    These videos are so professionally produced that it is easy not to appreciate the skills and effort that has gone in to them. The use of different camera angles in the studio combine with feeds from the monitor etc is seamless. Not to mention that the content of these videos is outstanding and the explanations could not be clearer. I’m sure many of us would benefit from an overview of the main equipment you use in the studio and what people should consider to get started. Apologies if you have already done some content on this already.

    Another excellent video. I noticed you are using an older camera. Could you maybe speak to the specifications needed for quality images? Today's world seems to be racing for the latest and greatest in camera specifications. It seems your techniques are more centered around lighting and skill.
