I am a huge fan of photographers who can teach. Ones that do it with clarity and wit are a minority, however. Jason Groupp is one among them.
The first time I met Jason was at a photography convention where he patiently looked over my sample wedding albums, and played mentor for about an hour. It was a memorable discussion and we soon stayed in touch, especially as I attended workshops that his New York City studio hosted. More recently we have been in touch via Twitter. While we go back and forth about the Jets and Patriots (he is a Jets fan for some unknown reason – Ha!), he let it slip that he was producing a DVD about off-camera lighting. Now, if you have followed this blog along for some time you already know how crazy I am about learning to light – people, objects, scenes, whatever. I was intrigued but Jason kept a tight lip about it, until recently.

From Jason Groupp's website about his DVD called “25 Kick Ass Lighting Scenarios”:
“In this DVD, I will demonstrate 25 easy to remember, simple to complex, lighting setups on a LIVE SHOOT! Did I mention it will all be done with equipment that won't break your budget?
Have you ever struggled to take great portraits of your clients because you don't have decent light to shoot them in and are not comfortable with off camera lighting?
I will break down these 25 easy to use lighting setups that you can adapt and call your own. This DVD isn't about fancy hard to understand ETTL techniques, I'll show you my easy to use “shoestring TTL” techniques and how you can create your own “no excuses bag”.
Here is another clip from the DVD:

Well, today happens to be Jason Groupp‘s birthday. He won't tell me how young he is, but he did say he would offer Tiffinbox readers a great deal on his new DVD.
How would you like 50% off? Here is the code you need to use: “imaging2011” to buy 25 Kick Ass Lighting Scenarios TODAY! The deal saves you 50%. Original price: $150. Your price: $75.
It lasts through 12 midnight tonight, that's EST. So hurry!
(Want the deadline extended? Jason has this challenge for me. If at least 10 people buy the DVD today – leave a comment below saying you did and I'll verify with him – then he will have the code available to us for at least one more day. But the catch is, 10 people need to step up and buy the DVD today! Personally, I think this is a terrific deal.)
Still not convinced? (You gotta be kidding me! LOL!) Jason is offering this exclusive viewing of another episode for you to check out:
Please let me know if you purchased this DVD. I do not make a red cent off of the sale. I just think it is valuable, useful information you can put to use right away in your photography. If you did buy it and watched it, please comment below with your thoughts. I'll try and get Jason to respond to them. Thank you!

I just bought it…
Well, I *think* I ordered it. The checkout system Jason uses isn’t great (no confirmation that the coupon worked, and so far no confirmation email. After submitting the order it just bounced me back to the main page).
In any regard, looking forward to this, it looks like it’ll be some great info. Wish there was an HD download option though
Quick update to my comment: Just got an email from Jason confirming the order and the discounted price. Looking good!
Just placed an order … hope it went through, received no confirmation from the website except a URL that had the word “success” appended to it. Maybe Jason needs to add an order confirmation page. … anyway hope it went through today so I get the 50% off. Thanks for the code.
Just bought it. The confirmation page isn’t the best. But I did get a confirmation email from Jason w/t he discounted price.
Thanks Seshu, just ordered my copy!! Ready to learn some new tricks!
