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.

Great Big Photography World is a great photography site where, if you are a photographer lover, you can learn so much about all photographic genres and many tips and tricks.
