Inspired Tethered Videography Setup: Eddie Tapp

This article was written by Eddie Tapp for the Better When You Tether series of articles by professional photographers who experience the benefits of shooting tethered in various shooting environments.

Background On The Shoot

“Shooting tethered video takes the guess work out of production and editing. Clients are impressed with a tethered shoot and once they experience the production value, will request the same each time.” – Eddie Tapp

The shoot was for a series of 10 educational videos instructed by photographer Judy Host with topics such as “How to get started in a career of photography”, “What equipment do I start with?” and “What do I need to know when photographing children?” The shoot was the “talking head” part of the instructional videos that will be released once a month for MyPix.com photographic lab.
