    I enjoyed this quick class with great insight.

    I LOVE Deanne's classes. I understand and FEEL the way she describes humanizing Photojournalism. Because of her relationships and her approach, I feel her photos. They have weight, have depth, that just hits you like a brick. I hope she does more classes, I would love to hear and see more.

    I have to say that this was really inspiring. I had not heard of her before, and I hope Deanne forgives me for this! However, I was absolutely mesmerised by this session, and inspired. I was inspired not only by the words, but by the manner of the telling of her story and philosophy

    I so so so loved this. This is what I needed. I've been shooting for 25 years and have begun to lose focus. I feel like I have found a new map. Love this!

  • Sara P. Sep 29, 2017

    This is so inspiring, no need to say I ended up watching the video in tears. Thanks Deanne!

  • Monica V. Sep 27, 2017

    Excellent insight into the challenge many photographers face in capturing real life. There have been many times I've had trouble looking through my viewfinder as tears cloud my vision. Deanne is right: it's all about being human.

    I've watched this last year for the first time and I came away with so many ways to work and felt comforted to know that I could do them. Thanks for the free part. Thanks a lot. Tucker K
