This is one of those things that seperates people who have studied photography for years and those that just bought a camera and thought they'd open a content production company. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out what they were doing and I wondered why others haven't started doing it. And then...it dawned on me. Most content producers that I see out there today (notice I said most...not all) have no formal photography training. They bought a camera, a few lights and maybe a photography book or took a class. That's fine and all but when it comes to figuring out some technical shit like this - they're completely lost. I'm not knocking these guys - some of them do quite well financially and have no desire to be great photographers. If I spilled the beans about PerfectGonzo's techniques right now - these guys would be doing those techniques tomorrow and the next thing you know everybody and their brother would be doing them.

So for now....I'm gonna keep it to myself and let PerfectGonzo get the credit that they deserve for coming up with some groundbreaking techniques that none of the rest of you thought about
Very well written! Read and learn content providers!!!
