June 11, 2026

Scott Kelby flies solo this week on The Grid while Erik Kuna is off leading a night photography workshop in New Mexico. Before welcoming Rick Sammon, Scott shares a gorgeous photo book that KelbyOne’s own Jason Stevens created from their recent Paris trip, then takes a look at his newly updated portfolio featuring travel portraits, iPhone photography, and behind-the-scenes galleries. Rick joins for a wide-ranging conversation about his new KelbyOne weather photography class with meteorologist Mike Caplan and a playful exploration of AI—from still images turned into cinematic videos and animated portraits to infrared conversions, painterly effects, and creative prompting in ChatGPT. It’s an inspiring look at how AI can complement photography while keeping the fun and creativity front and center, with giveaways and a reminder about the upcoming Photographing People Conference to wrap things up.
