10 years ago Chelsea & I made a 7-hour photography training DVD/BluRay series. A lot has changed in photography since then (you'll see a lot of HDR in this video haha), but the fundamentals have stayed the same, and these lessons are still valid.

I think the timing is good because YouTube and TikTok have degraded the study of the art of photography down to clickbait and 30-second “tips”. This is a structured and thorough lesson. Bookmark it, put your phone down and pay attention. Your time will pay off.

If you think others should learn the fundamentals of photography, please share this video.
