I have been shooting with dark and moody lighting for a while before this class, but I still learned several things. You never know what you'll pick up in a class on a topic you are already familiar with. The class was concise and covered the entire process from set up to editing. Grest for beginners and internediate photogrpahers alike!

Die Dozentin erklärt alles sehr gut, obwohl der Kurs auf Englisch war konnte ich alles problemlos nachvollziehen. Sehr symphatisch. vielen Dank für den angenehmen Kurs.

I love the course instructor's presence and detailed explanation of course contents. Slow speaking and the video was put together in a very professional and appealing manner.

I really liked this course! And I love her simplicity - get a window, a chair, some coffee beans and go! I loved the set ups, the various tips and tricks. And I didn't need to buy a ton of equipment to have fun.

I don’t like leaving a negative review but the course is not up to the standards. Don’t waste your money and search for moody photography in Pinterest as most of the course referring to it.

Até agora ainda não estou convencida!

An excellent course which teaches you about the angles for taking photos and the lighting effects for dark and moody food photography. Also how to set the scene and edit photos so that they are pleasing to the eye.
By Annamária Ibos on 4/28/2018
Love the idea of taking photos of dark objects. Alexandra's style is very easy to follow and I would recommend her course to everyone who would like to broaden their perspective on photography.

I really love the course. it is well structured, the instructor is really good to watch, the audio quality is also good however the volume jumps sometimes but the visuals make it forgivable. I love the mood and the overall positive and motivating feeling that comes through the course. I am just at the beginning right now, but I am really engaged and definitely continue watching. I already got some ideas and inspiration for my next shoot for food photos, it is my hobby btw. I am really looking forward to see the real outcome of the course. I am sure that I will not be dissatisfied! Thank you.
