The following video tutorials and book are NOT for free
…but I can assure you they will be a valuable and more detailed and extensive addition to my free tutorials listed above:
- The 424 pages eBook From Basics to Fine Art – Black and white photography, architecture and beyond, written by me and co-author Julia Anna Gospodarou and that’s already considered by many to be the best book on black and white fine art photography in years. Or read some of the reviews listed below yourself:
- A review in one of Seattle’s best-known newspapers Seattle PI
- Review on a renowned site for blogs: reviewsblogcritics.org
- Review by black and white photographer and educator Antony Northcutt
- Digital Photography School (DPS) review
- Read more convincing reviews here
- A review in one of Seattle’s best-known newspapers Seattle PI
- A 3.5 hour Black and White Post processing Speed Workflow video tutorial that is an evolved version of my iSGM method of black and white post processing of fine-art photographs and will not only speed up your processing time but also make it even more controlled and subtle as compared to my older iSGM workflow. Click here for more info on this new video or here to purchase the video. This latest video (December 2014 released) can be used as a stand alone version or as an add-on to the older 2.5 hour B&W long exposure masterclass video tutorial
- A 2.5 hour B&W long exposure masterclass video tutorial (released May 2013) with an extensive explanation on my iSGM (iterative Selective Gradient Masking) black and white processing method. Safe to say that this video that has been released in May 2013 and even 1.5 years after its release still is selling well and on its way to become a classic. You can read dozens of testimonials here and if you look around the Internet on photo sharing sites and wonder how they created all those wonderful architectural photos, most of them have been utilising my specific method of iSGM black and white post processing and many have won major international awards using this specific method.
- The two black and white post processing videos as mentioned above are now also available as a Video bundle with a discounted bundle price – two videos for the price of the Masterclass Video tutorial.
- A 2.5 hour Video tutorial on visualisation and vision as essential tools for creating fine-art photos
