But you feel free to instruct people on lighting and photography?
I don\'t \"instruct\" people.
I merely show what techniques I use. I state that these techniques have resulted in image sales for me. If I were instructing, I would say that this is the \"Right\" way to do it. I would point out what is the \"Wrong\" way. And, I would state that these techniques will result in great photos. But this is not what I do. Again, I merely state that this is what I do, and that clients may buy photos if you were to use similar techniques.
And, it should be noted, a person does not have to be an \"expert\" for someone to learn something from them. If the amateurs on Model Mayhem were to post videos of their setups I\'d be the first one to watch and learn from those videos. I have even learned from watching models shoot each other on their cell phones in my studio. I\'ve learned from watching how they put each other at ease when they shoot and I\'ve adopted some of their techniques into my own shoots.
I do title some of my videos as \"photographic tutorial\" but that is merely a keyword to generate more views from people searching for that term. The tone of the videos is not \"instructional\" they way an instructional video that you might pay for is.
