Fundamentals of Photography

I cannot recommend this class enough! I've been a photographer for 11 years & am very skilled with Photoshop, but have always been extremely frustrated by Lightroom. Ben's thorough explanations of how to quickly use tools in Lightroom, as well as organize your files, keyword finished photos to easily & quickly find them again, the different ways to move photos into Photoshop for further editing, & (possibly most importantly) WHY it's advantageous to do things this way, got me to change my workflow almost entirely. Even though I have used Photoshop extensively for years, I still managed to learn things from him for editing there as well. Ben goes through gear, tools for planning trips, tips for shooting, & a workflow for importing, editing, & organizing your images. The only thing that I wish would have been added in was exporting photos in Lightroom. Although I've figured out my own process for it, I would be highly curious to see Ben's process & hear his explanations of all the different options. All that being said, Ben offers SO much in this course & I cannot wait to take more classes from him!
Ben Willmore goes above and beyond to explain fundamentals, with easy-to-understand examples and visuals that help you digest the huge amount of information he shares. He offers time-saving and useful tips, and gives you more than your money's worth.
Wow! Ben has a great teaching style. The amount of information given in this class is almost overwhelming. Thank you!
I don't know where to start. When I discovered Creativelive, I told my husband, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. LOL! But then I watched a few of Ben's classes and I can't stop talking about everything that I am learning each day. I am so excited to have the Creativelive pass and so grateful for people like Ben to share their knowledge with others like me. Thank you, Ben!
ANY course by Ben Willmore is worth purchasing. This guy really knows what he is talking about, and, just as importantly, he knows how to teach. The little snippets of information gleaned from his course are so worth the price of admission into his classes. Brilliant tutorials from a brilliant teacher!
I'm not done yet, but if this class is any indication, I will be doing more. The fact that I can watch this on the plane, from my phone or ipad or laptop, right where I left off, or download if I have to be offline, is a huge plus. To heck with DVDs or books - this is the way to go. Ben's presentation is organized, easy to follow, and for all levels. Great!
Great course, I have learned so much, Ben makes the difficult look so simple. Thank you for another great course. Very well structured.
Great content that goes way beyond shooting when traveling. Downloads of keywords, presets as well as PDF field guides that will save me hundreds of hours. In addition, the corse is taught with a logical, methodical approach that builds and builds capability and confidence. I use bought several more of Ben Willmore's classes on Creative Live because of this course. Its a dense course that is very well taught and huge value for money. By far the best course on Creative Live I've experience dso far.
Wow! I'm blown away by how good this class is. I'm fairly new to photography and have caught parts of many classes on Creative Live. After watching most of Fundamentals of Photography with John Greengo and really liking how informative and easy to digest that class was, I bought his Travel Photography class. It was good but left me wanting to know more. This class went on sale so I thought I'd try it and this class is just much more informative. I would still recommend John Greengo's Travel Photography class, as each have their own unique approaches, but if your only going to watch one, I'd recommend this class instead.
Great course with loads of invaluable information about many aspects of photography. I learned so much about Lightroom, Photoshop, composition and lots more. Ben is such a great teacher. This course is great value with the great presets that are a bonus! Thanks so much! :)
This is the best on line course I have done. There is so much useful, practical information and it is so easy to understand. Thank you so much, you have inspired me!
I feel the title of this class, Travel Photography, is much to limiting for what you are really going to get. As a wedding photographer, who dreams of traveling, I attending the class live in Seattle, and was hoping to get some inspiration for on location shoots. What I got, however, was a WHOLE LOT MORE. I would recommend this class to anyone with a camera and Lightroom. What I learned about how lightroom works and how to integrate it with photoshop is invaluable. I actually think they should charge WAY more for this course. The bonuses with purchase from the keywords (we are talking every key word you could possibly imagine) and the presets (holycow everything you would ever need) are worth exponentially more than the course price itself. Ben is a gentle easy going teacher and nice to listen to. His ease of teaching pretty complex ideas was truly wonderful. If you are reading this you must buy this course, it is well worth it!
I attended a Photoshop Creativity course with Ben Willmore in 2014, and it was well worth the price. But this online class has 3 times the content for the same price, an outstanding value. I learned both LR and PS techniques, plus a ton of travel photography ideas, settings, and planning tips. This class would be a steal at twice the price. Kudos, Ben and Creative Live.
Simply the best there is! Wonderful course and the supplementals are a gold mine!
I feel like I won the lottery with this class. Ben is an amazing teacher and he covers a wide range of topics. All the bonus materials are great, especially the presets. This class is an incredible value!
Ben is an amazing teacher,best one out there! Whenever I think I know it all, he brings up some hugely mindchanging tweaks. Hope to meet him one day.
I watched this course because it was entitled Travel Photography. I bought the class because it was the best Lightroom/Photoshop training I've watched on Creative Live. It was an amazingly thorough and easy-to-follow class. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you need help with post-processing! The package that is included with the purchase of the class is just crazy! Thank You Ben!
His calm demeanor exudes confidence in the subject matter and gives me confidence that I will be able to conquer the subject matter, too. Ben's vast experience is generously shared in a demystifying style that is logical and focused.
I have only been able to watch rebroadcasts of some segments, but was inspired to purchase the course.
I have only watch the course on Creative Live so far. I'm fixing to by it. But as always. Ben has came though with another great course. Just watching it here. I have again learned so much. I can't wait to be able to be able to see it at home. And get all that I miss. Thanks again Ben an Creative Live. The two of you have done so much for me. I have also several of Ben courses. And they just keep getting better. And I can't wait to see what he does next. Gene Flegal. Remember...Be Inspired....
Honestly...After this course, I purchased many more of his courses. He really speaks to me!
Genius! Ben is a brilliant master teacher - focused, clear and holds back no information. The best! This course has condensed the equivalent of 10 courses into one. He is a perfectionist in his approach and knows how to present the material. He is the leader in photoshop and photography "par excellence". Highly recommend any of his courses. Save your time and start with the best - everyone loves Ben!!!!
Very well done. This is really a complete guide. It covers from shooting to Lightroom, Photoshop and what not. A+++++
Ben, thanks for sharing so much and giving so much. The time and money spent on your two-day online class was inspiring and worth many times more. I look forward to using this knowledge in my next travel. I also look forward to attending more of your information sharing sessions. You inspire me to share what little I know and have learnt. Everyone of us should "pay it forward". Thank you!
Great teaching, loads of bonus material. Thanks Ben!
