Liked this because yes he made it look easy , but he gave us the confidence that with practice ,we too can do it easy ... now let me go tell myself this over and over whilst I figure out my flash transmitter / receiver system without losing hair and hair pigment, whilst my model (my doggo) goes AWOL . How to deal with Models? I will keep referring to the info given . More of this thanks .

Great value and very informative. The part which I've liked most was the one where you were trying to replicate other photos and putting all the course knowledge into play.

Yes it's a good match as I have been using both natural and artificial light in taking photographs, but studio lighting is a subject I've always wanted to explore.

This course was perfect for my level: Just beyond beginner, starting studio photography. Will's explanations were clear and informative with just the right amount of detail. Not every setting, or every piece of equipment, which would be intimidating. As he says at the end, it's a great base to start attempting more advanced lighting techniques.

GREAT COURSE!!! Absolutely suggested to both beginners in artificial lighting and also to whom already knows how to use flash and strobes. When I started the course, I had just purchased my first flash, and I did not really know about the vast world of creative possibilities that artificial lighting offers. During the course I learnt how to use light to create different moods, how to control light intensity and I got a lot of inspiration for many new creative ideas! The course is very well explained, clear and fun to follow. 5 STARS, for sure!
