The Business of Photography with Nigel Barker

So happy that I bought this class! Even after all his years doing it, his passion for photography is contagious. Very inspiring and packed full of great info.

Very interesting having a glimpse of Nigels techniques, approach, career, way of thinking and passion.

Nigel is a wonderfully engaging instructor. I like that he walks his students through his photoshoots. The set ups. How to interact with the models. Even though there are a couple of genres I'm most active in, I appreciate that Nigel says that you can have different photographic interests, so long as you brand yourself properly. I like taking photos of lots of things, although my outdoor photos generate the most interest. I highly recommend all of Nigel's classes.

You can't help but be drawn into this class. Nigel is such an engaging teacher and very personable. The parts on self promotion and marketing were gems! It's interesting how many times I've heard these same things, but his approach really made it sink in. Totally worth the investment in the course.

Since I am a professional fashion photographer, I am normally concerned about buying tutorials because a lot of the time they are for beginner photographers. However, this class is perfect!!! Nigel does a great job making this class fit to anyones skill level. I cannot recommend this class enough!!!

This is one of my favorite Creative Live classes so far. The storytelling and human interaction parts were my favorites! The ability for Nigel to get such amazing expressions in such a brief time shooting was amazing. Everything he demonstrated seemed almost effortless, and all without a shred of ego. Great class!

Nigel is an excellent teacher! Gets straight to the point, very thorough with his teaching and his explanations. On the business side he talks about his own successes and failures and gives you examples of how to create marketing opportunities for yourself. On the photoshoot side he explains all his setups, why he executes things a certain way, his interactions with his subjects and the photographs he's trying to create. Probably one of the best CL courses I've watched!

He said he was not a teacher but I beg to differ...GREAT teacher! He makes it look easy :-)

This class is PACKED with useable info and Nigel has a really easy to understand and engaging way of teaching it. I will watch this many more times. Great Class!!

The best class I have seen so far. Nigel is simply amazing.

Passion, personal, inspiring! Nigel, thanks for amazing class and a lot of great advices.

Excellent class and instructor. Nigel shows tips on how to get different types lighting and how to make your subjects feel at ease. You definitely will learn a lot from this class.

Mr. Barker is his best when interacting with models and sharing his inspirational tips for extracting emotion from his subjects. When he is 'raw.' I'm now a fan!

This class was very inspirational. Topics discussed were relevant for the enthusiast beginner to the experienced photographer. Nigel Barker will take you from how he conceptualizes the vision of the photo shoot to capturing the perfect image that will make your photography brand stand out. You will not regret taking this this class!

Nigel tells his path to success and demonstrates various lighting techniques. Most of all this class inspired me to get more creative with lighting. A reminder that light and shadow work together. He gives ideas on how to push our skills to the next level. How to create a story in our images.

Nigel is a great teacher, very easy to listen and so inspiring!

Nigel is very easy to listen to and very personable! I have learned a lot from him about portrait photography!
