    Ed does a wonderful job of covering a wide range of situations, keeping your eyes and mind open to the moments that happen around us, and a new perspective on how to find magic in their details.

    Ed is a very good teacher, visual teacher as in his career of visual storyteller. His photos and videos in this class help me understand what he's teaching very easily. Although it's not an advanced class for photography, experienced photographers will pick something out of it here and there.

    It was a real treat to hear insight from world renowned photojournalist, Ed Kashi. Watching him create images to reflect moments and stories was an eye-opener and seeing his genuine excitement for the craft was inspiring. This class is a must see for any photographer, mobile or otherwise. Thanks Ed & Creative Live for the great class!

    Excellent class. As a photojournalist I've been fighting with mobile photography, not really sure if I should take it seriously, but after this class I've decided to add it into my work. Learning about some new tools and how to use those tools really helped. While the examples given are shown with an iPhone, anyone using an Android will get the exact same benefit. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I was able to use just everything that was taught. Highly recommended!

    Again another GREAT Creative Live class!

  • MIchael M. Mar 1, 2016

    I appreciate presentations and classes by accomplished, professional photographers. In my opinion, CreativeLive has come to rely far to heavily on amateur/online photoshop tutors to deliver content. Ed Kashi shares his real world, professional work and methods. Very valuable.

  • Lynn H. Mar 1, 2016

    Very inspiring seeing Ed Kashi's excitement for the creative process. Seeing the final photo and then watching a video of what happened to make the photo was really helpful. Have a list a new apps to try for photo-editing and double-exposures. Loved the class.

    I found it very insightful to see the videos of Ed shooting and how he works in real time in various situations. Lots of good information throughout for shooting on mobile but also helpful for folks like me who don't (fujiX and snapseed). There are many great quotes and take aways in this video about - interaction, intentions, awareness, aesthetics, and the language of photography etc.

    I was not interested in this class and just decided to tune in. This is one of the Best classes I have watched on Creative Live! I love his total "attitude" about how to treat people, what to do and not to do to engage in more courteous ways and polite ways. I found him inspiring and engaging, creative and providing lots of information in what I watched. (I did not watch the entire course.) I am certainly going to check out other classes he might produce in the future. I very much enjoyed what I did watch and found him a wonderful instructor! Lots of valuable tips as well. Thanks for allowing me to preview it today!
