    Thoroughly enjoyed this event, Felipe, the host is very informative and knows his work. I highly recommend this class and host for newbies like myself who are new to photography. I am so new, that this class is where I took my first photo with a camera I?ve owned for over 1 1/2 yrs. But too intimidated to use. I thank Felipe, for helping me overcome this fear. Well done young man. Regards Timothy Courtnage

    Great. It was challenging, informative and provided good "on location" experience. "1. taking a selfie without holding camera or using a tripod" was a good technique to attempt and master. "2. Pairing up and photographing your partner at an outdoor location while paying attention to settings and composition" - also a good challenge. "3. Approaching strangers and asking to take their portrait" - also a great experience to push one out of their comfort zone. I was happily surprised with how much I got out of this session, being a fairly advanced photographer. I give it 5 out of 5.

    Myself and a friend would go out and shoot together and we that night we picked sunset at bayfront. There was a children's performer singing and mosquitos were feasting but the light was perfect so we stuck it out. I tried so many different edits and they all looked ok before I stumbled into this final edit and even now I'm not sure I couldn't go over it again and again. It's one of those images that I like but I always feel has more in it. We've been back to this location a few times hoping for
