Turned my best wedding into three inquiries.
I finally understood what editors want. The three‑view approach made my detail galleries sing, and the vendor credit system saved headaches later.
I can actually use to elevate my work.
As someone who’s been shooting for years, I thought I had the basics down. But Lesson 2 on studying the masters was a game-changer. It opened my eyes to references I can actually use to elevate my work.
I know where I want my photography to go.
I loved how honest Paolo was about his own struggles. The exercises gave me direction without feeling overwhelming. For the first time, I feel like I know where I want my photography to go.
Finally, I'm building a portfolio that actually feels like mine.
My photos were technically solid but lacked personality. Paolo’s story about refusing to be a ‘commodity’ hit home. Now I am building a portfolio that actually feels like mine, not a copy of everyone else’s.
I am excited to start again!
I thought style was something only professionals figured out after years. Paolo made it approachable. I left this class knowing what excites me most and how to show that in my work.
Super helpful.
Loved the way Perrin explains things, very chill and relatable. I used to be intimidated by gear talk, but he breaks it down in a way that makes total sense. Super helpful.
My photos look completely different now
I never thought a class on landscape photography would be so practical. Perrin makes everything feel accessible, even if you’re just using a basic DSLR. My photos look completely different now!
real and practical
As someone already shooting professionally, I wasn’t sure how much I’d learn—but wow, this was packed. Ivan’s insight on styling and model communication is spot-on. Loved how real and practical everything felt. I’ve already used his editing tips on my last client shoot.
It made me fall in love with fashion photography a little.
I usually just shoot for fun, but now my friends say my portraits look like magazine covers. Ivan makes it feel easy and inspiring. Honestly, it made me fall in love with fashion photography a little.
This class gave me the confidence to direct models and plan shoots like a pro.
I have finally learned how to direct models properly, and I have been using Ivan’s lighting tips for weeks now. Clients love the results. Worth it!
