Tell us about your most recommended tutorials!

for me the lara jade one

 

The Zak Arias books, he is one of the most down to earth, tell it like it is, don't try to tell people that gear is the answer instructors I know.

 

I like Elia Locardi's Photographing the World.

 

I can second this, all 4 parts. Take a look into some behind the scenes on youtube to get some insight. Definitely worth the time, you'll learn a lot. And enjoy your way through it. Some of his tutorials inspired me to travel to the very same places and try to reproduce the learned

 

RGG EDU tutorials.. Frequency separation 2.0 and Commercial retouching workflow helped me a LOT. But I am a product photographer, so it depends on what are you shooting.
FS 2.0 helped my clean up skills to evolve a lot. I can now clean up texture much faster.
Need to re-watch Commercial R.W. again to fully understand the advanced masking process.

So this tut. and another for product lighting (Photigy has some nice ones) and you are all set for Product Photography.

 

Love his "bkground".

 

I agree.......I also can't stand Breed.

 

For landscape: Alex Noriega, Ted Gore, Ryan Dyar
For cityscape: Elia Locardi
For retouch: Pratik Naik
For street: Meyerowitz
For beauty: So far Michael Woloszynowicz but I haven’t seen Lara Jade or Lindsay Adler yet

 

RGGEDU Frequency Separation 2.0 is the most useful tutorial I've watched. It's rare that I don't use it in some capacity when retouching. Whether it's product or portrait, it makes cleanup/editing so much easier. And for some reason, I really liked Earth Oliver's delivery. A bit like watching Eeyore explaining how to remove glare.

The most disappointing was Annie Leibovitz's Masterclass. While her work is solid, from an educational standpoint, it completely missed the mark.

 

Lyndsey Adlers lighting course really helped me out with understanding light.

 

Richard Wood Portrait Masters Class was amazing his comments on storytelling and creativity really helped me a ton, I have loved everything I have seen by John Keatley! In regards to creativity, Miss Aniela's CreativeLive course helped with that but it would also put me to sleep alot like the RGGEDU Erik Almas class great but might as well be a tranquilizer. I have been on the hunt for tutorials that are focused on creating a narrative in your images and it has been a challenge!
I second that Annie Leibovitz's Masterclass was a monumental disappointment.

 

I like Joel Grimes as instructor. He is very good teacher.

well worth a look.

 

Thank you for the recommendations! Both tutorials are awesome! If you happen to find anything else I am all ears! I will let you know if I find anything too if you want me to!

 

I found Georgy Chernyadyev's tutorials really helpful for my workflow.

 

Frequency Separation from Rgg Edu, Felix Kunze' Lighting Series and the latest of Lara Jade, definitely!
