    Many thanks!

    For me it's a disappointment. And I tell you why.

    To me it's the "same old same old".

    > The portraits in the tutorial look stiff and dated with the flowers in the hand.
    > No Vogue atmosphere at all in most of the photos.
    > No explanation of a modular group photo (group shot composed of different single portraits).
    > No environmental portrait (with natural light and strobe together). Always the same boring Oliphant backdrops.
    > Always dark and moody photos. I'm also interested in how to shoot a bright photo in dull and dark location.
    > Complicated setups require a lot of time when shooting the various lighting scenarios presented here. Too few simple setups with minimal equipment.

    So in conclusion I don't think he shows his real trade secrets here. Only stuff which he has taught earlier and which he might utilize here and there but which is not really the cutting edge of contemporary portrait photography.

    Thank you for the share, was tempted to get it but saw your post you will provide a link. On the same old newly packaged seems to be an repeating theme with some photographers. Anyway this does not take a way the gratitude providing the tutorial, so thanks again!
