One-Light Portrait Photography with Dan Brouillette

Your an excellent teacher Dan! Thank you

Brilliant. i hadnt used my studio lights for a while, i was a little afraid of them, and this has boosted my knowledge and confidence to have another go. the angles Dan explains make sense, he tells you why, not just to do it! white backgrounds can be scary, but i cant wait to have a go now! honestly, when you start using a strobe, start here! thanks Dan, i have a shoot tomorrow, and you just stopped me mid panic attack! cheers

Dan was able to explain the basics while completing some examples at the same time. Excelente course.

Brilliant course for beginners. Would like to have seen some comparative examples with slightly cheaper gear, but that is for the individual to experiment. The inverse square law theory of light was a great help to me.

I really learned a lot form this course, pace is fast and to the point.

This Class right to the point, fast pace class simple way to get portraits. Liked how Dan showed you positioning different lights with distance can make a difference with backgrounds. Great class for beginners starting out. Would take another class from him for sure.

Fantastic little course. I knew a lot of this stuff already but still learned a couple things, too. I love seeing how different photographers explain the same things and Dan was crystal clear and highly effective. Glad I bought this course.

Brilliant class. Dan explains things step by step and it's really easy to follow him. Learnt loads from this. Thanks!

A great class. Easy to follow and to understand. You expanded and gave an excellent demonstration by changing the distance and direction. Julie

I have mixed feelings on this one. I would still recommend it because the theory and explanations are solid and he gave a wide array of examples that show you the incredibly broad spectrum of results you can get with a given light just by changing distance and position. Having that general understanding of the fundamentals will be very useful. I'm a little bummed that he's using thousands of dollars in lighting for something that felt like it was promoted as an introduction or fundamentals class. I am a hobbyist and I am using speedlight and small softbox or umbrella combos that cost under $100, not 500 watt strobes in 60" softboxes or $1500 strobe and beauty dish combos. It would have been nice to see some examples with more basic equipment. I know the concepts will scale with some practice though, so the class was certainly still valuable.

If you are beginner, this class is for you. It would help you understand different lights and modifiers.

Very nicely explained! Thank you for all the tips!
