Brillant ! What an educator. Chris has the talent to make all technical difficulties easily understandable and uses the right tools for it. Many thanks for all the energy and the work that he put to achieve such a remarkable result.

I enjoyed watching this course and watched it four times. Chris gives very good explanations and I like how he changes the scenery for his explanations and gives examples. I watched this as a free course and will definitely purchase it. 10/10.

The production value of this course is annoying. This was in the reviews from two years ago. Please remaster this content and correct the problem. Chris does a good job of explaining photography fundaments. It is excellent that he goes beyond the " nuts and bolts" and gives creative application examples. Thanks, Tom

This class contain very important essence of photography. Glad to find this class to start my photography journey. Must to see if you want to be encouraged.

I agree with Fotomaker. Good content, Chris explains things well. But remaster it, cutting the volume of the music at the end!

Chris is very good at explaining things simply. But the production value of this course is annoying me. His voice comes across as very soft. If I raise the computer volume to a level where he sounds good then all the glaring "dramatic" music that's played way too much - during the lessons and at the close of each lesson - is blaring way way too loud. If that music could be removed the class would be great. Seriously the course doesn't need that blasting orchestral music (even a little, no less a lot)!

What a marvelous course! What a marvelous teacher! When I went to college, my father would always ask me about my professors, more than the courses themselves. He was passionate about learning and although too busy with earning an income to go beyond an undergrad degree, continued to read 50 books a year. I still remember how he'd get almost visibly excited when I'd tell him about some special professor who taught with such enthusiasm and, more than just passion, evident delight and joy in the subject. 'Ah they're the best, son. How wonderful you have such a teacher." Well, he passed away decades ago but if he were still around I'd get a kick out of telling him about Chris Weston, the 'Prof' of this course. He's one of the very special ones: a teacher who's loved and lived his vocation--his avocation--since he was a boy--and still is as excited about it now as he was then. The result: a course that seems to be more a labor of love--of pouring far more energy and thought into the details then one typically finds in these courses--than anything else. Bravo Chris! I'm already on to your next one.

Great job clearly explaining concepts!

I have taken more than half a dozen photography classes - both live and on-line. This one is by far the best of the lot I wish I had taken this one first - I wouldn't have needed the others. Chris really gets to the heart of what it takes to be an artist with a camera. This class was a life changing experience for me.

Chris is an amazing instructor who dissects theory giving amazing analogies that bring concepts to life. I have rarely been able to sit through most video course for more than a half-hour but watched this one from beginning to end. A good refresher course if you've been away from the camera for awhile or there are some concepts that still illude you. I highly recommend this course and look forward to watching his others. Thank you for the clarity and great explanations.

Very clear and easy to understand and apply - especially thankful for being able to finally have so many things make sense. Great course. Thank you.

He is very easy to understand and very informative. Instructions about settings are easy to usderstand

This was an amazing class. I have looked at a number of basic photography classes. This one was by far the best I have seen. Chris is an exceptional teacher. He breaks things down into digestible information and then inspires you to be creative. Thank you!

Fantastic. Very clear, great way of explaining things. Love it :)

The information itself and the instructor's delivery is excellent! However you do him and the class a disservice by ending each segment with that loud, ugly chord.

Well produced modules and an excellent introduction to digital photography.

I am so impressed with his explanations. I’m finally understanding some things that have been confusing to me. I’m currently watching this as a free class, but I will be purchasing it so I can refer to it when I need a reminder.

As others have stated, a really clear course. This is a back to basics but I always learn something. That aha! moment when he covers something I had forgotten or was new. Always good to go back and get some good advice. I have only watched half of the videos but looking forward to there rest. Excellent course.

He is as clear as it gets - wonderful!

Chris is a great teacher, very clear and exaustive in a short of time.

Profoundly and efficiently taught. This might be the 80/20 beginner's class, covering 20% of the knowledge that will give 80% of desired results.
