“This course was amazing. I love the way Sara explains things and makes them feel so simple. It was so clear, to the point, and filled with golden nuggets throughout! I’ve never heard anyone explain pushing film so well. I felt like I actually learned something I can apply to my digital work too. I watched a few of the lighting scenarios right before shooting my mini-sessions— and then came home and watched again. So helpful! I was excited to go through each section and eager for the next — that’s how you know it’s a great class.”

“I absolutely loved the course, especially all the live demonstrations. They were super helpful. The way Sara walked through the different types of lighting made a big difference for me. Before going through the course, every kind of lighting except overcast felt intimidating to shoot in. Honestly, I was mostly guessing what to do in various lighting situations. The videos are clear, informative and easy to follow and the creative assignments really help the material stick.”
