    Lets be honest I think we are all addicts of photography tutorials here,so whats the best one you have seen? whats the one you keep watching over and over and who teaches in a way that keeps you glued to the screen?

    My top 3 are as follows....these are must haves for everyone!!!

    1 RGGEDU Chris Knight - Dramatic Portraiture and Lighting....amazing content and fantastic teacher.

    2 The Lighting Series - Felix Kunze ..... all you need to know about lighting.....great course.

    3 RGGEDU Erik Almas - The Complete Guide to Composite Photography,Color and Composition.....top class content from a world class artist.


    What are your favourites?

    Chris Knight is great; superb use of harsh key light and large soft fill, that's part of the key to the dramatic lighting.
    Dan Winters is a great example of that:

    A) For style I like Lindsay Adler & boyfriend Chris Knight, Paul Apal'kin, Jake Hicks, Joel Tjintjelaar (and few others).
    B) For technique I Like Jimmy McIntyre, Alex Koloskov, Aaron Nace, Julia Kuzmenko (and a few others).

    *I see Erik Almas as being very sloppy when he shoots, his horizon is all over the place (just my opinion :D)

    Lol I wish I was as sloppy for a $100,000 a day.

    He does composites....he will fix it in post.

    Yes, recently Joel Grimes said that "the best photographers don't make the most money".


    Precisely, if he weren't so sloppy he wouldn't need to fix it in post.
    Or maybe he was sloppy on purpose in the tutorial in order to show some techniques.
    Or maybe I'm lazy and I avoid doing the extra work that being sloppy requires me to do :D

    I prefer Renee Robyn or PHLearn's workflow, not as sloppy, although they make way less money. ;)

    For me Joel Grimes and Renee Robyn's work seem to follow a set formula....and they pretty much stick to it...I used to be a fan of their work but now I find them a bit boring.
    I think Almas is a lot more diverse as an artist and has a lot more weapons in his armoury.

    jaja heck yeah! she is definitely not a master of the high end but her art exceeds that border, now, in technical skills erik is incredible, I just have to say that I find boring his way of teaching but there is definitely much to learn from him.

    I enjoy watching Scott Robert Lim,he is easy to watch and is good fun.
    I think he is a photographer whose personality is greater than his talent....by that I mean, you could follow his system but you could never be like him in the way he interacts with his subjects.
    Alpalkin is a master of simplistic light and someone who also uses basic tools...........there is no top quality, expensive gear used there....and his results are beautiful.

    I don't think I will ever take photographs of cars, models on a beach, architecture,landscapes or maternity but I have been blown away by the talent and knowledge shown by these guys and they deserve a special mention.

    I have just recently discovered Orwig. Do you know any others with a similar style which focuses on emotion in portraits face?

    When it comes to landscape I really enjoyed:
    1 Ted Gore
    2 Ryan Dyar
    3 Alex Noriega
    4 Chris Burkard on Creative Live
    5 Max Rive - i put him in last place because I like the look of his photographs but his tutorials are not the best when it comes to learning about his photography techniques
