Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Lightroom 4
Great course. Jared was well prepared.
Jared Platt has actually a vision to share with us. Even though I do not know him personally, I can see how much he cares about teaching the art and craft of photography. He tells personal stories but does not make it an emotional show. This is one of my favorite courses in Creativelive. Highly recommended.
I have two of red's classes now and have to say, he is among the top five educators I have heard or taken a class with. I have been taking photography classes since the 70's and seen most of the great ones, the only one I missed was Ansel Adams . I think anyone interested in learning photography in an organized sort of way will love his classes. We should never stop learning!
Don't you just love it when Photographers, especially successful ones as Jared Platt, throw explanations out w/o any scientific backing to justify them? Jared's explanation of golden Setting Sun is dust and smog in the sky, when the real reason is scattering, the refraction of light by the molecules and objects in the atmosphere, not the smog and stuff much lower. He also defines latitude as a given amount, when it is actually the breadth of light individual camera sensors can record, normally about 5 or 6 stops. Made the rest of what he taught suspect at best. Glad I caught this for $25 rather than the huge first release price.
Jared is a great teacher! This course is much better than I imagined because it is not only about fotography, but also about passion. I loved it!
I was in the studio for this workshop and it was so, so much more than just about efficiency. Jared is a fantastic photographer and teacher, and makes everything so accesible. He covered Lightroom, presets, lighting equipment,software, music, artisic development, even, dare I say it, the soul of a photographer. I recommend this to anyone needing to spend a lot less time doing things you don't need to personally do, and/or anyone who needs to improve their artistry or technical skills. Do more. Waste less time. Share your work. Oh... and buy this course. :-)
