveen a simple question, “Could downloadable Adobe Photoshop and digital photography lessons be sold online?” With more than 12 titles and 2,500 DVDs sold since then, the resounding answer is yes! Photographers – professional, advanced amateur and novices – are becoming better photographers thanks to the training DVDs by Rick Sammon, Julie Adair King, Chris Alvanas, Rob Shepard, Lewis Kemper, and Doug Jenson, all available at www.rickspixelmagic.com.

Rick and David started Rick’s Pixel Magic Productions with the goal of bringing Rick’s easy going, and fun style of learning to both the big screen and your pocket (via the iPod and iPhone). Their first project is the DVD, “Rick Sammon’s Canon® EOS Digital Rebel Personal Training Photo Workshop”, published by Wiley Publishing and available on Amazon.com. Select lessons from that DVD are also available in Apple TV, and iPod,/iPhone versions on rickspixelmagic.com for downloading. For more information on upcoming projects please check out our blog.

“It’s not hard to turn a snapshot into a great shot,” says Rick. “That’s one of the goals of all my photography and Photoshop lessons. Another is to make learning fast, easy and fun!”
