Photography Tutorials in my Stock Account

...Trying to collapse years of experiements into 20,000 pixels x 800 pixels...

I recently wrote a tutorial on "how to shoot stock" for my stock account.

It is here:


The "shoot stock" tutorial has a number of illustrations of the kind of set-ups I use for lighting, as well as pictures of my studio.

Today I posted another tutorial on "photographic lighting". It's a workthrough of experiments with lights ranging my my expensive pro studio flash pack to some $55 light heads I bought on Ebay. In it, I try to demonstrate the way I like to think about photography; a synthesis of intuitive play and methodical trial-and-error by varying a single parameter.

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving.

Why can't more tutorials be like this? This is so useful and well written. While it is all common sense, as Bertrand Russell said, "What's so common about common sense?".
