There`s not a single good picture in this course. The place where the pictures are taken is horrible. The use of the equipment is ok, but the final result, terrible !

I assume the narrator of the course is also the photographer. If so, it is arduous enough to instruct well in own`s native language let alone a second language so it commendable that he is so. However, the closed-caption subtitles are an exact transliteration of what the instructor is saying in his Italian accented English which makes it very difficult to understand the technical terminology. A native English speaker should have edited the subtitles carefully.

The course was really good! I didn't find the voice over distracting at first but there was few times I had to go back to understand what was being said. Overall good techniques/overview of each of the different lighting methods

There needs to be text on the screen to describe what is being taught
because it would be very difficult to have to watch it over again and try to extract what is being said. I know the Instructor is experienced but
it is difficult to follow along, Thank you.
