I have been working as a freelance videographer for the last 4 years and I love sharing my experience!

I like the topic the speaker covered about using multiple items in your home to help with your lighting setup.
By David DuPont on 10/11/2023
Well done. He has a very easy speaking style and communicates well. His demonstrations get the topic across well. This is a entry-level course. But if you are new to this, you will have a good basic understanding to get started with.

It is a good introduction to the key concepts of lighting
By Bejamin Cooper on 10/13/2020
This was just what I needed to get my lighting back on track. The class gives an excellent dive into three point lighting and teaches you some details that make the difference between passible, good and on the mark lighting. It is well worth the time spent.

Yes, it is the basics that I needed
