Blown away by Seth’s teaching approach

I was blown away by Seth’s teaching approach. So patient, fun and understanding with us all as we went over basic concepts that were initially very intimidating (to me). I really enjoyed myself and loved all the tips and explanations he offered. I am so thankful to have taken this class and hope to see more from Seth.

Seth is amazing

Filling our minds

An amazing day

Good morning Seth,

I want to thank you for an amazing day.  I have never been in a professional studio and it was another world for me.  I so appreciated your sharing your knowledge and passion with us and taking care to answer our questions.  I am entirely intrigued with the magic you create with lighting and can only imagine the time you have spent in your career building your craft.  At this point in my life, if I could do it over again, I just might choose to have taken my degree in photography!  It seems like a path to lifelong learning.

If you ever teach an extended class on lighting (more for beginners) and hands on, I’d love to attend.  I can see that solving these problems would be challenging and a lot of fun.  I am so delighted our paths have crossed.

With gratitude, Ivy

Hi Seth,
Good Evening! Thank you so much for a wonderful class, your teaching style is so fun and patient. I really enjoyed myself and loved all the tips and explanations you offered, I can’t wait to test them out. I have told two friends they have to take your class and are very interested so I hope you offer this again and continue to share your knowledge with us. I am so thankful to have taken this class and hope to see more from you (if you have the teaching time, of course).
Have a beautiful week and thanks again for the class and all the reference links. Very much appreciated!

Warmly,

special day of learning

Dear Seth,
 
Thank you so much for the special day of learning!! My mom has already called me to say how incredible the experience was for her, and David shared how much he learned. I learned things I never even thought I would… like about histograms.
