He has some good ideas but he is not my type of photographer.
For my opinion the best retouching tutorials are from Nick Saglimbeni (overpriced) and Natalia Taffarel & Co.
But for lighting I would go to one of the ShootTheCenterfold seminars, overpriced also, but these guys are really full of ideas.
This Skin seminar on CreativeLive is full of wrong information. I also have the book and my opinion is that taking it for the whole truth it can only make you more problems.

there is not much to teach about lighting when you use one setup.
left, right, top, bottom…. kino flo…. :)

and retouching will not be teached at all… so i don´t know what DVD your talking about.

but “Peter Hurley – The Art behind the Headshot” is a very entertaining DVD.. that´s for sure.

If you want to learn PS even more, check out the work of Julia Kuzmenko of Omaha Image Production. She does have webinars that I truly think you can benefit from.

As for lighting techniques, it’s really one of those things that you kind of have to play with to get  better at. [FRAME] Network and their LitUp series is the most recent BTS/tutorial videos that I think is worth watching.

But it really does not get into lighting much it briefly touched upon it. And he does not talk about retouching techniques at all.

Buy Peter Hurley’s DVD. I’m pretty sure there is a banner for it on the home page of this site.

Getting quite bored with the sudden influx of photographers running lame seminars and releasing sub-par e-books and video tutorials. 

I’m not saying I’m any better, but I’m always slightly suspicious of these things when I go to the photographer’s site and get bombarded with the things he’s selling before I’ve even found the link to his work, 

In all honesty, if you’re happy to put this in your “recent work” section: http://www.varis.com/RecentWorkGalleries/galleries/LarkCamp2011/photos/Varis_110729_2038.jpg, then I’m sorry, but charging $99 to watch someone like that work is probably a bit steep.

This guy shouldn’t even be doing webinars for free, he should be watching them. The girl with the red makeup is particularly bad. Horrible shadow mismatches, splotchy skin tone, bad skin contours. If you’re going to sell a beauty retouch, you need to do a beauty retouch.

When I buy a product, do I get 3x8hrs worth of video – the whole lecture series without any benefit of editing and time lapse? I have a hard time coming up with 3 hours to watch a movie, let alone 3 days.
