I have to say I have really learned a lot. I love that a raw file is included so we can follow along and edit what you are editing. I have a lot to still master but I really love the way you have taught patch tool ( something I never used before) and the way you use frequency separation vs how others used and taught it. I am mind blown by how you handle red skin. Fabulous tutorials. Best investment in myself so far.

Learned so much! This is the second time I’ve gone through this class. Used my own photo and worked right s as long with you. I post all my photos after using your tutorials and everyone thinks I’m a pro! Awesome! Thank you!

What an amazing tutorial which covers so many steps in detail! Loved the way you show sunlight direction, all your camera settings, how to achieve sharp images in lens itself and adding more sharpness in post processing. Loved the use of actions included in the edit, frequency separation, dodge and burn and so on. Thanks much for such a wonderful tutorial.
