  1. A very useful class and I would appreciate more classes like this on how posing your subject makes an enormous difference…hands…shoulders…knees…etc…

  2. This is my maiden Visual Education course I’ve taken. I think it was very enlighten and educationtal.
    I’m a 76 year old man trying start out in the professional photography business . I love how Karl talks this reminds me of my father who was born and rise until the age of 12. He’s was from Glasgow Scotland..
    I look forward to the next class.

  4. These tips are important … they are the basis of everything, and not all photographers are honest enough to share them. Karl , couple shooting using a flash, would it totally change the look? because this natural light is only at a certain time and it changes a lot, so maybe we can get even more creative?? Thanks

  7. Many times posing the subject is nightmare, because if posing is not good except everything else is good also, the photograph doesn’t. look appealing.

    This session helped me a lot and instilled huge confidence.

    Thanks a lot
