Fundamentals of Photography

Focus on your client, not your camera
Loved this class!
Extremely engaging class, taught by a very skilled instructor and photographer. Miguel is one of the reasons I switched to Sony and I couldn't be happier. His style is easy to follow and he seems very approachable. He is also engaged on social media with students and peers and offers wonderful input in all forums. 100% would recommend this class, and any he is involved with, over and over again.
I love how he says, "i like to call it specular light." Which is a term that has been around for EVER! He definitely makes comments likes he's doing something original. But besides that hes a very good photographer and his website has great images worth checking out.
I want to commend you for hosting Miguel Quiles. He is beyond competent and knowledgeable. Light is Light, but It is encouraging to see incredible minority photographers on your platform and to see diversity in the presenters. It is inspirational for minorities to see themselves on the center stage. I sincerely thank you for that. I am buying this course although I am not a mirrorless shooter because of my support of Miguel and the quality of his instruction of which benefits all photographers. He is a great addition to the Creative Live Family of Presenters that I have supported as well. Kudos Creative Live!
Really enjoyed watching Miguel work his magic. As a photographer on the fence about buying a new mirrorless system (and transitioning from a DSLR), I appreciated Miguel's thoughtful explanations and demonstrations. Wished I had bought this class and I most likely will when I can in the near future. I hope CreativeLive is considering bringing him back for more courses.
WOW!!! I LOVED THIS CLASS!!! I learned so much. He made lighting soooo simple, I finally understood. I liked the way he explained the why of his camera settings and how to overcome ambient light. he explained and made everything simple!!! I liked the way he talked about connecting with your clients. I am so happy I purchased this class. I finally understood lighting What a great teacher!! Thank you!!
Learned a lot from this class and now feel more confident using my Sony - thanks Miguel!!
Great instructor and communicator. I wish he had explained changing settings as he shot. I didn't know it would all be with a Nikon camera. I did learn from him. I would watch him again.
Great Class. Miguel Keeps everything clear and simple. I especially liked the tips about posing and communicating with the model.
This was a great class. I really liked it being based on mirrorless, there are not many classes on this. Miguel did a fantastic job. Even though I have used mirroless for 2 years, I learned a lot of new tips. I liked the intro to Alien Skin as well and would like to see more on using presets, so please invite Miguel back.
Miguel's class was exactly what I needed! He lets you in on his practical and streamlined approach to creating dramatic portraits that deliver every time, and I can't wait to use his "Jedi" posing techniques. I've been dying to learn Capture One and Alien Skin Exposure and Miguel walks you through his entire retouching workflow.
This is a great class. Miguel takes the student through the process of setting lighting, exposure and how to pose the subject. He also gives the rundown on how to approach the postprocessing after the shoot is done. I learned a lot from this class but my learning experience was hindered by the video stream constantly dropping packets and my PC pausing to buffer. My setup doesn't experience these dropouts on other video sources so I suspect the problem lies on the Creative Live side. I don't think their servers are up to the task of streaming to some 4,000 viewers at one time. If CL can get this fixed I would consider paying for these classes.
AMAZING class. Miguel's teaching style is completely accessible and approachable, with super clear instruction and very thorough. I've taken a lot of courses and feel pretty good about my way around my Sony a6000 and post-processing and I still picked up sooooo many gems. What I love most about this course is its focus on creative portraiture and nuts to bolts approach (shoot to post) for creating engaging and memorable images. Thanks Miguel--fabulous course!!!
Wow! As a Newb and someone looking to get into portrait/studio photography, this course was perfect and comprehensive. SO MUCH GOOD CONTENT. Miguel is so approachable about questions, positive, and thorough in his explanations. This course broke down the gear and technical side very well. I recommend going to a class live. It was a great experience with food and beautiful facilities. The facility has a positive vibe and really encouraged me to be creative. Thank you for the experience and knowledge!
Miguel was very informative and thorough in describing the many benefits of mirrorless cameras. I shoot with a DSLR, and never considered a mirrorless camera, until now!
This class is very informative. I recently have switched from DSLR to Mirrorless and I've heard many mixed opinions from peers. This class covers everything you need to know if you've recently switched to the mirrorless world or if you're fairly new to it. I have already started using some of the tips Miguel has given and my work has improved. GREAT Teacher!
This class is amazing. I do have a Sony A7II and the Indra500 lights and this class is very helpful for me. Thanks Miguel.
keep up the good work. your workshops are helpful bro =)
Excellent class, I am thinking of buying a mirror less camera and this is great even though I ancient not interested in portraits. Miguel is a great teacher.am planning to buy the course too Fab material
