Online Photography Classes from LinkedIn Learning

Wait… from who?

You probably don’t think of LinkedIn when you think of online photography classes, but you might if I said “Lynda.com” – the site that was acquired and merged into the LinkedIn Learning brand.

Lynda had a bunch of great photography classes from real photo pros, and those same folks now have their material available as part of LinkedIn Learning. You’ll find those instructors as well as new ones with an oft-updated catalog of material. I bet they cover a lot of the 103 things I think a photographer should know.

Since so many of us have had clients cancel and have some time on our hands, here’s a great deal:

Sign up for a free trial of LinkedIn Learning and you have 30 days to check out all their courses (photography or otherwise).
