    Love the natural way Mike has to explain and to work on the studio. Plenty of tips and clear knowledge transfer for me that I manage quite well natural light but that I still mess with the on-camera flash.

    The class seems great, but my connection - even at 20MB still give me 20 seconds and then butts out for a minute :(

    Lots of practical information on how to combine flash with modifiers in the studio. It was helpful seeing real world examples of both how to do it properly and what can go wrong. Although this class was focused on children and families, the tips can be applied to any type of studio subject.
