Why I teach?

I believe that education makes the world a better place and our generation is so blessed with the availability of information specially online. Over the past years I have immersed in studying and researching and that’s when I discovered my calling for teaching. I did not want all the learnings to stop with me, I had a strong burden to share it with the world and somehow make someone’s life easier by collating and turning my mistakes, knowledge and experiences into a well organised online course. There is nothing more beautiful than giving and changing a person’s life through teaching.

The course was very simple to follow and great for beginners. Probably add recommendations of hardware for beginners, such as the type of tripods to get. Really loved the calmness of the teacher!

By Rene Barron on 5/8/2026

This course has been a great match for me - it is exactly the level I was looking for and the instructor is so kind and encouraging. I already enjoy taking photos and learning about composition and editing tools available in my iPhone is helping me achieve my goal.

lack depth, examples are just typical

By Reni Racheva on 1/28/2026

Really nice up to now. Presenting real life environment. Provides personal examples to explain how to tell a story with a photo and what emotion we want to provoke with the photo.

By Udemy User on 12/27/2025

Ms Rose’s course is very engaging and informative so far! Her passion for photography shows right through and she explains everything very well. Love that she incorporated meaningful & inspirational quotes in her videos as well!

By Alexandra Pereira on 12/19/2025

Great course! Super useful and well explained! I got very good tips to improve my photography. I recently got my 16 Pro and doing this helped me a lot. Officially a big fan of yours. Thank you so much

By Mark Hirowatari on 11/11/2025

It is an OK match. I have an iPhone 12 and they lessons seem to cater to iPhone 13 and above.

By Magi on 9/28/2025

I'm only on Section 4, but so far, this has been a great course! Rose offers much more than the title suggests. She not only provides technical skills but also the "mindset" behind creating great photos! The material is well-structured, easy to understand, and presented with examples. Thank you for creating this! I'm excited to go through the rest of the course.

By Elpida V on 8/28/2025

Very nice and insightful course for beginners! I learned to set up my phone camera right, tweak the photos I take and look for the appropriate setting! Thank you!

By Shafi Yaftali on 7/25/2025

I truly love this course. I never knew how many great things my iPhone camera could do, but thanks to Rose, I can now use it in my daily life.
