Eduardo Gonzalez –
Very good! Interesting and good amount of information.
Chd –
This course is really useful to me. Especially the activity part, I’ll insist on those challenges like “10 no challenge”,”make at least 10 pictures of the scene”. I think it will help me to overcome the fear during the street photography and improve my technique. Highly recommend!
Lawrence LeDuc –
Erik is a wonderful teacher! His creative passion and enthusiasm are infectious! A wealth of information and masterful wisdom is presented in a short condensed format yet broad in scope. I am inspired to reignite my long interest in photography. Thank You Erik and TEAM!
Graham Smith –
Really enjoyed the style of presentation, but could do with using “also” a little less often. I’m far from a beginner, but found Eric’s insights interesting and useful.
*Although, I have left my comments below, I have just revised my star rating, as overall I think this is a great course for the beginning photographer, especially given all the extra resources provided.
Eric’s character and interests (street and everyday life) dominate this course, which gives it a different character to most beginners courses, which often follow a fairly standard formula. So there is no discussion on things like landscape, wildlife, and sports photography etc, but you do get a deeper introduction into core elements of making better photographs.*
However, it is a bit repetitive with the same photographs, with the same comments being used more than once, and advice being repeated. Was this several different courses combined into one? It could do with a little tidying up.
I felt it covered a little too much, e.g. how to install Lightroom, which interrupted the more creative elements of the course for me, and I ended up just skimming through the Lightroom parts, but this was only a small part of the course, and may well be useful for a proper beginner.

It’s very detailed. Can’t wait to learn more!
Jacques Bradwejn –
Great quick overview for amateur and passionate amateur. Short but comprehensive and designed from experience. Great value for money.
Kevin Kazakevich –
I have several expensive fim rangefinder cameras and no digital camera. I did not take any photos for ten years and started experimenting with my Makina 67 last year. I think the conversion of film scanned and printed degrades the image. It is very expensive for me to take photos with this gear.
So you have covered examples of every kind of camera and have a great introduction.
Paul Schmit –
Concise guidance through essential elements of photography, clear structure and excellent presentation

I am not a beginner. I learn nothing new. Even if I am not a master.
This course is for the one who never take a picture before.
This course was a part of a bundle. I don’t really choose it. It cost less to buy it with another…
Roman Emin –
Eric Kim is a renowned street photographer, his artwork is fantastic and the way he teach and approach photography is excellent. Mixing street photography with personal insights and even philosophy makes his teaching enjoyable. I may be a little bias towards his works as I’ve been a fan since many years ago, watching him growing professionally and artistically. Finally, I truly recommend this course, as is easy to followed and all terms and concepts are well explained.
Patrick L Green –
I took this course initially to study Eric Kim’s teaching methods as a model to innovate my own. I went through this with a beginners mind pretending i barely knew how to use a camera. So many teachers spend so much time on the camera features and Photoshop they never touch on the philosophy, passion, and fun. Does he speak to composition, lighting, edit, post, etc? Yes. Not only does he do that, he makes is approachable and challenging all at one. One tip. If you really want to get the full value of this course, but the resource section of every lesson. Sometimes it’s a link, other times a pdf. Download and bookmark. You will get far more out of this course. Special thanks to Eric Kim for teaching an old dog some new tricks!
Maria Lloyd –
I really enjoyed this course! It covered so much information, not just on the practical photography techniques, but marketing and confidence. A great course!
