Unique Outdoor Photography Techniques

I find that using a photography flashlight with a dimmer and various light temperatures renders better results.

I love Matt's matter-of-fact way of teaching. He is always humble about his knowledge and quick to point out his own mistakes, making him seem very approachable. Plus, he knows a sh*t ton about Lightroom.

Gave me a new way of seeing from an artistic perspective. I can now embrace the blur!

Excellent class for beginners of Macro Flower Photography. I especially enjoyed how in depth the video was working directly with the two students. Flashing back and forth to the actual photos taken to see the individual changes. I was so inspired I went out and recreated the make shift photo studio/lab the students were using at the end.

What a fabulous course. I have all three of Frans Lanting's classes on creative live and they are the best. I have purchased dozens of classes by other photographers and honestly, these are the ones that never grow old and I always come back to. So grateful he took us into his studio at the end. Fascinating to see how the pros set up their studios. His soft spoken manner makes me eager to hear more. He is simply the best.

When a e-book/class on frozen flowers?

I finished taking this course The Art of Flower Photography, and I did it in my record time, 2 days. Yesterday I stayed until 3:00 in the morning and I didn't want to stop, it was so wonderful I found it. Also, I was very impressed and pleased with Kathleen's knowledge. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge!

I am really enjoying. the class. Unf.ortunately most of the software mentioned in this course is unavailable now and I would really love a video on how to create my own textures to use instead of buying someone elses. Thank you, your work is inspirational.

Very informative class from the point of view of an artist. Concepts explained well with tons of examples. I'm so glad I took this course. Will be looking at flowers and backgrounds more carefully and from various angles now. I will also say that Ms Clemons' voice is pleasant and easy to listen too.

I appreciate Kathleen's style of explaining the story behind her images. It is helpful in opening up a new way to view flower subjects. I explored this class as inspiration in a completely different genre from what I actually shoot and I believe I'll have to give floral art a try, as well, just for the fun of it.

Wonderful class! I learned quite a bit and I am excited for the spring when I can get outside again.

I don't think I will ever look at a flower the same way again. In fact this class has taught me that I need to take the time to observe everything from different angles. I learned so much!

Straight forward, easy to digest. Highly recommend.

I’ve been taking flower photos for several years, but I realize now I wasn’t paying nearly enough attention to the background. This course helped me tremendously. Thank you!

I enjoyed this class. Lots of great tips. I can't wait to shoot some flowers.

I've been doing more flower photography this year and after shooting many hours I found and watched this course. Her work is very good. It was educational to learn how she creates her artistic views (not documenting). She's also clear and engaging. Very good.

Excellent course. I learned so much. Now I am going to use 180mm lens more, think about slective focusing, use f3.5, work the flower, taken the bottom of the flower, use diffuser, blur foreground, try different aperture and take both portrait and horizontal format, choose the background carefully and more.

Thanks to lockdown, I have come across this video among others by Frans and finally got to meet Frans on video. I knew Frans from his NG photography on orang utan and rafflesia in Borneo. I am now hoping to try out his techniques to use reflector/diffusor on rafflesia flowers among others and telephoto lens to isolate flowers and orchids, use other accessories like clamp, outdoor loupe, lensbaby, softbox and more. I learned so much and highly recommend this most practical lessons both in the field and classroom.

Engaging, entertaining, and efficient in covering the key long exposure topics I've always wondered about. 10-stop ND, here I come.

As a macrophotographer i still learned a lot! Textures, creative techniques and much more. It's a very nice class to start with flowerphotography! Good job Kathleen!

Kathleen is one of the best flower photographers out there. She has the added bonus of being an excellent teacher and pretty much every sentence is packed full of useful information. I first watched this class a year ago, tried to put what she taught me into practice, and have just come back from a second viewing, which was totally worth it and I picked up all sorts of tips and tricks that I didn't take in the first time round. The only downside is that she has cost me a fortune buying new equipment!! This is one of the very best classes I've taken on Creative Live. There's no waffle and even the audience ask useful questions. Highly recommended.

Very useful Class Thank you

Awesome class with beautiful examples. I will probably watch it again.

Hi Kathleen thank you very much for this informative course. I loved every bit of it. Wonderful images.

Wow! This class came along just at the right time in my photography journey. I have been a hobbyist for a few years and after watching this excellent class, my heart began to sing with anticipation. I ordered my first Lensbaby (85mm Velvet) and have found real joy in photography. Thank you Kathleen for sharing your heart in this class and inspiring others to create their own creative Art!
