Here’s what people have
to say about this course:
“This is what I needed! I am a beginner and I was tired of looking for YouTube videos not even knowing what I really had to find.”
“I just watched the first one on Aperture and wow! It makes so much sense! This is the best thing I’ve ever read/seen on f/stops and what aperture does. Now I’m just rarin’ to go out there and experiment with shooting semi-automatic!”
“Yosef, Thank you so much for offering this course. Your teaching style is so refreshing!! You hold my attention with your sense of humor, your clever way of delivering information and your ability to NOT make me want to run away or go do laundry instead of spending the better part of my day watching module 2. I look forward to revisiting every module time and time again!”
“Just finished the lighting module and it was amazing! I’ve been doing photography for a couple of years and taken some classes but this course just brought it all together.”
