For me, Kasia is very descriptive in her teaching and the course material is very easy to understand.
Hartmut Wilms –
The contents of the course is very well explained verbally. It actually deserves 5 stars. However, the choice of pictures to demonstrate effects in some parts is unfortunate. It begins in the sessions on aperture. In this case the light conditions – maybe due to heat/cold variations – are softening the background and therfore reduce sharpness. And the statement that using low aperture values result in high depth of field is not conveyed at all. The same goes for shallow depth of field and the first corresponding picture, in which almost nothing seems to be sharp. In the Camera Raw part some of the corrections do not apply to the chosen image at all. It would have been better to choose different images to show how to correct actually existing issues.
So, why 5 stars? Because the slides and the explanation of the topics is simply great and the ideas are conveyed even without proper photo material. I hope that Kasia will improve the course by exchanging some of the pictures with alternatives that are a better fit to demonstrate what she is explaining.

This course is very straight forward and it helped me learning the facts that I needed to know straightaway.

The instructor was describing Manual Mode and then went directly into exposure compensation but did not clearly elaborate on HOW one adjusts EC when in Manual Mode.
Although I did learn some adjustment techniques, I was disappointed in that Mastering Photographic Exposure implies learning better exposure techniques but the course was more geared to PS enhancements.

On this course, Kasia focuses a lot on the theory part of visual arts, this is a very good educational course and not only a “follow what I do tutorial” … After taking this course you will have very comprehensive knowledge about the exposure triangle, histogram and RAW image processing. I recommend this course to anyone … Buy it, you won’t regret it …

Kasia is excellent. Very bright, very artistic, and very communicative. I also like that she does not over-manipulate her photos. Although I use Capture One and ACDsee instead of ACR and Photoshop, her course has given me great instruction and guidance applicable to the software I’m using. I’m learning a lot. Thanks Kasia. I’ve also signed up for some of your other courses.
