THE Photography Masterclass: Complete Course on Photography
Last updated: May 2025
Overview
This photography course changed this photographer's life...
"After more than 20 years of taking photos as a hobby, I decided that I wanted to know more about photography and finally leave "Auto-mode" behind me.
Should have done this much sooner: Chris explains everything in a simple manner but very thoroughly, and now; finally, all the puzzle pieces fall into place.
Great course, highly recommended."
