Amazing class. So many gems. Sue is an incredible story teller, educator and inspirer.
This course is outstanding. The techniques are true money-making techniques, but the more important lesson here, in my opinion, is the prompt to connect WITH a client to create a relationship. It really is a game-changer. Plus, I like women with curves. These ladies are beautiful. :)
One of the best Creative Live courses I've taken! I love watching Sue Bryce - she has so much knowledge to share and she is fun to listen to! I would take any course that Sue Bryce teaches!
Sue is a true artist! She is creative and analytical. Her practical and pragmatic delivery is not only instructive, it is empowering. I just want to run out and grab a model to put in to practice everything she taught!
Excellent course! I learned so much from Sue.
Fantastic well worth purchasing
This is exactly what I was looking for. After the training I feel more confident with how to pose models, how to build good atmosphere and what completely changed my world I learnt how to work on emotions to capture more than just a body. Additionaly Sue is talented teacher with very clear english for not native people like me :). Thank you!
This was a really great course. I typically shoot business headshots and personal branding photos for women, but wanted to explore glamour and contemporary portraiture. I breezed through all of the lessons and found myself revisiting lessons to prep for shoots. Sue also has an amazing personal story that I found inspiring and great creative ideas for business development that I hope to implement into my own business very soon! No regrets in buying this course!
Sue Bryce is amazing. She is not only a talented photographer but a first rate educator. Highly recommend.
Her no-nonsense approach, her ability to connect, and her wisdom with posing makes, by far, one of the best educational videos I have ever seen. There is so much to learn from this class, and I am only a third of the way through. I have been engaged with her method and her persona from minute 1, and I am so glad I made this purchase!
As a beginning level photographer, I purchased this class because Sue's style is similar to the type of women's portraits I am interested in starting a business around. I expected to learn a tad here and a tad there, as someone who has watched every possible YouTube video out there on portrait photography and editing. I am honestly blown away by the amount of knowledge I've gained from this class. On top of learning TONS about posing, pricing, creative marketing, and the business side of photography, I feel that I've actually grown as a person! Sue's teaching style is authentic and so real. I feel so refreshed, as it is almost tribal for one woman to gain so much from the experience of another woman. I am coming away from the class inspired to create beautiful images and make other women feel amazing. Thank you Sue for sharing your passion and changing my life!
Sue is truly a master at glamour photography. She really knows her stuff and knows how to teach it. Some may find her style a bit abrasive at times. I really don't care. This is not a course on how to be Sue. I have purchased many classes from Creative Live and this is one of my favourites.
I've only gotten started on the class, but I have to say I was extremely disappointed when the words "bull s***" came out of Sue's mouth. I had expected professionalism and found it very unnecessary to be using that kind of language in a photography class.
Sue, please STOP saying Good Girl, I see is an habit now, it doestn sound better than Sweet Darling , it sound like you are rewarding a Dog, the client wont tell, so please listen my hard critic, thanks. Like you posing classes.
I recently got this workshop based on the preview that was provided. It has already been extremely eye opening and I have a whole new perspective on my photography. This is not a criticism and if I had a way to ask this question to her I would...I shoot professional models and don't (as yet) shoot people asking for portraits. One of the things she said in the class was to not ask the person if it's okay to touch her, if her hair needs adjusting for example and you don't have an MUA, just do it. Everything I've been told to this point, from photographers to models themselves, is that you do ask permission to touch. I don't know if expected behavior differs when shooting a professional where you are paying them as opposed to a shoot where they are paying you. Again, not a criticism. I really feel this class is great if you need to know how to direct poses and interact with the subject. I believe that the greater number of good and usable shots will more than pay for the cost of the class.
Sue Bryce has an incredible way of explaining things in ways that you can not only understand but also make your own. She has some great tips and ideas and helps save you money even! This class really helped me with my flow. Smooth transitions between poses and such. So great!
Excellent class! Having her first discuss what she does and how she does it, and then using models to go through the process from several different perspectives really helped me understand what she was doing and then apply that to my own skill set. Highly recommend this!
Beyond amazing and completely worth every penny! This course has ignited a fire within me & helped me grow on so many levels! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - FANTASTIC!!! #thankyousuebryce
Sue is AMAZING. Its making me wish I had bought this class so long ago! She's such a great teacher, very thorough and clear.
In the posing apartment there's no other like Sue to teach u the basic rules. This course is one of the best you can find in the cretivelive catalog, no doubt.
This is my second review for this course. I cannot say enough about it. Even if you're not planning on being a "glamour" photographer, this course is jam packed with valuable information, tips and techniques. All thoughtfully delivered by an amazing photographer, teacher and business woman. LOVE it.
Sue Bryce has completely changed the whole way I think and feel about my business. I am so excited to be working with women, helping them to see their beauty. This class was worth every dollar, I almost feel guilty at how much I have taken away from Sue's teaching!
What can I say? I've only gotten through session 1 and plan on going over it again, and feel like I've already gotten my monies worth. I've learned so much and am so excited and inspired that's its impossible for me to put into words. I absolutely LOVE this course. Thanks to Creativelive.com and to Sue Bryce.
Wonderful class. The bit on posing alone was worth the cost of the class. I really enjoyed Sue's teaching style.
This is the sort of teaching there is not enough of - brilliant, practical, hands-on advice - a little glib at times - this program nevertheless manages to fill almost every minute with useful strategies and invaluable advice. Highly recommended.
