Course is definitely good for biggers like me to understand, Camera, lighting, composition. The only thing what I miss in the Course is no settings or app explain in the Course but I thats fine as all camera settings are mostly similar for phone camera. Must Say It's a great learning experience . Thanks

The course is very straight forward and to the point and all the concepts are explained clearly so you can get straight to work immediately. This info also helps improve general photography skills so it is a double winner. Excellent!

Credo sicuramente di portare a casa più di qualcosa dopo aver fatto questo corso (sono già preparato sui concetti di esposizione e di luce, ma qualche cosa nella fotografia in dettaglio e sulla gestione della luce mi sono piaciuti e mi hanno arricchito). Dalla descrizione sembra possibile fare il corso anche con altri smartphone diversi dall'iphone ma non si fa nemmeno un accenno su eventuali prodotti da utilizzare su smartphone android. Inoltre tutta la parte di editing viene fatta su photoshop (e chi ce l'ha?, nei requisiti del corso non è segnato) con una velocità e compiendo operazioni in maniera molto veloce senza entrare nei dettagli. Tutto sommato per 12 euro è ok se non che ho pagato la stessa cifra per corsi molto più completi di questo.

So far I’m happy with what I’ve learned from the course and the instructor is clear and video is crisp and looks professionally shot, which really is important when you want students to keep focused on the materials being taught. A+ production value!
By Tracey Blackman on 2/17/2018
The first half was great, really detailed explanation of all the kit and how to take the shots was good. But the post production drove me insane! It was in photoshop and not everybody wants to splash out on the crazy price of photoshop and no alternatives were offered or talked about. He rushed through all the post production stuff, whizzing all over the place, zooming in and out which I found a little disorientating. He explaned, but not in a language that I really understood or could apply to another editor, so I was really disapointed with this. Considering this was an Iphone photography course - even some basic editing done on the iphone would have been something of far greater value to me and I'm guessing many others.

Dave is obviously a keen photographer and very experienced. He delivers the content well and gives lots of tips. In order to get the best out of the tutorial you have to download 645 PRO. I was slightly disappointed with this until I realised what a great advantage it is. The iPhone acts as a proper camera. I can throw my Sony away. Thanks Dave, I thoroughly enjoyed your training.

Very good information and covered a lot in a short course. The photoshop editing went a little fast and I think assumed priot knowledge of photoshop to get all those effects done properly. Excellent value and well presented in a friendly and entertaining style.
By Steven Kanovitz on 3/24/2017
Instructor is very clear and concise. No hemming and hawing, just right to the point. Many of the lessons are more of a review for me but its always goid to review the basics. Plus, he goes over the 645 Pro app which i slready own but dont use enough so im looking forward to learning more about it and how to effectively use it for profuct shots.
By Leon Clarke on 11/28/2016
Great Course! Very detailed and insightful. The only issue I encountered was that I am not as well versed in Photoshop so I was a little lost when he mentioned a few terms. Also the instructor moved along very quickly during these sections. I'm sure that I can resolve that on my own when reviewing those sections of the lesson. Overall this is a great course. I would highly recommend.

This was a good basic course for learning how to get more out of the camera in my phone. The instruction is offered at a nice even pace and was easy to follow. I would give it a 5 if there were a little more information on using Photoshop. I don't know anything about Photoshop (yet) and it was a little hard to follow what was being done with it. Overall, I recommend this course to anyone wanting to take good close up pictures with their phone.
