    Straight to the Point and Informative

    5.0

    After trying to watch YouTube videos to learn how to start using the camera I invested in and being totally lost, I almost gave away my camera, prime lenses, and accessories because I never thought I would get it. Looking for courses here was my last resort. Jellis is a wonderful instructor. Nothing is rushed or drawn out. Necessary information is given succinctly with helpful examples. I took notes for future reference. I was able to follow along with my camera and see how different settings affected the photo. The next day, I took some photos of my daughter blowing milk bubbles just applying what I learned about aperture and shared it with my family. My brother who has been doing professional photography the past 4 years was impressed! I love this course and will view it again. Great work! I’m in love with my camera now 🥰

    Amazing Course

    5.0

    The course was very informative and amazing. I learned so much detail from this. Of all the knowledge gained from this course, I have gained so much more respect of taking photos. Learning the different types of lenses, aperture, shutter speed, etc… has really opened a whole book that a lot of people might not know. I truly recommend this course for others who are just starting photography!

    I took this course to refresh my memory on many of the basics of good photography. This course met my expectations, and I even learned some things I didn’t know before. I thought that the course was well designed and presented and that the explanations were easy to understand.
