Great course and teacher!
Excellent course that I plan on referring back to again and again. The instructor presents a perfect mixture of fundamentals and style. Her creativity in terms of beauty, fashion, aesthetic and color is off the charts. I followed her Instagram page afterwards. Highly recommended.
Muy interesante y practico para poder aprender, aprovechar, guiarnos para las sesiones con la luz natural
I don't think the course is good. So far the information is very basic and it seems to me alot of the structure and information if copies from other courses on the platform. Also the information provided is very poor it doesn't seem very professionally put together at all.
