Jeff Stefan

My name is Jeff Stefan and Im a professional photographer and videographer. Ive been shooting for many years and learned how to shoot with a 35mm film camera with a fifty millimeter lens. From 35mm cameras I moved up to 120 or medium format cameras and professional DSLRs. I shoot digital stills and video in my day to day work but still have great affection for film. I like using old cameras, particularly vintage DSLRs for fine art photography.

REALLY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND COVERS ALL THE BASICS

Great content

By Tim Donovan on 1/5/2019

It is very basic, even rudimentary, with a lot about equipment and virtually nothing about using the equipment. For example, he showed light meters but not a word about where in the frame to measure the light. The course would work for someone with virtually no photographic experience. Further, even for them, so many details are missing that they are likely to become frustrated when their images are not close to the examples in the course.
