David Ziser’s videos on Vimeo (http://vimeo NULL.com/user468120/videos) and Viddler (http://www NULL.viddler NULL.com/explore/ziser/videos/). Lots of videos to poke thru – posing, lighting, editing. Remember that a wedding portrait is like a regular portrait only with a fancy, wear-it-once dress. Vimeo does have a search feature for David’s videos. "Portrait" returns at least 16 videos. Viddler search doesn’t work that well.
