    Sean is a great photographer and instructor. Information was logically organized, well presented, and easy to follow with lots of nuggets along the way. He even shares the works and names of other photographers who he admires, which I think is awesome. I got through the entire course in one evening, including rewinding several times and pausing to catch my notes up. Photography is only a hobby for me – at least for now – and I’m a novice who is now applying his techniques, and what a difference they make! My only negative is that Sean states his Sony camera model # and the name of an editing app rather quickly, and I wasn’t able to catch either of them. I’m considering upgrading my Sony, so this info would’ve been helpful. However, both are minor matters, as they’re somewhat of an aside. Therefore, I highly recommend this course!
