What students are saying

“This is a glorious course. It has opened my eyes to see what is possible when you look at your images in a storytelling way. Everything about this course was positive and inspiring. I have learned so much from doing the assignments and getting Brit’s in depth reviews and can thoroughly recommend it.” — Sho

“I used to think of a photograph as a singular event. This course has greatly expanded my approach; to use multiple photos to allow viewers to piece together their own story. A lot more fun. Thanks for expanding and challenging my approach to photography.” — Bernard B.

“This class was exactly what I needed. It really helped focus and define my approach to lifestyle photography! I also love your style of teaching.” — Beth

“You demonstrated so many different ways to include loved ones without having them posed and looking uncomfortable.“ — Heather

“I love your teaching style.” — Sue

“I really like how you find different stories in an image, different ways of looking at the same thing.” — Richard

“I just wanted to thank you for another wonderful class. I have to confess that each week when I read the new assignment, my first reaction was mild panic and a deep certainty that I would not be able to produce anything worthwhile that fit within the parameters you had set. But before I knew it, the ideas started to flow, and I quickly became obsessed (no, that isn’t too strong a word!) with exploring the possibilities. I can honestly say that the photos I produced in response to your assignments are among my favorites. Thanks for bringing out a creative side I didn’t know I had!”

Understanding Color

“Thank you so very much for this course! It’s allowed me to take the blinders off and present my images for what I want them to be without being a slave to the “reality” of the camera. I would also add that in conjunction with your printing course, this has been the most useful course I’ve ever taken. Your notes are more than comprehensive and your comments and critiques are direct, clear, and always directed to the improvement of the art.”

” I want to thank you for this class and for your patience and availability to answer all of my questions. I have learned very much through this class. I have used LR in the past, but mostly for editing images. I now have a better grasp in the organization of my images, an even better understanding of editing images, and an understanding of the value of presets. I still have a lot to learn, but this has put me on the road to be able to improve my photography. Again, thank you! ”
