One of the keys to my photographic education was provided by PhotoVision.
They have an outstanding library of educational photography DVD's - I have their 6 DVD (each) sets Portrait Techniques Vol. I & Vol. II, Wedding Techniques Vol. I & Vol. II, as well as the 2 DVD set Marketing & Management.
Each set is about 12 hours in total length and you get to watch over the shoulders of such greats as Gary Fong, David Ziser, Parker Pfister, and Ken Sklute just to name a few.
You will see complete weddings, or portrait sessions from setting up the lights through post production. The photographers will explain what they are doing and why. You will get things like the best place to position yourself during the wedding ceremony, lens selection, and using available light.
I got more useful information from my PhotoVision DVD's than I did from all my other books and tapes combined.
The reason I bring this up is because PhotoVision has an out standing offer that anybody looking to improve their photography should take advantage of.
