In his Advanced Photography Techniques DVD, Michael Andrew, a.k.a. Michael The Maven, has taken the very best content from his workshops of the same name and compiled it into a single comprehensive training program. This is a collection of tips and tricks Michael has learned over the course of 10 years, including all the little things that add up to a great image. Unlike his many other DVDs, this is not a crash course for beginners. Geared towards the intermediate or advanced photographer, it assumes a working knowledge of a camera and is designed to enable the improvement of skills. At the end of the video, Michael takes you on a modeling shoot and actually explains his thought process and shooting strategy as he works.
