Students Love the Zone. System
Thanks for the great mind-broadening workshop. This class/workshop has been an amazing, eye-opening experience for me
Thanks all for this incredible class. And thank you all for sharing thoughts and ideas.
I thought this was a fantastic class, especially as a novice. The lessons were clear and easy to follow and seemed to work well for multiple people at different skill levels.
Daniele covered the ground swiftly but without haste. So a lot packed into the couple of hours!
I really enjoyed this course. Even though I can see all my mistakes in photography in full view, and I have much to learn, I am very excited by the opportunity to keep studying.
A lot of the learning curve is tech related but a lot is how to frame and see. How do we think about the image we make in order to have an impact, etc. Without committing to a learning curve, we risk making less impactful work.
