Manny has a clear and precise teaching style and his teaching is backed by live photo shoots where you can see him in action as he applies the techniques presented.The Ultimate Photographer is divided into 3 main sections: Composition, Using Flash and Lighting. The main focus is lighting, and lighting is at the core of great photography. He covers the use of flash (on and off camera) for lighting, as well as, studio lighting. Manny explains the how and why of each lighting scenario in nice easy to understand details. There are couple of spots where he uses advance lighting terms prior to them being explained, make a note of the terms, hang in there, and he will clear it all up by the end of "The Ultimate Photographer". However, there are some basic photography concepts, rules and techniques he assumes the viewer has. If your formal photography background is weak then I would recommend you watch Manny's beginning DVD sets: "Jump Start Your Photography" and "The Skilled Photographer" where these concepts and techniques are explained in detail.To sum it up, this latest set of DVDs from Manny's "Get The Picture" will have you looking at lighting all around you in a whole new dimension, as well as, how to form it and control it to the way you want your clients/viewers to see it in your photographs.Here are some of the topics covered in "The Ultimate Photographer"- Viewers Eye Path- Rules of Dynamic Symmetry- Four Points Of Interest- Emotional Impact of Composition- Portable Light Kits- Adding Flash To Existing Light- Light Ratio and How to Control It- 6 Core Light Patterns- Visualizing Light PatternsManny has created a series of DVDs to bring you from a "point and shoot" picture taker to being a real pro at taking photographs. They are designed to be watched over and over. Once you have watched them all the way through, you will be able to jump right to the section you want to review and brush up on. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Clear instructions but REALLY boring *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2013* I wanted to love this, but I could barely stay awake. The instructions are clear but the presenter is so dry and devoid of personality, it's like I'm back in high school calculus. I basically had trouble getting much out of it as a result. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2014* I am a total novice just getting started in DSLR photography, and I wanted to shorten the learning curve a bit, so I decided to order the "Jump start your photography" DVD set. I can honestly say that Manny does a superb job of giving the viewer the "how and why" of every aspect that he covers in these DVD's. I was so impressed that I ordered the other two sets "The Skilled Photographer" and "The Ultimate Photographer" immediately after viewing the first set! I now totally understand the M settings on my camera and am already starting to capture MUCH better pictures through applying what I learned about composition and lighting. Thank you Manny for making such comprehensive and easy to understand instructional videos! I will be buying more of Manny's instructional DVD's once I have practiced and become more proficient in what I have learned so far....NOTE: It is best to view these in the intended order to avoid getting lost or overwhelmed with what is being taught, especially if you are new to DSLR photography like me. I have watched all 3 sets and feel that Manny has shaved years off of my learning curve to becoming a skilled photographer with an understanding of how to "get the picture" that I am trying to capture. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/15356153-the-ultimate-photographer-set](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/15356153-the-ultimate-photographer-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
