Student Testimonials

I learned so much about photography that I was surprised. For too long I have only use the auto settings and now I have knowledge on how to use manual settings and am now more creative, more confident and wanting to know more about photography. Thank you Jerad.

Really enjoyed this course. The tips and explanations were incredibly helpful and I feel so much more confident in using my manual mode. The tips on buying a flash were so useful as it is something I have also struggled with when taking photos in lowlight. Highly recommend this course.
