We met a couple of years ago at Bellevue Botanical Gardens when you and Scott were helping Dan Achatz with a class. I bought Scott’s ebook back when Dan was teaching me real estate photography because he recommended it. I ended up having to take a “day job” with a non-profit, but full time photography has always been my goal and I’m determined to make it work this time. However, being on a budget, I can’t jump on yours and Scott’s new video even though it looks fantastic!!! My question is, how much more is in the video than the ebook I already have? Is this on real estate video, or still photography? I have a 5D MK11, but I have zero interest in video. (I want to become an expert in still before I try adding anything else!) I just pulled up his book since I haven’t looked at it for quite a while and plan to re-read since lighting has always been my biggest challenge.
Thanks Malia, all the best to you in the new year!! Lee Tenneboe
Hi Lee! The video is about shooting real estate photography (no video) with multiple, off camera flashes. I’d say it depends on your learning style – if you’re able to learn from reading then the e-book would be a great choice for you. If you’re more of a visual learner then I’d go for the video. There’s a lot of “put the flash here and not here…” type examples. The video is a little more recent than the book, too.
