Photovision (www.photovisionvideo.com)  is an educational resource for the professional photographer, and is the brainchild of photographer Ed Pierce.

I had the privilege of attending one of Ed’s seminars in Memphis earlier this year – “Captivated By The Light“. Pun completely intended, it was one of the most illuminating seminars I’ve attended to date. Ed spoke at great length about the importance of correct colour in our work, how to achieve accurate colour, and about the quality of great lighting.

At the seminar, I also signed up for Photovision – an annual membership program for professional photographers. Every two months a new 2 hour DVD arrives in my mailbox, which I have to confess I usually watch the same day if I can. The videos on the DVD include studio tours of successful photographers, interviews with photographers about techniques, sales & marketing, and news of new technologies and important software updates, such as the latest edition of Photoshop, Lightroom etc.

As a wedding and portrait photographer, I’ve found these DVDs to be totally invaluable. I can see into the lives of some of the world’s top photographers, observe their techniques and learn how they manage the complex workflow that digital photography has brought with it. I can honestly say that I’ve learned a great deal from these DVDs and I always look forward to receiving the next one in the mail.

I would highly recommend these to any professional photographer, or to someone considering becoming a professional photographer.
