As a college professor who has taught various levels of photography since 1981 I have seen a lot of videotapes on photography of various types, and I don't recall anything as bad as this videotape. The only reason I keep the videotape at all is to show it as an example of how NOT to do a videotape or go about a photo shoot. The segment with the sea-turtle was disgusting and uncalled for. If this tape is purchased for the sole purpose of gawking at nude women then it might be ok, but if the intent is to actually learn something about photography, save your money and look elsewhere.

As a photographer I can not remember the last time I sat on the beach in my bathrobe during a shoot. If I acted as this guy does in his instructional video I am sure I would be sued or thrown in jail for abusing animals. This work is a travesty and a mockery to photographers.

I can't think of anything good to say about this video. Even the most rudimentary things where not explained in any detail, i.e. "cameras and lenses are vulnerable". Duh! Lots of filler segments with no commentary whatsoever, let alone good photographic advice. The few photographic techniques mentioned were not adequately explained, and not one photograph was explained in complete detail. Then there was the awful "capture a sea turtle" segment - again, no photgraphic commentary. The viewer might get some artistic ideas from watching it, but the same would result from about an hour of surfing the web. Horrid example: comments about indoor bounce flash lighting were made during an outdoor shoot. Amazon needs a ZERO stars rating for this one.
