Outdoor Photography

I loved everything — the personal story, the artist's style, insights into living and working in Alaska, the tutorial in the wild, editing and the shooting process. These lessons are truly great, and I think I’ll watch them again to revisit some of the interesting details. Thanks!

I was thrilled to learn that this course was coming and was still surprised by how much Tom over-delivered on my already high expectations! I bought his riveting "Images of Nature" book from the Denver airport gallery a few decades back, where I was blown away by his prints. I've done eight freelance assignments for National Geographic across the decades, so my interest included teaching ideas and I loved his approach to this presentation. This was superb. I would highly recommend these 10 1/2 hours to any budding wildlife photographers!

Amazing class!!! I can't have enough!

One of, if not the best technical photography workshop on Creative Live. I can confidently say, regardless of your skill level from amateur to pro, you will get something from this workshop. Doesn’t speak down to you & uses clear, easy to understand terms, without insulting your intelligence. Highly recommend..

Love it! 💯

This is usable workshop for already established company. I didn't find it helpful for me personally because I'm at starting point of everything. I do photography for 2 years. I can imagine this can help someone who is already famous in his country and wants to expand and work with world brands. Otherwise, no, this is not for starting photographers.

I must say, the first half of this presentation should have been labeled as a infomercial for Olympus camera gear. It should have been more camera inclusive. After wading through this, the second half was valuable and offered some good tips.

I love Matt's matter-of-fact way of teaching. He is always humble about his knowledge and quick to point out his own mistakes, making him seem very approachable. Plus, he knows a sh*t ton about Lightroom.

Amazing course! Tom Mangelsen is not only an expert photographer but a super engaging storyteller. My photograph has already improved. Tom is now on my shoulder, out there with me -his voice and advice firmly in my mind guiding me with composition and just generally enjoying the experience of it all. Highly recommend his course!!

This class is a winner! What an amazing, awesome and inspiring class. Tom is not only an expert but a super interesting storyteller. I feel my photography has improved already. Tom is now on my shoulder guiding my composition decisions and more. Highly recommend!!

Thanks a lot for assembling a very good course. It was great watching and will be very helpfull, so I highly recommend it.

Awesome!

What I like best is he is highly relatable, easy going and humble. Alex is upfront and practical. He recommends some brands, the ones that work good for him, but never downplays others.

Very good entry-level class. Very basic.

Excellent workshop Mike has an excellent style to always keeps you engaged and up to date on his camera/flash settings. There is no shortage of knowledgeable instructors who scream right by their settings, i.e. a key factor for the learning photographer. Mike will take a moment and explain how he 'builds' his settings, always explaining the settings and the whys. Outstanding. How, his one-handed MacGyvor macro flash technique, while impressive, just doesn't work for me as I can never hold things steady enough to take the shot :-) Something to aspire to? Highly recommend this course. Thank you

As a landscape photographer this was one of the most informative presentations I've heard.

Gave me a new way of seeing from an artistic perspective. I can now embrace the blur!

A superb course and one which I already see myself referring back to regularly as I work towards elevating my craft. Thank you!

What made this class truly delightful was the sense of getting to know Tom on a personal level, almost as if we were engaging in real-life conversations. His wit, coupled with his unwavering dedication to addressing every question, made the learning experience immensely satisfying. The extensive fieldwork showcased in the class underscored the dedication and passion behind it, which was truly commendable. For anyone passionate about wildlife and photography, this class is an absolute must-watch!

Possibly my favorite Creative Live class so far. The footage of field shooting sessions with Tom brings home the application of the technical information presented. I found it all very interesting and inspirational.

Excellent class for beginners of Macro Flower Photography. I especially enjoyed how in depth the video was working directly with the two students. Flashing back and forth to the actual photos taken to see the individual changes. I was so inspired I went out and recreated the make shift photo studio/lab the students were using at the end.

What a fabulous course. I have all three of Frans Lanting's classes on creative live and they are the best. I have purchased dozens of classes by other photographers and honestly, these are the ones that never grow old and I always come back to. So grateful he took us into his studio at the end. Fascinating to see how the pros set up their studios. His soft spoken manner makes me eager to hear more. He is simply the best.

When a e-book/class on frozen flowers?

Great pictures and ideas of how to approach a region to photograph.

I learned a lot in this course. From someone looking to explore multiple revenue streams in my photography career as a fine art photographer, Chirs does a great job explaining how the editorial and commercial photography spaces work—excellent job by all.
