The value one can get out of this whole set is amazing. To watch and re-watch this set opened my eyes to a range of possibilities as well as, bringing to light (no pun intended) a number of things I read, yet did not fully understand due to the written material being unclear in description. I would whole-heartedly recommend these DVDs to anyone wishing to improve their indoor or outdoor portrait/fashion/glamor photography.
Dean Collins fast pace brings you a ton of information on these DVDs. You will certainly wish to go over them more than once. I only wish there were several more sets of this brilliant and talented man. What is covered here though, is tremendous! I have seen other videos, gotten some courses on ebay, and have volumes of great photography books. Yet, none of this material can compare (in my opinion) to how Dean Collins presents it in his informative, yet fast paced manner.
Smartflix...Please add more quality lighting/photography DVDs like this to your collection.
This is an incredible instructional DVD. Amazingly, the lighting quality of Dean Collins on stage appears pretty bad, but don't let that deter you from watching this! I found the portion of lighting the background (with gels and no gels) and preventing bleed off from the background onto the subject very informative. I wish I had a copy of that table of f-stops he presented on how to create different background tones. That would be even more helpful now having seen the DVD.
His discussion on shooting wedding gowns and creating tonal ranges were quite informative.
I enjoyed the presentation of his setups along with the description as to the factors going on at the time.
He is very fast paced here and there is a level of expected knowledge of the viewer in the material covered. It is a DVD that one would desire to watch more than one time through.
