“Charlie, you are one of the best instructors I have ever had regardless of subject. You never talk over my head and sound like you actually want me to learn and not just earn yourself a pay check. I thank you. – Gerald S.
“I like the pace Charlie Borland is speaking, the images he uses and the narrative style of the presentation. The course is just amazing. He has so much important detail on the subject of photography. For example, I now understand how to use my flash, and trust me, I have many books on the subject. Best photo course.-Renzo D.V.

What they say:
This was by far the best course I have taken! – Joe C.
Better than ever expected. This course has taken me from zero knowledge to understanding how a huge amount of work goes into even one promo shot in a catalogue. This course does not hold back or sugar coat the work behind the great photos or give you constant reassurance – it honestly teaches all areas of the experience from taking better photos for your own benefit through to what the most professional client would require. I’m very grateful for Charlie Borland to be so helpful and present in such a lovely manner it makes the experience very rewarding and easy. -Michelle C.

-Angela P.

Clay Rider –
This was more about the business side of Nature Photography. I was really interested in HOW the shots were set up, what exposures were used, what did you do in PS to get the end results. Im looking at doing photography in my retirement to have fun and make a little money so the big business side of this was not important to me at this time. Still, I did learn some useful information that I will take with me. Also, love seeing pictures of areas around Central Oregon as I lived, climbed and skied from Bend for 10 years.
Thanks Charlie
