Full-Time Professional Photographer
Hi, my name in Brent Mail and I’m a full time professional photographer, which means that I make my living from photographing people. I am a lover of great photography, the outdoors – especially the ocean – a good Thai curry and of course a custom hand-crafted espresso latte (which goes down better with friends). Oh, did I mention that I love sports too, especially the kind that gets the adrenalin pumping!!!Photography Teacher & Mentor:
I love to share my knowledge & passion for photography with others. I run a number of photography workshops throughout the year, and love to help people understand the art of photography. This is my chance to interact with my students and get some valuable feedback, which I incorporate into my training videos.
Successful Photography Studio Owner:
I started and run a small boutique photography studio near the beach in the quite seaside town of Anna Bay, Port Stephens (about 2.5 hours drive north of Sydney, Australia). I have hand picked my crew, and we all love what we do, as you will see once you come into our studio for a coffee and a chat.

I just seems like there is a lot of missing information in this class. I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth with this course. Unfortunately since I had to travel outside of the country and now it’s just outside of 30 days I guess I won’t be getting a refund. I’m just not satisfied with this course and I feel that there was more self promotion rather than educating the student.

Good tips on shoot HDR and long exposure. I would have preferred if he slowed down just a bit because it was difficult to follow all the moves that he did with the editing.

I got a lot of helpful tips in taking sunsets. I like how excited he was in taking the photos and made you feel apart of the whole experience. I like how he listed what you needed as far as equipment and explained the filters as well.

Good clear tips still relevant 4 years on, can definitely see myself using the information and stepping up the quality of what I do. I generally shy away from editing - so this has given me more confidence to do more in lightroom and photoshop.
By Kenneth Mathes on 6/15/2017
needs more on setup and # and less on photo shop If i'm not happy with the shot i will not use it . i want the buyer to see what i seen when i took it. not what i can cover up
By John Wiley WIlkerson on 2/3/2017
The course seems to focus on using equipment that I don't have rather than the more standard SLR cameras. The focus was more on post-shoot manipulation rather than shooting recommendations and issues.
By Sameh Shahien on 11/27/2015
This course is good in editing photos but it need to more information about using the filters and how to set your Nikon camera The instructor need to need to explain slowly and more focused
By Judith West on 5/18/2015
Certainly has helped me to get the correct settings for sunset pictures that I can create. Very clear and precise speaker. Loved this course
By Steve Sullivan on 6/20/2014
A good beginner and intermediate class for those not familiar with capturing a sunset. Also covers a few easy and basic editing techniques for Photoshop. Quiz's could contain a few more questions. Overall a good class.

At last I'm grasping how the ND filters are used to create such impressive shots. Thanks Brent for your clear and easy to follow demonstrations.
