WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
Charlie, you are one of the best instructors I have ever had regardless of the subject. You never talk over my head and sound like you actually want me to learn and not just earn yourself a paycheck. I thank you. - Gerald S.
I like the pace Charlie Borland is speaking, the images he uses, and the narrative style of the presentation. The course is just amazing. He has so many important details on the subject of photography. For example, I now understand how to use my Flash and trust me, I have many books on the subject. Best photo course. -Renzo D.V.

What they say:
This was by far the best course I have taken! – Joe C.
Better than ever expected. This course has taken me from zero knowledge to understanding how a huge amount of work goes into even one promo shot in a catalog. This course does not hold back or sugarcoat the work behind the great photos or give you constant reassurance - it honestly teaches all areas of the experience from taking better photos for your own benefit through to what the most professional client would require. I'm very grateful for Charlie Borland to be so helpful and present in such a lovely manner it makes the experience very rewarding and easy. -Michelle C.
Hi Charlie,
I'm not quite finished getting through all of the video but what a tremendous amount of work you have gone through for this course!
Not to mention all of the content. It's simply a staggering variety of such valuable, insightful, and important information.
I would have been bumbling about forever without your course, what a difference it will make as I begin and go forward from here.
Thank you for all of your time and effort and for sharing your knowledge so generously, it is greatly appreciated!
-Angela P.
