Joel’s Students Say
“I’ve been shooting for over 20 years and I would wholeheartly recommend this course. I loved every minute of it. Its like listening to a really good audio book on the train when you don’t want to hit your station. Joel has a mesmeric voice that just coaxes you along whilst dropping in fantastic hints and tips. Given the myriad of mediocre photography courses available today its a treat to find one at a decent price that offers the insight to one of photography’s greats. Just buy it, you won’t regret it!”
– Jez Dickson
“I very much enjoyed Joel Meyerowitz’s course. His passion for photography, and for teaching, is infectious, and it was delightful to go through the lessons and be inspired by his ideas. The presentation is excellent, the videos great, and the overall interface of the site makes it a great way to take a course.”
– Kirk McElhearn
“Thank you and the team for putting this together! I’ve been a professional photographer for 16 years and have been waiting 14 of those years to learn from Joel and you finally made it happen. I couldn’t be happier as I’m almost done with the courses and have learned so much already.”
– Saeideh Akbari
“I chose to study Joel’s course because he’s a living legend, and as a fellow street photographer, I believe his work transcends the art form into the sublime. There is something very dream like about his photos. Plus, his personality and unbridled enthusiasm are infectious.”
– Zack Whitford
