I can not believe how much I learned from this tutorial. I thought I was pretty proficient in Photoshop but I learned so much. Your tip for my Sony files was worth the cost alone. You are an amazing instructor and it was so easy to follow.

I had been looking for a mentor in photography to pick the brain on. I could not find any one locally. May be none would want to train a potential competition.. Lol. Of course, I found tons of material on YouTube. However, since I was watching several videos by various artists from different genre, the information I gathered lacked consistency. I ended up with a lot of information but I did not know how to put them to use at my scenarios.
Then after a careful evaluation, I finalized on Daniel Venter. He is simple to follow and easy to copy. I have not seen anyone else explaining natural light for your best advantage while you are out with your camera. Tons of material to watch and learn. You will be guided through all steps from setting your Color temperature on camera, dress to select, directional light, interacting with your subjects, posing them, post production, preparing photo for social media, the list goes on and on. Pretty much everything you need to feel confident and to succeed in this field.
All the best Daniel. Some day I will shoot the kind of photos you do and see you at the top.
