Question Are there any websites you can recommend where I may view very good photography training videos? I don't always have time to go to a photography school, photography seminars or take any online courses. I would just like to have access to very well done online photography training videos, especially if there are any available for free. Thanks.
Answer Hello Bill,
Thank you for your question about online photography training videos. There are actually a good number of websites where you may find photography training videos. YouTube has a lot of training videos available for free. However, there are also a lot of online photography training videos there which are very amateurish, don't really have the information you may expect or which are just not even what they are suppose to be. A few number of online photography training videos sometimes even have false or outdated information. It can sometimes take awhile searching the internet to find truly professional quality video productions which are both educational, current and free when it comes to photography training.
I own and operate Raw Photo Factory at http://www.rawphotofactory.com We have searched the internet and have found and embedded some decent quality online photography training videos which we feel are fairly professional, entertaining and present valuable information to aspiring photographers. Just visit our video page at http://www.rawphotofactory.com/videos.html
If you don't find the information you are looking for in those photography training videos, just email me at Raw Photo Factory and I will see about getting that posted on our video page as soon as possible. Email link is on the video page. Also just let us know if you can't find an online photography training video you would like to see. We are probably going to produce a handful of instructional photography videos with printed training materials and make those available for a modest fee in the coming months. Let me know if you might be interest in that as well.
Thanks again for your photography question about online training videos.
