Beginner Photography Classes Online

If he's been using the software since it began, why does he use the term "font" for "typeface". Fonts are NOT typefaces; typeface is the style of lettering. Also, an ellipse is not an oval and an oval is not an ellipse.

As relevant as ever, a treasure trove of lighting information.

These classes are great! The blog is great also!

Great course, John Greengo is my favorite presenter I like all his courses. Thank you so much

Jan/2025 Great short class with condensed relevant content regarding the basics of photography. Amazing teacher - clear speech, straight to the point, and with a nice jokes and funny demos.

Great class to help you establish and understand workflow in Lightroom Classic. I also loved the presets that accompanied the class.

Jared really does have a fantastic style. His pace and articulation are perfect for following along and the detailed editing of the videos, themselves, makes it really easy to absorb. Well worth the clams, for sure.

Brilliant class, highly recommended!

Wonderful. I am a (very curious) amateur photographer and for me this was all really interesting. Clearly spoken, nice examples, very educational indeed. Some doubts about making (too?) many changes in photos with generative AI, changing color, etc.: where does editing of a real word picture change into painting and creating something non-existent? And in some lessons the transcript (and subtitles) are missing. For people not having english as their mother language they are sometimes quite helpful. All in all: very recommended!

This course was fantastic! Pye is an incredible teacher. He knows not only his stuff, but also how to explain it and make it simple for the beginner. I knew very little about flash photography when I started, and I'm no pro now, but I understood all the bases and am ready now to start working on it. I can't wait to start trying all this stuff out! I also loved that he is very engaging and funny, making the course interesting and easy to follow without getting bored. I definitely recommend this!

Brillant ! What an educator. Chris has the talent to make all technical difficulties easily understandable and uses the right tools for it. Many thanks for all the energy and the work that he put to achieve such a remarkable result.

Really good class!! A lot of classes I've taken thus far have gone too fast or had an instructor that just tells you everything without you being able to actually follow along with your hands on the software. I learn best by doing... not just listening. With this class, it was easy for me to split the screen and do everything the instructor did - and really learn in the process. I will definitely watch for more classes from Jared Platt!

Great starter class with just the right amount of information to pique your interest to learn more about each topic. Highly recommend for the beginner to start here!

I have watched a lot of classes and tutorials on lighting and this is the best of them all. So much information about all aspects you need to know to become a light master. Thank you!

Great course!

I enjoyed watching this course and watched it four times. Chris gives very good explanations and I like how he changes the scenery for his explanations and gives examples. I watched this as a free course and will definitely purchase it. 10/10.

Fantastic class! Very thorough, well organized, and easy to understand. This was exactly what I needed. I feel much more confident getting started in large format. Highly recommend!

you are doing well

John has a helpful way to demonstrate how to learn and understand some of the terminology of using a camera. This class breaks down a LOT of the complicated areas into simple language and with examples that can be understood to someone that is starting out in photography. John has a friendly approach with a clear voice for teaching a beginner. Learning is also about doing, making mistakes, understand what I need to apply to get the shot right. I have some homework to do to do. Shoot in raw, composition, direction of light angles. I would certainly RECOMMEND this course. Excellent explanation on learning. Helen😊 ( Australia)

This is among the finest Photoshop courses available online. It closely mirrors an in-person class experience, complete with assignments and a workbook. I look forward to the day they offer the same class designed for Photoshop on the Pc.

John is an amazing teacher and photographer.

This content is amazing.

Game-changing for me. I'm fairly "young" as far as my photography journey is concerned and even "younger" with regard to editing. This course opened my mind to the artistry, exploration, and fun of editing. What a lucky break to find and take this class while also learning how to use Lightroom.

The production value of this course is annoying. This was in the reviews from two years ago. Please remaster this content and correct the problem. Chris does a good job of explaining photography fundaments. It is excellent that he goes beyond the " nuts and bolts" and gives creative application examples. Thanks, Tom

There are specifications of Fundamental Photography. This post ticks all the marks. Specially shutter speed, aperture, and image composition. Will wait for the next one.
