Sean Arbabi, Commercial Photographer joins host Scott Sheppard to share his background in commercial/editorial work and experiences in developing a successful stock photography business. He is also an author and instructor who hosts both online classes and workshops. Sean explains that although he specializes in adventure, lifestyle, nature, and travel photography his assignments have also expanded his portfolio to include over 350,000 stock images. Sean feels that although the stock industry has changed over the past few years but is still a viable outlet, albeit more diluted, to generate revenue. Sean reminds us that in the end it’s not always about being the best photographer but rather about being the smartest business person behind your work.

Sean recently completed his first book published by AmPhoto, "The BetterPhoto Guide to Exposure" which he wrote based on his popular courses available at http://www.betterphoto.com and helps you master the art of proper exposure. Sean is as passionate about teaching others as he is about being a successful photographer and shares some tips on metering light. In addition to being a great photographer and instructor, Sean’s passion for teaching has also led him to create a concept and pilot for an informative TV/Video series "The PhotoGuru with Sean Arbabi", which is also available on YouTube.
