“Learn
from the Experts”
No matter how much we learn from reading books or
studying videos, nothing can replace a photography masterclass where
the experts give us the benefit of their years of experience.
This section of better-photographs will
give you an insight to the numerous lessons learned by the masters
themselves as they have risen to the very top of their specialist areas
of photography.
There are a number of links within each class which will take you
directly to further reading and ideas.
