A few very good YouTube tutorials

If you have an interest in studio photography, these are pretty good. I like this guy's stuff, and he explains things pretty well to a neophyte. Obvious product placement, (Broncolor), but, hey, somebody has to make a living. He sells tutorials, but these are of very high quality for the free pricing. There's a few more on YouTube. Check out his website for more.

I am very amateur, but this video spells so many things out very simply about how to make decent portraits, and people photos. The rest of his vids are top notch. Dude is cool.
