Course Overview

I have been wanting to do this course for a long time. I think these types of photos, well done, can really help start a career as a photographer. It is a mix of portrait and landscapes. In this course you will see all the behind the scenes, the shoots, get the raw files and learn all the retouching. I did this entire training using very simple and inexpensive gear: a flash, stands and a remote for around 300 dollars.
