I’m a digital photographer, will this course apply to me?
It is important to note that while the course is certainly open to digital shooters, Erich shoots almost entirely on medium format film. There are a few sections in the course that apply to how Erich shoots, and will cover film, why I use it, how I use it, and other film-focused topics. There is still much to be gained by digital shooters who take this course, but I do want to make sure that it is clear that film photography will be covered.
I’m new to photography, will this course be too advanced for me?
Individuals just starting out with photography are absolutely encouraged to use this course as a launching pad for their professional wedding photography career.
