Photography video tutorials

Photography video tutorials / Online photography workshops

If you’re keen on attending a photography workshop, but time and distance is limiting you, then these online video tutorials might just be the thing. Not quite hands-on, but there is something about seeing something explained that might help you when words and images don’t quite suffice.

With the Craftsy classes, there is a platform where you can post questions, and also post your own work. So it is quite interactive, and feedback on these video tutorials have been excellent.

 

 


On-camera and Off-camera flash photography

Off-Camera Flash Photography
Portraits with an On-Camera Speedlight

This video tutorial series was created in conjunction with Craftsy. The online classroom has a platform where anyone who is subscribed can ask questions. So it is an interactive method, and not just a static video-only class. There is also no time limit on this, so you can watch it anywhere, any time.

As the instructor, I’m able to offer a big discount for everyone via these links.

These online classes have received great feedback from those who enrolled:
– portraits with on-camera speedlight
– off-camera flash photography

Wedding photography – online video tutorials!

Wedding Photography
Wedding Photography

Two events during a wedding day where the photographer can stamp their style, is with the romantic portrait session and the formal family photo session. These two video tutorial classes which I helped create in conjunction with Craftsy, cover all aspects of these topics.

Specifically, the family photo session is where newer photographers often have difficulty and things can slide out from under their control. This class will give you the info you need to help you sail smoothly during this part of the wedding.

    I ordered a video tutorial off camera flash and was able to follow along, I really appreciate you explaining everything thoroughly and how you don’t rush through the steps & information. Thank you I learned a lot, looking forward to your upcoming videos

    Hi Neil,

    Recently I purchased your video tutorials and I must tell you they are worth every penny – and then some. I revisit them often – and always with reward. Just seeing you work with the bride and groom and all of the nuances is invaluable. Applying what I have learned has made my work SO much better. I can’t tell you how many books I have read (and purchased!) about wedding photography and NONE of them come close to watching you work and the real ‘hands-on’ feel of your videos. Camera settings and flash settings I am comfortable with. But the connection with the B&G is so important – and you helped that gel with me. When I get an email (or text) from the bride (usually) that they had FUN doing the shoot, I know I’ve hit the mark. Right?
