Customer Reviews
Creative Director
Brilliant in every way. Easy to understand and very informative. Even though each tutorial is also an infomercial for their products, they are not pushy or pitchy...just fantastic trainers using world class products.
Terrific Podcasts
These podcasts are filled with valuable info for a guy like me who has taken an interest in studio lighting and portraiture. Examples of the shots are shown as they are being taken (why doesn't everyone do this?) The host, Mark, does a great job keeping it energetic and interesting.
Great information
Very good and useful information. He has a good product but not pushy about it. Very professionally done.
