Loved this class. Great basic essential information. Mike filled in many gaps concerning my knowledge of studio photography.

Love the natural way Mike has to explain and to work on the studio. Plenty of tips and clear knowledge transfer for me that I manage quite well natural light but that I still mess with the on-camera flash.
