    Loved every min, Brookes teaching style is so much fun and kept me interested the whole session as usually I skip forward when I find things boring and this is not a boring session at all. I am so looking forward to painting my 8 year old daughter and I know my daughter will love being a model for me too, Thanks Brooke for showing how inexpensive it can be with a bit imagination to create.

    Brooke is very talented, and I really enjoyed seeing these ideas. I don't know if she will read this, but my one concern was the baby powder. There can be health concerns related to breathing in baby powder. Please research before use.

    This is what I've been needing! Brooke I love ya

    This is a very specific class, which isn't applicable to all styles of photography as noted by another reviewer, but I think it is clear by knowing Brooke's work. My only disappointment is I would have liked to see what she would do with the final images.

    WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEEN A FINISHED PROJECT. COULDN'T IMAGINE THE LOOK THAT SHE WAS GOING FOR HOWEVER I STILL ENJOYED THE CLASS.

    I just love your approach Brooke - it is like a sense of freedom.

    The course is titled: How to Transform a Photoshoot for $10 or Less. As a wedding and portrait photographer, I hoped to see more universally applicable concepts. In no way am I taking away from Brooke. I respect her work; however, her genre is very atypical. Her love of themes of death and blood are reflected in style of the long, white body painting and cob web segment. The baby powder segment was too long and again, not applicable for most portrait photographers. The course description should more clearly describe this talented artist's tastes so one could decide if purchase is specifically applicable.

    I have purchased all but one video, which I will in the next week ..... With that said, I love her work, inspiration, ideas, and of coarse, now, her knowledge. She is an awesome artist with such talent!

    I thought this was well worth the money for the ideas -- she's a very creative and imaginative photographer, and she basically gives you inspiration and permission to experiment. Can't wait to try these ideas on some of my senior models. And yes, she was charming and adorable and was using a manual focus lens and she was joking she might need glasses because she had trouble finding focus. But the point of this class was not technical expertise (although I know she has it, even if her vision was failing her here) -- it was creative inspiration. Recommended, esp. if you are in a rut.

    I disagree with the other review. Brooke did a phenomenal job with this class. Anyone who has ever looked at her work knows that she is well beyond the basics of photography. Brooke has a great sense of humor, bubbly personality, and creativity and talent coming out of her ears. This class is full of great ideas for photographers that are on a budget and looking for new ideas. I just saw it, but may be buying it in the near future.
