I’ve teamed up with Fstoppers.com to produce a series of premium quality video tutorials.
Over the years, I’ve teamed up with Fstoppers.com to produce a series of premium video tutorials and educational resources. We traveled to Iceland, New Zealand, Italy, Singapore, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Dubai and parts of North and South America, so we could teach every aspect of Landscape, Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Post-processing.
Each edition of Photographing The World is a digital download and comes with every single raw file and PSD so you can easily recreate each lesson from start to finish. Lessons take place both in-the-field and then move into the post-processing phase, covering everything from scouting and shooting each location as well as how to edit the images and create truly compelling visual imagery.
From waterfalls and ice caves in Iceland, to the timeless architecture of Rome Italy, to the top of Victoria Peak in ultra-modern Hong Kong, and even under the dark star-filled skies of New Zealand, Photographing the World has something for everyone interested in dramatically improving their landscape, cityscape, astrophotography, and post-processing. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned professional, there is certainly something valuable you can learn from this diverse collection of tutorials. Click on each thumbnail to find out more.
