    This is the most in-depth and comprehensive travel photography course you are ever likely to come across. It covers every aspect of the craft from every conceivable perspective. John Greengo speaks with authority and energy, and is never boring regardless of the content he presents. Some material covered is naturally more relevant and interesting than other parts, but you will learn everything you need to know to embark on the travel photography journey. The course is as inspiring as it is informative. All in all the course fee is money well spent.

    John Greengo is my go to guy on photography. I’ve purchased so many classes of his, it’s as though he’s my personal instructor. The course materials are easy to understand and absorb. The materials were presented in a very logical sequence. I’m planning to go on a John Greengo photography trip and I will certainly be bringing the class materials with me.

    John Greengo was fresh, exciting and entertaining. He was extremely well prepared for this class, and I loved hearing little nuggets from such a seasoned travel photographer. The course provided great content and ideas I can take with me on my next trip!

  • Lorraine . Sep 11, 2018

    I've loved every John Greengo course I have purchased and watched on Creative Live and this one is no different. He is an awesome instructor and I've learned so much from him.

  • Peggy G. Sep 10, 2018

    John always does an excellent presentation. It is obvious that he has put a lot of effort into the presentation and he explains things in a simple, straight-forward way so that everyone can benefit, whether a newbie or an expert. Hope to join one of his photography tours soon.

  • Jason B. Sep 8, 2018

    This is a great class focused on helping you get the most out of your travel photography. No time wasted on the basics of photography or other common processes (although he does throw out the very basics just in case... and references you to other courses for more depth in other aspects). John gives some great tips that will help you approach this particular niche and make you a better photographer all around in the process.

  • Jill C. Sep 7, 2018

    John Greengo is one of my favorite CL instructors - always well prepared and presenting the information in a very pragmatic and useful manner. It is readily apparent that he put a lot of thought and effort into this course. The content as well as the visuals are very professional and useful to a photographer of any level who wants to improve their travel photography craft. I certainly picked up a lot of useful pointers that I will employ on my next trip to Israel and Jordan this Fall.

  • Tonya . Sep 7, 2018

    As usual John has been an awesome instructor. He is so energetic and fun. I love taking his courses and this was no different. I absolutely loved it. I have learned so much by taking his courses. Thanks John for all you do to help us beginners out.

  • Maria Angelica R. Sep 6, 2018

    As usual, John gives a great presentation. So well explained and easy to follow. I've been away from my camera for a while and this class gave me a refreshing 'push' to grab it again and go out and shoot. Thanks John!!

  • Fran M. Sep 6, 2018

    Excellent class. John Greengo definitely is an excellent instructor who has a solid background and transmits his knowledge in a very technical, but simple and clear language. This class has a very well structured presentation as well as all the classes that I have seen from John Greengo. A had pre-ordered the class and will recommend it 100%.

  • Jan M. Sep 6, 2018

    I was aware of John's classes on cameras and lenses but never knew he was such a fine photographer. He covered many tips and ways to do travel photography that were fantastic. Loved it and recommend it to all -- no matter what type of photography you do.

  • Kelley W. Sep 6, 2018
