Understanding Composition: Beyond the Basics

Thank you for a fantastic course! Your instruction was inspiring, and your critiques of my images really helped me start to see the details in my compositions, and to work harder at perfecting each photo. Thanks again for a great class, I enjoyed it very much!

Kerry, your composition class has been fantastic! It was just what I needed to get me out of my photographic funk. Your written lessons with fabulous photos and Bryan’s videos were excellent. I found your critiques of my own and other students’ work extremely valuable. Thanks for being such a great teacher!

Thank you very much for such a wonderful and challenging course on composition. You are a Triple A instructor! The lessons, assignments and critiques really boosted my creativity, and I learned about my flaws and my strengths. Kerry, you were always readily available even though we are miles apart, in different time zones. I also enjoyed the company of other course participants and the interactions we developed. Understanding Composition: Beyond the Basics helped me reach a new level. Thank you!

–Jacques Fleury


Thank you, Kerry, for a really good class! Your perceptive (yet gentle) critiques have really helped. I’m hopefully now sweating the small stuff better! And thanks to my fellow students for sharing some great pics and also sharing their learning opportunities with the rest of us.

I really enjoyed this course on composition a lot and learned again as always! Have just been through some more of your critiques for others in class – I also love to learn by seeing work of classmates. A big “thank you” for a great four weeks! You are always kind and never discouraging! This has been wonderful and helps a lot!!

– Séverine Blaise


Thank you so much for your critiques. You had a large class, but you managed to interact with each of us as though the class were small. I appreciate all the time you spent on my work. BPSOP provides me with education and professional critiques, but it also pushes me to get out there to deliver the best, fresh images I’m capable of, rain or shine. Thank you, Kerry, and thanks to BPSOP!

– Mike Ferrari


This course certainly taught me to compose differently, to look for color, contrast, and a theme to each picture. Sometimes I have very little time but I just “keep shooting”. Thank you so much for your time, Kerry!
