By Angel M

I’ve really enjoyed the course so far it’s been incredibly informative and well-structured. The way you break down composition, planning, and editing makes the process feel much more approachable and intentional. I especially love how you emphasize developing a unique photography style rather than just following trends. The sections on mood boards and storytelling have been particularly inspiring, helping me think more creatively about my shoots.
