    Great video! Everyone always talks about posing women, but this is needed so much. What you're doing is displaying while talking us through it. Other videos I've watched just shows us watching the model. By explaining it to us makes it make sense. These tips help from both sides of the camera.Thank you!

    GREAT ADVICE TO MODELS: Know where the light is!!! A good model works WITH the photographer. The more they understand the mechanics the more the photographer can focus on getting shooting. I have a muse who understands me. First, we discuss the project and the mood--he channels into the character and HOME RUN because he understands the mechanics

    Amazing video. I can only imagine how learning live would have been a blessing for people joining your workshop.
    If I may request you to make a video on the props that you use and their purpose of them, especially in lifestyle photography. May be a few of them, like a basket full of fruits or a chest.
