Question Tutorial Photography

Recently I've purchased several tutorials and been very pleased with the instruction I've found in each. All covered so much extra technique help than I expected to receive that I wish I didn't have to ask this of some authors. Good photo examples of the details of instruction are critical to a successful lesson in bead making. When taking photos please think of the student and make the shots zoom in as much as possible. If the technique being demonstrated requires that very exacting placement of hair thin stringers be made, for instance, it would help tremendously to be able to see it from a vantage point similar to that of the bead maker demonstrating the technique. I know that making a bead and making a tutorial at the same time requires a bit of juggling, but if you are going to ask people to pay for your expertise then it doesn't seem out of line to expect the tutorial to be done in as professional a manner as possible so that the purchaser can expect, with practice of course, to be able to duplicate the artist's results. The majority of images I've downloaded and printed are mouth watering stunning and do qualify as bead porn. I'm curious to know if I am the only one who has this problem or are others occasionally disappointed or having problems with images in the tutorials they purchase.
