Go Behind the Scenes with “The Anatomy of a Production Day”
Gain valuable insights and a full documentation of a real and typical production day of mine.
Even though a lot of tutorials out there are showing lighting setups or how certain looks, styles and moods are produced they are missing out on very important details! And I made it my mission to change this.
You get to see a full production day from A to Z! I reveal the production process from concept to planning to execution! Based on team effort, yet founded on my art direction, photography and production management.
It does not matter whether you are working in a larger or smaller scale – the process and the involved topics are always the same! Observe, feel and learn from this extremely detailed glam & artNUDE production by following my single steps.

I invited the Russian fine art nude photographer Olga Zavershinskaya to join me for the purpose of collaboration on this project. Her shooting style is pretty different compared to mine.
Olga is an internationally published and award-winning fine art nude photographer while I am a well-selling and published commercial sexy women shooter.
As you will discover, the differences are obvious in the outcome. We most definitely see things from very diverse points of view 😉
Get Triple Value: Video & eBook
Yet “only” relying on the video involves certain difficulties: Shortly thereafter I can’t remember all the figures & lists anymore. Then I have to search around quite a bit in order to find the exact few frames where the desired info was shown…it’s annoying – at least for me.
The enclosed eBook is a most convenient solution to have all figures, light sets and gear lists readily available! Browse through data and imagery in a fast way and always stay connected with the right shot. I even added some more topics into the guide as they greatly complement the video!

This tutorial is absolutely superb! An excellent opportunity to see how a professional photographer works in a real production. All at a very affordable price. I can only say thank you Dan.
Hi Jose,
thanks a lot for purchasing my latest tut! And for the comment here! Great you get your insights and info out of it.
You are most welcome 🙂
It’s been two years since I became interested in glamour and nude photography. I have been looking for online resources to learn about this topic not having had much luck. Right now I’m very happy to have found you and I would like to encourage you to continue with this task. Thanks again.
Dan’s Tutorial “Anatomy of a Production Day'” is fantastic. While guides for lighting and posing are numerous, no one has put together a tutorial on what it takes to put together a day long photoshoot. Dan’s venture into this uncharted territory is comprehensive, well organized and easy to follow. Though one might initially think an e-book AND a video is overkill, that is not the case. While there is overlap between the two, they are really intended to be complimentary rather than redundant. The video contains footage illustrating how both of these excellent photographers interact with models on set, while the e-book gives more detail about the planning documents.
As an experienced photographer with several years of experience in shooting models, the one thing I’ve struggled with is the organization of my shoots. Dan’s tutorial has given me a model that I can adapt to my shooting needs. This is definitely a must for any photographer who has aspirations of shooting nudes professionally. Highly recommended.

Hello Joe,
thanks a lot for purchasing my latest tutorial and your review!
I am very happy you like the concept & content. And I would like to thank you for an extensive review & overview the same time.
Very helpful and appreciated!
Best,
Dan
I have to tell you that I normally buy a lot of video tutorials so I can keep getting better in my work, and your video is one of the best that I have seen so far. First of all, great idea to implement the two different approaches (yours and Olga’s) and this way you added a lot more value to the video. Also you are very explicit with the light settings, modifiers, equipment and techniques used, this is great for all levels photographers because everyone can relate with the tutorial and get a more vivid experience. And finally, the main reason why I bought your tutorial is because of the Production and logistic part, and you surpass completely my expectations, I’m blown with your guidance for this part which is one of my weakest one right now in my work. I use to create mood boards and then talk in the phone with my team, but now I will dedicate more quality time to the production and planning so my shooting days goes as smooth as possible.
Dan, you’re a amazing professional and photographer, but also very inspirational. I’m very happy that I got this tutorial and I will recommend to all my friends.
I downloaded zip file, clicked on it and got a cpgz file, clicked on it and got a zip file, clicked on it a got a cpgz file but no video???
How do i make this work (mac). Wayne
Hello Wayne, i had the same problem but i was able to extract the video from a windows based computer using Winrar software.
Hi Wayne (and Edward),
I did a research and found this: http://osxdaily.com/2013/02/13/open-zip-cpgz-file/
I believe the basic problem is that the ZIP got not downloaded fully.I’ve sent you a private email.Thanks for a reply on my email.
Dan
…probably not a corrupted download just a “handling” problem with certain combination of browsers and MacOS – solution approach that talks about the same “The Unarchiver,” http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120326045439340

I’ve been following Dan’s work since he started his blog.
I’ve downloaded all the stuff he published. Excellent materials, presented in a clear and concise way and full of valuable information.
When I downloaded the “Anatomy of a Production Day” I was expecting something very good. It surpassed my expectations!
It is superb! It is the best Dan’s tutorial!
The technical (gear, lighting,…) and artistic aspects (inspiration, creativity, mood, composition, poses…) are, as usual, very well presented. And more!
This time Dan’s approaches the organizational aspects! He presents planning, budgeting and workflow with all the detail. He shares a kind of information that normally is only available to those who are in the professional environment. Information that is not easily obtained.
All the aspects are presented in a organized and rational way that facilitates comprehension.
Additionally we are presented with two different artistic visions. Dan has a very good partner photographing with him: Olga Zavershinskaya.
The video is very well complemented with the e-book. It is nice watch the video in one screen and have the e-book opened in an other one.
Besides all that the “Anatomy of a Production Day” is an oportunity to see a very good team working in a very pleasant environment. A team of professional people that love what they do!
And of course there is a model in the middle of it all! An angel whose name is Coxy Dominika!
There are many video tutorials on the market on the basics of photography and this one is terrific. I really liked the section on planning the shoot. I’ve never seen a training series that goes from the meeting with the talent, hair and makeup team all the way through to getting the shots done within budget and time limits. It really shows all that’s involved with doing a professional production. I would like to see a training class that focuses on planning and budgeting. How do you find and work with locations, models, hair and makeup personal?
Hello Jeffrey, thanks a lot for purchasing the tutorial!
“Planning and Budgeting”: Great idea! I just put that on my to-do list. Either as article, free video or part of a new tutorial, because…
I have a new Outdoor Shoot Tut in the pipeline yet that is about artistic nudes where no MUA etc will be involved. I feel that will be not quite the place where we can talk/show extensively about planning those details (location, weather etc., yes).
Anyhow, it’s noted. Thanks a lot for the input!
Best, Dan
