The Crème de la Crème: The best articles of 2012.

 
Wow! What a year! We com­pleted 200 Con­sult­ing projects, over 30 Pho­tog­ra­phy and Video Work­shops, 50 videos, 50 tuto­ri­als and close to 200 blogs posts.…all in one year.

How was this even pos­si­ble? One, this is a team effort, where every­body does what they love and excel at. Sec­ond, great time and project man­age­ment, which is para­mount in an indus­try that keeps chang­ing (and some­time evolv­ing) every sin­gle day.

We want to sin­cerely thank our sub­scribers (if you are not one, it is not too late. Join here) and fol­low­ers for all of their con­tin­ued sup­port and feedback.

Today we would like to high­light our 10 most pop­u­lar arti­cles of the year. Later this week we will pub­lish the 10 arti­cles that for what­ever rea­son didn’t get much atten­tion but we feel are very rel­e­vant and worth your time.
