This is not a request section

 

I think Valenzuala,Ghionis and Bryce have taken posing just too far......to the point that its become far too intricate and its almost microscopic.....personally I can't watch these guys anymore.
I find all the SLRLounge classes a bit too much of an overkill as well.
I always enjoy Chris Knight and Zack's classes.
I don't have much interest in landscape photography but I watched Nigel Danson's class and really enjoyed it.....his work has a more natural look compared to some of the other landscape stuff I see.

 

I am also looking for tutorials on creative storytelling in photography / crafting a narrative like telling a story with the image not just capturing it..... fictional photography, I guess is the term I am looking for, it seems damn near impossible to find anything worthwhile that I haven't consumed already (Brooke shaden has some great stuff, Kate Woodmans was super disappointing, anti karppinen class was great, Richard Wakefield had good stuff) if anyone can point me towards a worthwhile tutorial I will be sure to send you a reward. lol



-------------------------
quick recommendations..
+1 for Brief Encounters with Gregory Crewdson
+1 Richard Wood for painterly edits
+1 for Chris Knight
This guy has some great videos on painterly stuff https://youtu.be/ZopHsb7sSwY
Any of John Keatleys tutorials
Eric Almas of course,

 

@sublimnial try Bella Kotak,Robert Cornelius,Irene Rudynk and Lola Melani although she does maternity...she is very creative.

 

@JohnS and @sublimnial If you haven't seen this then I would highly recommend that you watch the Richard Wood section...he actually talks about his formula for creating numerous ideas.

There are a few other presentations that are definitely worth checking out too.

 

thanks a lot

 

Great thread, Leona95!

For beginners working with Flash: Zack Arias – One Light (I actually prefer the grittiness and relative lower production of his version “One” [1st] over his second). Also, his contribution on CreativeLive specific to global overview on fundamentals, lighting, etc is excellent.

- RGG / PRO – EDU are phenomenally produced and add an extra element of providing an interview with many of the presenters so as to garner some insight to the thought-process for the viewer.

- Pratik Naik is oh-so the mellowest and excellent instructor for retouching, he possesses the gift of nuance; but GOD, do I love the retouching of Natalia Taffarel - a high end fashion retoucher and workshop instructor from Buenos Aries, Argentina (the only thing I like better from Argentina is steak!)

- Beyond the fundamentals of lighting: One can never go wrong with Joe McNally: his seminal “The Moment It Clicks” and “Hot Shoe Diaries” was groundbreaking for its time. His method is sublime: when faced with a lighting problem, opt for the [sometimes] simplest solution. Also, David Hobby (founder of Strobist) is mandatory reading. Oh yes: Gregory Heisler: 50 Portraits: Stories and Techniques from a Photographer's Photographer is great!

- Lindsay Adler and Sue Bryce are stellar!

- Joel Grimes self-admittedly has his own style and I appreciate his “meat-and-potatoes” approach! Did I mention I like steak?

- The now-bye-bye RAWExchange had great tutorials – seek them out and absorb the contents.

- If only Annie Leibovitz could find a producer to catalyze her ability to teach . . . and it resulted in content 1/10th the product of her late partner Suasn Sontag’s written word, I would drop cash in a split-second! That Masterclass was equivalent to Star Wars’ Jar-Jar Binks . . .



- As for an artist-background with applications for photography: Adam Marelli [period]. Actually, this should be at the TOP of the list . . . he IS that good as an educator and his teachings are posted on this site!!

- There are others, but I realize I’m getting a little long-winded . . . looking forward to what others have to write . . .

 

Look at the following link -
https://www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/josef-koudelka/

Although his work is based on reality at-the-time and strongly rooted in story-telling (he was a Master, after-all) - you might find inspiration in closely studying his documentary photos; some fantastic work in which you may spring-board for your end-goal.

Froknowsphoto-Guide to shooting video

 

Anyone has this?

 

What about this https://p-v.club/threads/froknowsphoto-guide-to-shooting-video-dslr-video-guide.19872/#post-73043

 

Not really a fan of Jared but for someone just starting out from scratch....I am sure the material would be educational.

 

Me too but the course is actually taught by Todd Wolfe and he's damn good

 

Good to know...thanks.
