 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you, sir, for making the basics of photography so easy to understand. The session was very clear and easy to follow, and you explained even the tricky parts in a simple, relatable way. Especially the exposure triangle, correlating aperture with a window, the composition rules through real examples from your work, and the art of storytelling — those parts really stood out and gave me a new perspective. Your examples made it much easier to connect theory with everyday life. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into the session. It was very insightful and inspiring.

Personally, I also really enjoyed learning about the history and evolution of photography. I like understanding how things developed into what we see today, and the first class covered that beautifully.

Even though the classes have ended, I’m left with a long list of things I want to learn and practice — which is a great takeaway. Along with going out to click photos more often, I’ve also started watching the recommended movies to better understand composition and storytelling.

It’s also very helpful that we’ll have access to the notes. I’ll definitely keep coming back to them from time to time. Thank you once again for such a thoughtful and enriching learning experience!
