    Im not understanding he camera setting. Why is she shooting at a shutter speed of 60 and her ISO is 100. Wouldn't she have sharper images if her shutter was a bit higher and she upped her ISO? A blurry eye looks weird???

    I love how the course showed me the process of creating those beautiful, artistic set of portrait shoot, also Caroline explained her tips for capturing the film look images which is helpful! It's a bit unfortunate that she didn't show exactly what those presets settings are in lightroom, but generally I feel the course is very well presented.

    Caroline Tran is bursting with creative energy and enthusiasm! In this class she walks you through the little differences between film and digital that separate the SOOC of the two. She shows you how understanding what makes them different is the cornerstone to learning how to manipulate digital to mimic film. All you need is a working knowledge of manual mode, and a willingness to let go of go-to DSLR habits that keep your images distinctly digital. She finishes with walking you through the simplest post-production that doesn't even require a strong knowledge of Lightroom. She even sells her presets if you don't want to recreate them on your own. This class was wonderful and so much fun! Thank you Caroline!

    I thoroughly enjoyed Caroline's energy and and enthusiasm. It was interesting to watch the process from shooting, to cull and edit as she created her signature look. But was disappointed that she didn't really explain how to get the film look other than using her presets. I did learn a few things as she demonstrated her edits and would still recommend to others.

    I really enjoyed this class and watching the process Caroline goes through from shooting, to cull, to editing to create her signature look. She shares the unique characteristics of film and how she aims to emulate that using DSLR as well as how to go about matching the film scans to digital images from the same session. This class is a good fit if you have basic knowledge on shooting in manual and want to emulate the film look in your work. I learned a lot and am able to apply some clear techniques to my approach and work flow to take it to the next level.
