The Best of Dean Collins on Lighting DVD set features the late Dean Collins, one of the most celebrated educators of lighting and camera techniques in the industry. This DVD set teaches lighting and composition with easy to understand techniques created by the grand master of professional photography. It's about timeless concepts that impact the quality of the final photograph, whether captured on film or by digital. Over 6 hours of training on four DVD video discs. This program is a digital remix of the original Dean Collins Lighting Videos.

8 Discs with very good Lighting Information.
What's On It?
The first disc is a discussion about lighting gear -- what you need, how it works, syncing options, etc. This is for the inevitable people who will be watching the series without having read Lighting 101.
