There is, or was, a series of pro photography 'magazine' segments that were
interesting. Called Photovision, produced by Ed Pierce. It started out as
a VHS tape, with 3 or 4 segments. Now they sell best of DVDs
A lot pros don't care for them, the demos are to simplistic, the script is
awkward, amateurish, stilted, and the products of the sponsors are pushed to
obviously.
However, that said, for those who don't have access to state and national
convention programs, nor can afford the expense or time of a weeklong
workshop, you get little snippets of some of the better photogs, most are
found on the convention stages, only you get to see them in their own
studios and locations. I think the best value is the little things that you
see and hear in the background, the way they set up their studio.
There is a link in the z-prophoto mailing list at yahoogroups.com, I'd look
for used sets on ebay.
I don't know what Monte Zucker has on line anymore, since most of the site
went pay per view, but he used to have a lot of articles and lectures, demo
tutorials on line, and it was all word for word what he says and does at
live workshops. that's zuga.net
