Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
Wow.. Amazing class and lot of info about posing. Especially while couple has plus size.
Doug is AMAZING! The way he teaches makes it fun and easy to understand. The way he poses his couples are so fast and easy to learn, I have taken my photography from mediocre, to world-class. I would love to meet him and thank him personally one day. Thank you Creativelive for introducing me to Doug, and thank you, Doug, for introducing me to CreativeLive! The best community for learning!!!
Great course. Doug Gordon is very entertaining to watch. He is a great photographer and a great instructor. I really enjoyed this class. I would definitely re-watch it.
he is excellent recalls
I bought this a few years ago and hadn't watched it all... I'm only on the first hour and it's blowing my mind...thanks CreativeLive and Doug... Changing this life :) J. LaCour Photography
I don't even know how to begin. This is THE best $100 I have ever spent to improve my images. I can't even get past day one! I have been watching them over to get everything into my head. This is a well timed course for me in the development of my photography. Doug's passion for his imagery is rivaled by his passion to teach, and that makes us lucky indeed. Thank you Doug and Creative Live for bringing this priceless material to us.
D9ug you have given my the in.spiration to get going again after almost two years off..I just love your classes and wisdom : ) enjoy life : )
I loved every minute of it! I watched and re-watched the Live show 3 times and now have the video version to burn into my mind. I don't get sick of watching it, I learn something new with each viewing. I have notes upon notes, inspirational quotes and I was truly inspired. I saw you live at your workshop and I wish we would of covered the business section a bit more in depthly because after watching you here on creativeLive I was floored! I can't wait to attend another one of your workshops because you are a wealth of knowledge, energetic and you inspire me to be better! I'm so glad I wasn't afraid to try even though I was terrified at first. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such an amazing mentor!
Doug is very inspiring. He clearly sees the "big picture" (pun intended) and thinks outside the viewfinder. Photography skills are just one part of the equation. Work ethics, the workflow system, thorough planning, business skills, people skills, technology, social media, public speaking skills. There are certainly decades of learning and extensive preparation under his (ever expanding) belt. No wonder he can go at 100 mph non-stop, because he is passionate and very knowledgeable about his subject matter. Thank you Doug for sharing your wisdom and shaking our core with your no-nonsense style.
love it love it love it
it was great, great, great and wow!
I watched him live, I watched the rewatch and I'm already streaming bits and pieces of the course. I love how he covered so much material is such a short amount of time. Thank you Doug for being on CreativeLIVE. Truely appreciate this course and can't wait to watch you over and over and over...well, you get the idea. ;-)
This is by far the most entertaining and content filled 3 day workshop from CreativeLive. I told myself not to purchase this workshop since I've already have purchased 7 other workshops before but I just can't help myself not to. Doug Gordon exudes confidence and really is a great motivational speaker. I will surely apply all his flow poses to my photography.
This is my third creative live workshop. All have been well worth the price but clearly Doug Gordon has been the best because he has made posing the main element of his workshop(yes, I am guilty of puting fat arms on women). Flow posing is something I will add to my routine when I take pictures of people. I also liked how he only used a single light for most of the pictures he took. His advice for taking pictures in multi light conditions was simple to understand and something that will become part of my routine. I also appreciate the changes to CL's download procedures. Downloading smaller segments that clearly list what the segment is about makes it a lot easier to review the important things that I got out of Doug's presentation. Pre-Show Banter was not downloaded.
Thank you, Doug! What a worthwhile 3 days watching your workshop again and again. Awesome, fun, practical and inspiring. I'm have long been wanting to get into wedding photography and have shot 2 for free. Your 3-day workshop has given me a template to leap into my goal. I hope to attend your Spring Workshop and learn more from you. By the way, I bought the workshop so I can watch you again and again and again...like you did Monte. All the best!
I was unable to watch it in its entirety, but that's ok, I will have the opportunity to watch again in the future. I loved the tributes that Doug kept paying to Monte, a sign that he is so comfortable with who taught him and who he is today. Doug, as someone who still holds Monte near and dear to my heart, I loved what you did here, I saw what you did here and most of all I listened... I have learned so much more, and I am now going to review my own approach. Thank you sincerely! I was also happy that my question about adapting your approach to different clients was asked and answered. Hugs.
Awesome,Stupendious,Great, Wonderful, Dynamic, Super, Extordinary,ect... Thank you for a great learning experience. Although I have not had a photography business in alot of years, I still enjoy it so much. Thanks for re-invigorating me. Jeannette Winters
Purchased based on intro - started watching and I'm already inspired and motivated!
Another great workshop, Doug! I have been learning Doug's flowposing techniques and it has really taken my work to the next level. I had the opportunity to see a few shots from a friend's daughter's wedding and the shots were, well, really boring! I love the fact that these techniques bring life to a still photo. You can feel the excitement and energy in every shot. You can sense the emotion and intimacy in the protraits. I can wholeheartedly recommend Doug's workshops to anyone that is ready to make the decision to excel in their photography to stand out from the rest.
Very interesting, don't want to mist anything, bought the course. And with a 40% off his product, this is interesting to.
This is good... He really knows his stuff...A must buy...
Great combo, don't you think? Photo + motivation + fun!
I started viewing this yesterday and i took me just 15 minutes to realize: "I hav to buy the course"...great lessons!
The first time I met Doug in Las Vegas- WPPI course. And since then I use every opportunity to take advantage of his lessons. Because as Doug says: you have to watch the lessons many times to let them become our second nature. Thank you Doug for motivation and inspiration.
The interactive element via Twitter makes this medium so much better than trying to watch a DVD.
