# Scott Kelby

Scott Kelby (born July 7, 1960) is an American photographer and an author and publisher of periodicals dealing with photography and Adobe Photoshop software, for design professionals, photographers, and artists.

## Photography career

Kelby is editor and publisher of the Photoshop User Magazine, president and co-founder of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and president of Kelby Media Group, an Oldsmar, Florida-based software training, education, and publishing firm.
He is a photographer, designer, and author of more than 60 books on related topics including The Digital Photography Book series. For the years 2010 through 2012 Kelby was named the top-selling author of books on photography according to research based on Nielsen BookScan data.
Kelby is the training director for the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour and conference technical chair for the Photoshop World Conference & Expo. He is featured in a series of online Photoshop training classes and DVDs and has been training Photoshop users since 1993. In the fall of 2007, he created Kelbytraining.com to bring his training material online.
Since the fall of 2005, Kelby has co-presented the video podcast Photoshop User TV, named after his organization's magazine. The 30 to 45 minute weekly show began life as "Photoshop TV" (and was briefly "NAPP TV"). During the show, Kelby and his NAPP friends/coworkers talk Adobe Photoshop news and tutorials in a witty, bantering style.
In 2008, he started the "Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk".
In March 2011, Kelby launched a weekly talk-show for photographers called "The Grid Live," with co-host RC Concepćion. Show topics include current photography and creative industry topics, and viewers are encouraged to participate by posting questions to a live feed.
