Twig & Olive Educational Videos
Many photographers and creatives identify as visual learners. When a PDF just won’t cut it for you, then you’ll want to check out the many educational videos we have available. These are the same techniques that we use with our own clients, so we know they work!
We cover all the big subjects in each video, talking through each part of our process, so you understand exactly why we do what we do, and you can see the results for yourself.
If these leave you wanting more, More, MORE, then you’re going to want to check out our Editing Academy, where we release weekly videos that teach shooting, editing, and workflow techniques.
