    Great clear, succinct information, with an engaging instructor. I would have loved to see it fleshed out a bit more with some examples, where he is actually taking pictures in the field.

    This class was really well done and Scott is very engaging! This complex subject feels so simplified now and I finished with knowledge I can use in any scenario. I highly recommend this course!

    Enjoyed this class. Small, but packed full of usable information to understand natural light!

  • Dhruba C. Dec 21, 2018

    This is one of the foundational courses in photography. I wish Scott taught this as a much longer course in the interest of a beginner. It is just fine for me, but I am fairly proficient in photography. I have been following him for years.

  • H. Dec 11, 2018

    It was the first class I watched at CreativeLive and in less than 2h I learned about fundamental tools in portrait photography using natural light. Great! I love Scott =)

  • Steve M. Dec 7, 2018

    I like Mr. Lim's style. Very well explained on his approach. The only thing I wish he had included in this class was the "settings" he was using in each senecio. Good class and enjoyed it very much. Will for sure get more of his classes.

  • Chevonne J. Dec 4, 2018

    This class is packed with so must information on Natural Light Fundamentals. Honestly? I felt it was a way better investment than some of the more expensive classes I have purchased. Scott doesn't ramble and sticks with just providing information along with plenty of examples. Great Class!

  • superdewa . Nov 2, 2018

    Great beginner or refresher course. Scott is fun and explains things simply and well. I'll be buying more from him. It's also really nice to take a class through CL that doesn't encourage viewers to spend a lot of money on yet more gear.

  • Rachael G. Sep 4, 2018

    Loved this!!!

  • Carlos L. Aug 11, 2018

    What a great class. I can't believe I learn so much in just an hour. Can't wait to go try out all the things I just learned!

  • Mark A. Aug 9, 2018

    Excellent Lesson from Scott. Easy to understand. One of the best CL Lessons I have ever watched. Good job

  • Nellie P. Aug 1, 2018

    Loved this course! I can't wait to try what I learned. Thank you now I know how to create catch lights and rim lights in my images!

  • Margaret L. Jul 28, 2018

    Scott is a passionate and engaging instructor. He's hilarious. I like a side of humor when I'm in a class. I have a preference for shooting in natural light, so I'm glad that I took this course. I learned more effective tips than what I had been doing. I know I'll be re-watching this course in the near future.

  • Nando A. May 2, 2018

    This is a very good course. The speaker is very articulate and the whole class is very interesting. I really learned a lot with this. Go for it.
