Mystique photographer Mark Daughn is now revealing his secrets and techniques in a new series of instructional DVDs. These DVDs are perfect for all levels of photographers, from someone who just began or is about to, to practicing professionals.
For the past eleven years, photographer Mark Daughn has been creating the unique look and feel of the images in Mystique Magazine. In addition to Mystique, he has published pictorials in Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler, as well as many of the top women’s fashion magazines. And top clothing companies have paid him mega bucks to create national ad campaigns for them.
Mark got his start in fashion photography, which gives him a unique perspective on how he approaches glamour photography.
Students pay thousands of dollars to take private lessons from him, some even flying to the United States from Europe and Australia just to attend one of his workshops.
But Mark understands not everyone can afford to attend a private workshop, so he is now sharing his decades of experience in a new series of affordable glamour photography DVDs.
