    This was by far the best posing class I've watched, especially for those loving more traditional portraiture rather than lifestyle. Michele showed how to be both methodical and fast, adding to each pose. I would love to see her do a real session from start to finish with a family to see the work flow and how she transitions between posing and what makes up a gallery. More classes from Michele please!

    Great tip!

  • moi D. Jul 8, 2021

    Oh my word! I am a family photographer and have been shooting for a few years, the class was on sale, I read the reviews which were good and I thought, "For $8 dollars it's not really a train smash if it's not a great class."Let me tell you I'm not even halfway through this class and already have learned so many things and picked up some very useful tips. Chris is a beautiful soul and what a generous and lovely teacher, mentor. This class is a steal whether you pay full price or not. If you're on the fence, jump off and go buy this class already.

    I am loving this course so far! However, I am not seeing a link to get the guide he is talking about so that I can work along with his lecture. I do see a link for his pricing guide. Thank you!

  • Nina B. Aug 23, 2020

    Omg Chris is such a pleasure to watch I felt like I wanted to be his friend! So grounded and so humble. The class is great, so much value! It makes us realize what is important and revisit our values and photographers and as people. I learned so much! Thank you so much Chris!

  • m D. May 26, 2020

    I love Chris' honesty. He is real, genuine, authentic and his photography is as well. I love all of his classes!

  • Mike G. Apr 15, 2020

    I felt compelled to write a review on this course. Chris is very consistent in his delivery throughout the course. One thing that stood out to me is his ability to not get caught up in the technical elements. It is a lesson I am trying to take with me into my photographic career. He works without a flash or an assistant. He spends about five minutes on camera settings and even at that, they are guidelines. Very refreshing. Obvious for family photography, focus on the family, bravo! I also deeply appreciate his obvious priority of giving attention to the spirit in people, connecting with it, and to document it with the camera with minimal distraction. If you are looking for "Set your iso to blablabla, then make sure your blablabla camera settings blabla" then this will surely disappoint. If you are focused on taking good pictures that people will enjoy. Then carry on and buy it.

  • Lilu B. Jan 9, 2020

  • Cody M. Nov 21, 2019

    Great class. Good tips for posing groups of people.

  • Crystal M. Oct 18, 2019

    Thanks so much, I loved this course!

  • Mary . Jul 17, 2019

    I love Michele's energy and valuable information on creating a "puzzle" with the placement of each person. Definitely worth the watch if you do any type of group posing, whether families, weddings, etc.

  • Brenda G. Mar 31, 2019

    Loved this course! One of the best courses I've purchased yet. Excellent content and I really enjoyed her energy and teaching style.

  • Niki R. Feb 8, 2019

    I learned so much from this class. Chris shares the whole journey so you don't see just the perfect pictures but the process of getting there. For someone starting out (like me) this is so helpful and inspiring. This class also helped me realize everything else that needs to be done - aside from taking the photos - to get a photography business up and running.

  • Leela J. Feb 2, 2019

    Brilliant class. Huge value for money! Chris is a brilliant teacher.

  • Rafael S. Jan 28, 2019

    Fast paced and valuable information without getting overly technical. Great course.

  • S. Dec 11, 2018

    Michelle is an excellent teacher. One can learn lots from this course. Having worked with children for more than 30 years, I would discourage any one from lifting a child by the wrist joint. What ensures is a "pulled elbow" ie. dislocation and/or fracture of the elbow. this can reoccur and is very painful. Please do not toss babies for a nice photo.

  • Ellen K. Nov 27, 2018

    This class is a a ridiculous value and one of my favorites that I've purchased. Chris is a great instructor who has lots of genuine insight that I learned a lot from. Highly recommended.

  • E.L. B. Nov 24, 2018

    I love her energy and ability to engage her subject and catch the perfect poses and family photos. Her ability to keep everyones attention is mezmerizing. Loved her casual approach (up front) but really she is very technical and doesnt miss the mistakes. Learning what to look for is an art and she;s very good at conveying how to get the shot you want.

  • Pawae 6. Nov 21, 2018

    Photographing groups is not easy, this course is perfect to improve. Michele Celentano explains things with a lot of dynamism and humor

  • Carl N. Nov 21, 2018

    I really enjoyed this class. Michelle has a great energy about her that lifts the audience and keeps the learning fun.

  • Sean S. Nov 3, 2018

    Great course by Michelle Celentano. The course was very informative. I will definitely watch it again. It was much better then I thought it would be. She was very prepared and gave a lot of useful tips. Great job Michele.

  • R. Oct 30, 2018

    This is by far the best photography class I have ever taken! Sandy does an amazing job at what she does!

  • Sherry G. Oct 25, 2018

    I don't do family portraits, but somehow let myself be talked into one with a family of eight. I'm absolutely terrified! So I took this class and learned so much! Everything was a learning moment, not a bunch of fluff to fill up time. I think I'll watch it again to really set the posing tips in my mind and then I can't wait to give it a try! Awesome class!
