If people aren't interested that is their prerogative, I thought there were some good things said but also got a little bit irritated by his voice/manner and gave up watching after a couple of hours.

Thanks Ed I did a search but found nothing :(

Ive found it really interesting, Im just having a rewatch see if I missed anything :thumbs: its on a break at the moment but should restart in a few mins
 
Im too busy looking at all the bloody threads on it :lol::lol: No I have watched a good part of it Dave and you are right there is plenty of useful stuff to learn. Seeing somebody do instead of just talk or read about it makes more sense imo.

The lowres version isn't as start stop, or do you mean his voice ;)

Getting a bit fed up of his over the top things - like saying thankyou, and telling everyone you must say thankyou. Of course you should, and you only need to say it once

Ive only ever had the pleasure of working with 2 professional models in a studio once, and I must admit, I said thank you almost every shot, I think I was using it as an ice breaker as I was nervous (:lol:) and to give me confidence to try help me speak to them and give some direction as to posing (Not as they needed any) and really just communicate with them, as Rick says "silence is deadly"

Ive really enjoyed watching the podcasts over the last 2 days,and learned quite a lot, looking forward to todays macro sessions :thumbs:

I found the lighting one really basic, and lacking depth. The business one seems to be lacking in reality.. that is the reality of most photographers is that they dont have a tribe of people following them, and they do have limited resources in time and money. esp. when it comes to the social media aspects.

The issue with some of the current "Woodstock Generation" is that they made hay, and made their money and reputation, when things apparently just unfolded at their feet for them. The reality of the current photography start up is similar to mine - my local competition have websites with 1500 - 2000 in-links, they charge cheap as chips prices, and they are not that good. so while you go through the "building up your following / reputation phase" he doesn't. fill in the vital gap that eludes many start ups "how do you earn a living". Thats my beef with a lot of these "inspirational business tutorials" . They can go on about phrases like "if you think you can do it you can" or "what ever you believe can happen will", but being inspirational doesn't put food on the table

To be fair to the guy, he did elude to needing a business plan

The continuous lighting part really showed the shortcomings of continuous lighting, and for me, a softbox isnt everything

On the plus side, the way he dealt with his staff, and the model, was perfect, and a lot of photographers could learn from that
 
I have been watching the rerun of this this morning and it has just completely stalled, anyone else having trouble?
 
They've had loads of problems with the streaming. Been very poor for me. There's been some good content though.

Just watching the rematch and I've been struck by what a nice and knowledgeable guy John Cornicello is. Would be great to share a few beers with him.
