I was a wedding photographer back in the day of 35mm film and lab processing and wish I had the knowledge you give freely and in such detail. I am, with my daughter, getting back into portrait photography and these videos have been a great help. Thank you so much and hope you can continue to teach and carry on your tradition.

  • Watching one of your videos, I realized that I was far from knowing all the possibilities of basic elements such as masks, curves and blend modes. So I've decided to fill the gap by subscribing to your channel and following your training courses, including and especially those on basic tools, because with you I'm discovering how to use them better and go further. Even if I have to display the subtitles and reduce the speed (I don't speak English very well), it's a real pleasure to watch your videos, because you explain things so well. Thank you so much for this video, which will help me to do more and better with masks.
