    I just finished LOCATION, POSINGG, EXECUTION and this course was totally enlightening. It has changed the way I will practice and prepare for a shoot. Roberto is an amazing instructor and motivator.

    Best course ever. Roberto doesn't just lecture, he gets you to do the thinking. I learnt so much as an experienced wedding photographer. Fabulous, will watch over and over.

    Truly one of the best on Creative Live! Love Roberto's sense of humour and detailed style of teaching. One of the best posing courses I have attended.

    Roberto is an amazing teacher, however the poor editing and videography of these videos greatly reduces the opportunity to learn. For example, Roberto asks the in-person class to tell him if there is any geography in the area they will shoot in. Not once does the video pan to show what the area looks like so online students can participate in the learning. Instead, the video frame stays on Roberto and his students - we online students, yet again, get to watch a video of the teacher and students looking at something we don't get to see. Absolutely a useless waste of time for the online student. I still recommend the class, because Roberto is such a good teacher, but I would not recommend one pay full price as much of the lessons are a complete waste of time.

    I've been buying CL's classes since 2016 when I first started into photography. Needless to say, i've bought a lot of classes about photography by other very well known photographers but a lot of them I only watched 1-2-3 videos and i am off to lala land. As much as they're informative, they don't have the same teaching technique Roberto has. I saw this class by accident and i watched the 1 hour free preview and i told to myself, this is the class that I need! So i bought it right after I watched the free preview and I had been watching this class over and over and over just because he's so entertaining to watch. His chart and his 7-7-7 points are like the holy grail of photography. Learned so much about lighting, location and posing in this one single class compared to other photography classes combined. And I also love how he really push his student to participate in the class. The teddy bear, banana and the maintenance man session was a classic! And the best part of the class was when he showed his first wedding photos. lol As what he said in the class, there is no such thing as talent. It's hard work. I used to think that I am not talented enough in this field but after watching this class, it all changed! Thank you Roberto!

    WOW - This is great.

  • Tim M. Aug 28, 2020

    After this class you'll never look at any room or location the same way again. Now, everything becomes possible with creativity and lighting.

  • Angie C. Jul 15, 2020

    Great course - Roberto's teaching style keeps you engaged. His mantra "Practice, Practice, Practice" makes perfect sense when you see the results. Thanks...

  • O. Dec 11, 2019

    Roberto put a lot of heart and soul into this series of classes. I got a lot out of them and really enjoyed watching. I'm going to watch his speedlight class and buy his book "Picture Perfect Practice."

  • Giovanni A. Oct 25, 2019

  • Rosa D. Jun 16, 2019

    Wow, I loved watching this class and sure going to practice what you have taught. Thanks so much.

  • Tracey R. May 21, 2019

    I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this class. I have purchased many many classes and this one blows everything out of the water. I am an established wedding photographer and I still learned so much. There are so many lightbulb moments. Highly recommend this class to everyone, not just wedding photographers!

  • Jocsán B. Feb 15, 2019

    Just WOW! Can't look at photography the same. I WANT TO BE A PRO ARTIST!! ;D Gracias Roberto!

  • Tjalling D. Jan 29, 2019

    What a great course and what a nice teacher.. Thank you Roberto. If you read this, can you explain how you pulled of the picture in one of your last lessons, with the big shadow on the ceiling of the couple? I am sorry to ask this in a review, didn't know where else to do it. Thank you!

  • Ozgur C. Jan 28, 2019

    Great, thanks Roberto.

  • Declan M. Jan 23, 2019

    If you want to shoot weddings at the highest level, there are some things that are essential to have in your repertoire. Brilliant posing ideas, and a fast, practical approach to using flash, are what separates Roberto from the crowd, and he shares his knowledge in this workshop, with great passion and humor. A lot of this feels very "over the shoulder", like you're part of the group. There's plenty of variety, and a lot to take in. I've watched it twice. Great way to power-up your wedding shoot skills and confidence. Recommended, at any price.

  • Giovanni P. Jan 19, 2019

    This is just amazing. Is important to notice that this is for intermediate photographers. The lessons that Roberto give you will just level up your photography skills and how to really master the art of photography.

    OMG,... it's me!.... I asked my first client couple to kiss, kiss, kiss... that's when I failed >.<. I knew it and I know it now. That's also the reason I was brought in your class through a friend, I know I need to learn something! You give a well constructive and organized class, Thank you.
