Loving these weekly photo themes
I’ve always had a great phone camera but never knew how to make the most of it—until this course. The lessons on camera settings, composition, and editing were simple to follow and made such a difference.
Unlock your phone's full potential
I used to think my phone camera had too many limitations, but this course proved me wrong. The practical tips for framing, using angles, and editing took my photos to a whole new level. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to unlock their phone’s full potential!

This course is perfect if you’re looking to push your boundaries
I already knew the basics of Ps, but the compositing techniques taught here were a game-changer. The lessons on blending images seamlessly, matching lighting, and adding realistic details took my editing skills to the next level. It was exciting to step out of my usual workflow and create something completely new and artistic.
I'm more confident now after taking this course
Taya didn’t just teach techniques, she inspired me to be confident. I now approach self-portrait photography with a sense of purpose. If you want to blend technical growth with self-discovery, this course is worth every second.
Smartphone Photography Course
I am a camera guy all my life until smartphones came into existence with amazing cameras built in. I started the Smartphone course 25 weeks ago to further my knowledge of what they can do. This course has a great instructor name Perrin, who uses videos for each lesson with examples to follow. Lessons like panorama, abstract, B/W, landscapes or new ideas of shooting rainy days, patterns, vintage and more. One of the best lesson for me was editing with other programs. Perin also critique your work with positive input and how to improve your photos. I now use my smartphone for opportunity’s for photos when I am out and about when not using my camera.
Review of the '365 Days of Photography' course
I loved the ‘365 Days of Photography’ course. When it ended, I was sad. Being from Brazil, who loves simplicity, I ended up getting to know Thailand thanks to Professor Kevin Landwer-Johan, an exotic, beautiful and simple country. I was enchanted by the images and the course. Thank you very much Professor Kevin.
