    I BOUGHT THIS AND IT REALLY SUCKS. DO NOT EXPLAIN THE EDITING COMPLETELY AND SKIP STEPS. NOT WORTH IT. I CONTACTED THEM BUT NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY.

  3. Santa Fe Fashion Week™ says

    Great information

  4. Tamara Stalter says

    The photographer is good but all he does is take the photo with light composition. He literally has a team for everything, I mean EVERYTHING! I understand having a team to assist with production and hair/makeup but he don’t even retouch or actually fix the photos. I wish I had the money to set a team like that where all I do is take the photos of my ideas. This video wasn’t helpful at all to me since most of the photographers starting out don’t have a team. We build our own studio, fix our own photos, and so forth.

    Looks like a great product. Wish the price was a bit easier to swallow but I understand you got bills to pay. This might be the first thing I buy from you all.

    This shoot is complete garbage. Imagine trying to submit this to any quality magazine. What a joke.

  23. Manny G says

    4:43 lol @ beauty dish. I can tell that thing has been through hell and back. Mid video while he's introducing the beauty dish he's probably thinking like "shit I forgot to replace this damn thing."

    'Clay Cook – Fashion and Editorial Portrait Photography Tutorial ***PREVIEW***'

    Fixed it.

  45. Seth Hoyle says

    I need more gear!!!

  46. zzmoore says

    Good Grief…..and to think Annie Leibovitz gets criticized for Having/Needing lots of assistants, lights. cameras, expensive gear…..
    WTF are these guys wearing in Their Ears…????
    The frames are Cooling Looking, but all the photogs that shoot Fashion/Glamour have work looks like this.
    Its not bad, it is all very well done, but………you really need to be an Artsy-Fartsy person to get into this kind of photography. It really gets boring pretty quick.

  47. Eccentric Smithy says

    A monkey can take a picture. Its the retoucher that is the real talent here. With out that high end retoucher his images are basic at best. He cant even retouch his own photos? Yet you want us to learn something from him? Why are you hyping him up and making him bigger then what he really is? Fstoppers is really starting to take a shit. Been noticing it over the past couple years. Especially when you tried to hype up Peter Hurley. What a fiasco.

  48. Samuel James says

    If I download this off of the Pirate Bay, is it going to be a tutorial of lighting portraits in a fast food Italian bistro?
