Review of the '365 Days of Photography' course

August 29, 2024

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

February 21, 2024

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. I read many useful advices to improve my photographic skills. I enjoy also photo contests in which I took part and so glad I sometimes won because I’m only an amateur photographer which takes her photos with mobile.

Such a great website for learning about photography!

I have found this website to be useful again and again in answering questions I have about photography. I even ended up downloading and using some of their presets which have been great. There is loads of great advice and it feels like a real community of photographers keen to support each other.
