Nik Software
I have used Nik Software’s products for years, and I simply could not be without them. Silver Efex Pro 2 for example, is my go to black and white conversion plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop. They have an Aperture version too, if you use Aperture. There other plugins are all amazing too. I own their complete collection and use it a lot!
If you buy from Nik Software after clicking these tiles, you’ll not only get access to some of the most amazing Lightroom, Photoshop and Aperture plugins on the planet, but you’ll also get 15% off the marked price when you check out. Or you can simply use the discount code MBP15, for the same 15% discount.
Note that some countries don’t automatically use this code, so if you have any problems, please call Nik to place your order, and tell them that you want to use the discount code MBP15, for your 15% discount. This should work in just about all countries except, ironically, Japan. I’m still working on that.
Kelby Training
I’ve been a Kelby Training subscriber since Sept 2009, and I just keep renewing each year. It’s an amazing resource! Being able to just sit back and watch so much quality photography related training on any computer, even my iPad and iPhone, makes it a breeze to access the hundreds of courses from scores of top photographers. Sometimes I watch the more classroom style instructional courses, on how to tackle certain aspects of post processing or the photography business, and other times I’ll be in there being inspired, watching masters like Jay Maisel and Joe McNally at work. Fresh content is added weekly, and you can subscribe on a monthly or yearly basis, whichever suits you. I fully recommend Kelby Training, so give it a try. I think you’ll be happy with your investment.
B&H
Don’t even get me started on B&H. I have spent more money on B&H over the last ten years than I care to remember. And you know what? It’s been worth every penny. B&H deliver at lightening speed, and have the largest selection of camera gear, not to mention, audio, video among others, than any online store I use. Their prices are always the lowest around in my experience, and they have knowledgeable staff on the end of the phone to help, when you need them. You just can’t go wrong with B&H.
Breathing Color
I use Breathing Color Lyve Canvas and Timeless Laminate for all of my gallery wraps. There simply is nothing that comes close to Breathing Color when it comes to a combination of canvas and laminate. They develop them both, so they work perfectly together. I’m also going to be introducing Breathing Color fine art papers to my range soon too, I trust them that much.
For a discount of $20 on an order of $20 or more, use the code MBP20 when checking out.
onOne Software
I use <a href=”http://www.onOnesoftware.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=300_0_3_38″ target=”_blank”>onOne Software’s</a> Perfect Resize 7 Professional whenever I create gallery wraps, or upsize any images for large format printing. Perfect Resize used to be Genuine Fractals, and is the industry standard for “ressing-up” images for print. onOne make a whole slew of great plugins, so do give them a try. Either use these links, or use the code MBP10 for a 10% discount on anything that you buy.
Outdoor Photo Gear
When it comes to service and range of goods, Outdoor Photo Gear are hard to beat. I buy most of my Outdoor Gear and much of my photography gear from them, and I have never had a problem with their service yet. I did once buy something that I was disappointed with, but OPG took it back straight away, and gave me a refund without question. These guys really know how to look after you, and they will.
PhotoShelter
If you are looking for a solution to hosting your professional stock photography collection, PhotoShelter are it. I’ve used PhotoShelter for since 2007, and have been totally satisfied. I host all of my imagses on there, in addition to this web site, because they have one of the most robust shopping systems on the Web, and they calculate the correct price of just about any commercial photography use imaginable, so I always know that my work is being sold for a fair price, without any intervention from me. They handle the licensing, payment and delivery, freeing me up to get out shooting, or doing more important business related tasks.
If you are interested, I was interviewed by PhotoShelter to create a profile page on which I discuss how I use their services, and how they support my photography business. See my profile page here.
Graph Paper Press
Right there complementing PhotoShelter is Graph Paper Press. GPP make top class WordPress blogging platform themes, like the one you are looking at right now on this Web site. This in itself is enough to sign up, but if you are a PhotoShelter user too, you can integrate your PhotoShelter Web site and your WordPress blog seamless. Click here to jump to my PhotoShelter Store, and see how the themes match perfectly, including the page header with navigation and page footer.
Adobe
Adobe don’t really need me to endorse their products to sell them, but I do of course use Adobe Products, and have done for more than 15 years. I always ensure that I have a current version of the Adobe CS Master Collection and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom at all times. I simply couldn’t perform my job as a photographer and content publisher without these tools.
Use the below link, or the links to the right when you buy to support MBP, and sometimes you’ll receive some nice discounts too, depending on the current offers available.
Amazon
Everybody loves Amazon. Even from Japan, I put in an Amazon.com order every so often, and I use Amazon.co.jp just as much. Great service and a great selection of products. I even buy some of my computer and photography related things from Amazon now. They’ve just got such a huge range.
