This ninety minute class will offer up fresh inspiration for your group portraits and completely change the way you photograph families of all sizes.
This was by far the best posing class I've watched, especially for those loving more traditional portraiture rather than lifestyle. Michele showed how to be both methodical and fast, adding to each pose. I would love to see her do a real session from start to finish with a family to see the work flow and how she transitions between posing and what makes up a gallery. More classes from Michele please!
Great tip!
This class was outstanding!
It's a great class, heaps of useful tips and very easy to watch. Thank you Michele!
This is the best posing class ever!!! such a great poses, so much fun during the session, this is exactly my style and what I want to do !!!!!! AMAZING!!!! Thank you, Michele!!!
Great class. Good tips for posing groups of people.
I love Michele's energy and valuable information on creating a "puzzle" with the placement of each person. Definitely worth the watch if you do any type of group posing, whether families, weddings, etc.
Loved this course! One of the best courses I've purchased yet. Excellent content and I really enjoyed her energy and teaching style.
Fast paced and valuable information without getting overly technical. Great course.
I love her energy and ability to engage her subject and catch the perfect poses and family photos. Her ability to keep everyones attention is mezmerizing. Loved her casual approach (up front) but really she is very technical and doesnt miss the mistakes. Learning what to look for is an art and she;s very good at conveying how to get the shot you want.
Photographing groups is not easy, this course is perfect to improve. Michele Celentano explains things with a lot of dynamism and humor
I really enjoyed this class. Michelle has a great energy about her that lifts the audience and keeps the learning fun.
Great course by Michelle Celentano. The course was very informative. I will definitely watch it again. It was much better then I thought it would be. She was very prepared and gave a lot of useful tips. Great job Michele.
I don't do family portraits, but somehow let myself be talked into one with a family of eight. I'm absolutely terrified! So I took this class and learned so much! Everything was a learning moment, not a bunch of fluff to fill up time. I think I'll watch it again to really set the posing tips in my mind and then I can't wait to give it a try! Awesome class!
Very good class. I learned alot. I have trouble with posing people, so this really helped. Thanks
Very good course to learn about the basic of portraits. She was able to put the whole class in a group picture. Very good value and worth it the price.
This course was a game changer for me! I struggled with posing groups, it was awful. I had pictures on my phone I would reference all the time and I'm embarrassed when I think back to that. She explains everything in a way that makes so much sense. It doesn't matter how many people, you can keep adding folks and you will know right where to put them. I feel so blessed to have taken this class. If your thinking about taking this class, just do it! You won't regret it!
excellent and useful tecniques!
Good solid posing tips. Learned quite a bit. The one criticism is the repeated emphasis on women's dislike of their body. Understand the need to convey how some women feel but think the repetition is counterproductive and harmful to the psyche.
This class is just what I was needing. I have a group of 40 people coming up in a month and I am super nervous about posing them. They are NOT a photography family! It is like pulling teeth to get them all together. Thanks for this video!! Where did you get that tripod!! it is amazing!
Exactly what I was looking for and needed for more confidence in shooting large groups! Thank you!
Loved Michele's energy, which she communicates as a requirement when dealing with a family that includes two-year-olds. The class has just enough lessons... but then again, I feel that I could use more. Perhaps outdoor family sessions. But overall, I got what I needed from it -- how to shoot groups.
I can't open the class. Anyone have a suggestion
Has to be the best posing sessions i have watched so far. Family loved her, kids loved her, she was great. Best 90 mins I've spent on posing families.
Great course with some counter-intuitive input that, once you see it, makes great sense. Worth the price and the time to study.
