It was too much of a overview for me, with little detail on teh technical aspects of camera settings and techniques.

Quite awful with misleading title. It took me months to finish this due to the incredibly dull content. There are so many boring interviews that weren’t necessary and just made the whole experience so bad.

I feel it is unclear who the “target audience is”Very little practical information/lots of interview though!! ….. also how you can class the 1 minute introductions/assignments a “lesson” baffles me!!! Quite honestly very disappointed as was really looking forward to this.

This should definitley be re-titled as An Introduction to PORTRAIT Photography with Rankin. Since there's no wildlife, landsacape, street, very little photo journalism etc. etc. you should make it clearer what we are going to get here. That said, this is a brilliant study of Portrait photography. I prefer a show-don't-tell approach, so the bit with the Post-Production guy was a little annoying, just because I wanted to see him in action, moving the sliders and swiping some brushes over images.

As an introduction, it’s a fantastic course. I rated it 4 stars because I’m a pro photographer so I did have to skip a few lessons. However, I’m always learning and a lot of the lessons did inspire me and I’m always fascinated by Rankin and his work. My favourite lesson was watching him shoot in the studio. I want to see more!! Rankin, can you do an advanced course or even just recordings of you in the studio? I would recommend this course, it’s the best introduction to photography that I have seen.
