Great Photography tutorials

There are a number of great things about being a photographer today. Perhaps the greatest thing is the ability to learn from other photographers with ease. In particular a number of great photographers are posting informative tutorials online; many of which are in video format on YouTube.

To get you started I thought I'd introduce my top 3 photography tutorial video sources:

1)
PhotoGavin



This guy is great. He is constantly uploading tutorials related to taking photos AND working with photos in photoshop. Well worth a look.

2)
FroKnows



Jared Polin is a bit more all over the place than Gavin but is just as good in his own way. You'll find he focuses a bit more on technology and emphasises in camera framing over post processing. I am a personal fan of the in camera framing approach that Jared takes although I am somewhat less hardline.

3)
FontanaKnowledge



Here you will find clear descriptions of important concepts and a few techniques for low light shooting. All the information is presented in an unfailingly friendly manner.

BONUS:
MarcSilber



Easily the most hit and miss of the bunch. Marc will often interview photographers who are respected in their fields. While this diverse approach is a strength in that you will be exposed to a number of viewpoints it is also a weakness in that themes are seldom developed on. Also be wary of advertising in these videos. In the early days there was some clear and heavy sponsorship from Sandisk. It seems to have been toned down now though.
