Magical Noise Reduction Action
“I caught this on sale, and although I never have grain, I thought it may be a a good thing to have at that price.
I have a great camera and low light lenses.... but it happened !
Knowing what I know now, I'd pay 10x the price to have it at my disposal. It saved me a LOT of stress with the one time it happened!
Recommenced Recommend Recommend .... So easy !”
— Regina Meyerchick
Zero to Camera
“Great video. I've been a photographer for over 10 years, and I love how Ben goes over different camera brands, and things specific to each of them. Also, I learned to tips for extra sharp focus and how to program & use back button focus as well. Very comprehensive. I would definitely recommend this to both new and seasoned photographers that maybe don't know about all the options and features their camera may offer.”

Well worth the investment for anyone feeling like they don't really know where to start.”
— Karen Sebire

“I love the pace that Ben goes. I learned a lot from the class and took plenty of notes. I have always adjusted in Lightroom first and then moved into Photoshop never sharpening again. Big mistake!

Every single time I watch this, Soulful Critique and Meg's Journey Home, I feel something. I want to push myself to do some soul searching. I want to reach out for guidance. Those are things that are unfamiliar to me. CJ, you are gifted. You have this uncanny ability to reach people on a level that needs to be reached. You scare me...in a good way! Meg, you are an inspiration. I could never be as open to share myself with the world the way you are. I commend and respect you immensely.”

“CJ, you've done it again. 10 mins in and I had tears. The way you connect and really get to that place that needs unearthing is so powerful and moving. I had to stop the video a few times to really reflect on my own thoughts and answers to the questions you were asking these 3 incredible women. Two quotes I've written down in my Photography journal from today are: "No-one takes a photograph of something they want to forget" + "Look how beautiful my 'not ok' is". These two statements resonated so powerfully for me. Thank you CJ & Meg for bringing us into this depth filled series. I feel so honored to have watched this! xx Bekah”

I'm going to do it anyway. Thank you for the impact this has had on me! Truly honoured to have watched this. xx”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I am SO proud of you, Meg. I never judged because I always knew there was so much more. Maybe I didn't always understand before, but I do now. Thank you. Thank you for digging deep. Thank you for showing us. Thank you for leading the way.”
— Dena Powell
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“This is about all of it. About every single thing I have seen and understood--and then realize it was not the truth I understood about Meg's pictures, but my idea of "truth", and how the beauty raw and realness of what her life and truth is stunning. I hope people buy this. I hope people watch this and say: YES. I want to speak truth. and then JUMP.”

Simple Studio: Flash
“This is a really great tutorial to have! Not only is Melody an amazing Photographer, she is a very proficient instructor! She goes into great detail about how to use a flash on and off camera, explains the different types of modifiers and when to use each, discusses camera settings and then shows examples of each (along with do(s) and don’ts). And if that’s not enough, you also get a downloadable PDF with more information! This is a great addition to Megs’ Simple Studio Collection❤️”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Thank you for sharing your story, Meg & CJ. It was both inspirational, emotionally raw and insightful. Hugs lovely lady! I’m so glad I watched this one! Strangely, not only did it give me an insight to (Megs) your journey, but it also made me “think” about my own. Sometimes words fail, but images .... can capture the essence and raw emotion, which brings interpretational meaning. Interpretation of any image is uniquely to each soul, some like it some don’t. kindness.... is harshly under delivered in many situations just like this. Continue to be the kick Ass woman, the visionary and the rock that continues to emerge along your life’s path. Blessings to you.”
— Manuela Busack
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I remember the controversy over some of those images, I was there for that workshop and when I saw some photographers bashing Meg I stuck up for her like she was my sister! I was appalled at what people were saying. I felt like she was so misunderstood and people were jumping to conclusions about what the images were about. So, I love this 'conversation' with Meg & CJ. Meg is just real. She is truth. She does what she does, for herself. It's almost like her therapy. I can relate to so much of her childhood. And Meg and I are the same age so we grew up in the 70' and 80's. Not everybody can say they shoot for themselves. Many of us are shooting for our clients. This reminds us that we should also take time to shoot for us. Photography is my therapy. It keeps me grounded. I highly recommend you purchase Meg's journey home, especially if you are wanting to know more about the person behind the camera. Get to know her a little more.”
— KRISTIN HARRIS
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Absolutely breathtaking. I tried to type up this big sweet beautiful review but honestly I don't think any of that could put into words what I feel after watching this. Im speechless. This was one of the most touching things Ive ever seen. Your story, your growth as a person, your STRENGTH to be able to get here.. amazing! Im so very thankful for you. This by far is greatest thing you've ever taught. Thank you again.”
— Jordan Holt
Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“Here's the thing - Soulful Critique 1&2 are THE thing that I think was most influential of all things here on MBL for me.

Please, get all three Soulful's because I think your life will only improve upon watching them.”

“This was sooooo much more than I could have imagined! It was so amazing to see the depth of Meg's images and the deep truth and vision behind them. It is a lesson in humanity and a reminder to first seek to understand before judging the book by its cover. This should be a full length documentary!”

“Meg & CJ what a powerful journey. What a powerful message. Your story is uniquely you, but so many parts of it are parallel with mine. From the fire to the not being heard to getting into trouble, smoking at a really young age, riding in the back of my friends' father's cop car. Thank you for telling your journey. I can't wait to see where we go next.”

Newborn Studio: In-Home Natural Light
“This video is remarkable. So nice to see that small spaces really can work (the space that Niki shoots from in the 2nd "set-up" really is small). I would have loved to see a home that has even less light (like an apartment that has light blocked by trees and other buildings, but all in all, this was a helpful video. Plus you get some "free" wrapping tutorials, so that is cool!”
— Stephanie Pipes
Bubble Girl
“Love this tutorial. The way she explains her thought process all the way through makes this so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing Jessica!”
— Patricia Aichler
Fall in Love With Film
“This is a set of short video clips teaching you how to turn your home into a temporary darkroom. This is not a video around film photography or editing of film images in the darkroom. Having not been in a darkroom in over 12 years I had forgotten so many of these easy-but-important steps. CJ makes it easy to learn (or remember) how to load your film in the dark, how to ensure you know ratios of chemicals to water, and so on. For anyone who wants to create a temporary darkroom in their home, this is a perfect video for you.”
— Alonna Abella
Magical Gradients
“These are a game changer on the beach!!! I absolutely think they are a must have if you're shooting on the beach, and I wish you'd create more with the beach in mind, because I'd buy every one of them!”
— Kerrie Brogdon
Let There Be Light: Harshlight
“I really fell in love with this one. I struggle with the light and I enjoyed how meg slows it down. It made me really rethink about how I view shooting in the light. It’s seemed like a difficulty concept because I constantly hear not to and to only shoot and certain times of the day. This helps me not limit myself and I love how she explains. I love how she shoots full sun and shows the shade right after. So much to learn in this one. It’s a great buy.”
— Jaimie Keller
Outdoor Newborn
“Great collaboration of Meg and Niki joining their talents together. I love the concept of outdoor newborn and the fun creative ways shown here. And I must say I loved hearing how Niki soothed the baby with her humming hymns.”

I bought these 1....because the opening price was great and 2 .....because I get everything from Meg I can however, I wasn’t all that sure of the content after reading the description.

They’re perfect as refreshers for seasoned professionals, a first time MBL purchase, or just to Have around to watch before going out on a shoot to get the creative juices flowing. It’s well worth the money. I even learned something about focal lengths and how portraiture is impacted, and I’ve been at this a while and taken lots of MBL classes. If you’re a first time meg buyer, this is a great starter and demonstration of her offerings!”

Magical Nature Color Action
“Holy crap! I have worked really hard to get away from the overload of actions I got for Photoshop when I first started out by learning how to actually use all of the tools in the powerful beast that Photoshop is (yes, I have watched hours and hours of Meg's edits, they are amazing!) I bought this because the picture really caught my eye so I thought what the heck....I am absolutely in LOVE with this action! I tried it on some pictures I took for macro bootcamp this last week and all I could say was WOW!! I then went back through some older photo's just to see how it would behave through the seasons....I will tell you this, if you find yourself taking pictures of nature you NEED this action! It's great!”

— Susy Peters de Fehr
Newborn Studio: 6 Weeks Old
“I really liked this course and I think it's useful for babies who are between 7-14 days old that are also awake for those days. As someone wrote earlier, it would have been beneficial to see parent posing with older babies. But overall its a good course to go with the other Newborn collection.”
— Jessica Madero
Magical Marvelous Souls Imagined Action
“Really useful, saves me a lot of time in my workflow - Thanks.”

“I learned to use textures in some unexpected ways. This is a priceless tutorial that will give dimension and value to my photos and photography business.”
— Saundra Hunter
Zero to Swapping
“Another excellent class by the masterful Ben W. He is so patient, and thorough, its really an art in and of itself. He goes over SEVERAL techniques to swap elements between images... and not just people either... he also did a doggy! The only thing to make this class more useful is to have access to the images he works on, so we can follow along as he goes and practice in real time...”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Clone
“This is yet another stellar Ben W. course... there is SOOOOOO much info... tools I never even knew existed! Ben, per usual, doesn't miss one detail in his concept teachings. The only thing that would have made this better is having access to the same RAW files to practice along (especially for the part where he virtually built an entire shoe!).”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Print
“Ben is such a great teacher. He is meticulous in his teaching, and doesn't assume we, his students, might no one little detail... in other words he covers everything... he goes from A to B to C... and doesn't assume we might already know how to start at A. He's masterful, articulate, and smart.”
— Stephanie Pipes
Zero to Sharp
“Ben Willmore is a remarkable teacher. Many experts tend to forget to teach the "little and in-between steps," but not Ben! He is very VERY diligent in making sure we get every teensy little step. This video is great to learn some tricks for getting photos sharp (note: it will not help you fix a blurry/poorly taken picture). I highly recommend it. Have a notebook handy, and lots of time to start and stop the video.”
— Stephanie Pipes
Magical Marvelous Souls Imagined Action
“This action took alot of steps away from my editing. I was able to create a photo I wouldnt have came up with if I didnt use it. Its also really easy to use and tells you exactly what to do with each step.”

From Forest to Fantasy
“A great vision.., product of a great team of work. Thank you for share such a experience. I recommend this excellent edit.”
— Peace Photo PR
Stripped
“It was ok. I wish there was more teaching involved. You basically watched them do a session. You can tell they knew what they were doing and never explained why. It was good, I guess I expected more. And the models were exactly that, models. It would have been nice to see curvy girls and how they would posed them. In the beginning they talked about angles and how important they are and never ever went into it after. And when they were talking sets it would have been nice to learn how to create a layered set to compliment the client like the one they had. And not just add drugs as props. The shots were beautiful.”
— Marcy Schneider
Magical Wings
“Just a magical, beautiful and elegants wings overlays. Love the bonus too. Good and simple to understand tutorial. Cant wait to get the edit!”
— Peace Photo PR
Zero to Photoshop
“I am completely mind blown! I was hesitant to purchase this product thinking that I already knew the basics of photoshop. HA! Little did I know that I knew the very very very basics. I learned so much. Oh, and Bridge... I can not believe that I have been missing out on this for so long. Thank you so much for making these instructions easy to follow and teaching me so much.”
— Lacy Light

Reset: Overshooting
“This was meant for me! I always overshoot and then I DREAD editing the images because there are too many to pick from and it takes too long !”
— Trudi Smith
Zero to Sharp
“WARNING!! remember to have a notepad and pen ready! there is just so much info in this one. I have noticed posts where people feel their image lost sharpness, or looked different when posting on social media, Ben teaches you have to sharpen & save correctly for the internet, and goes a little into sharpening for print. Learning the different methods to use for sharpening and why you should use which one when! how to sharpen features & not wrinkles or uneven skin. shortcuts, workflow, saving so you can adjust later, just so much info. i love all the Zero workshops (so far i have watched Lightroom, photoshop twice, curves, skin 3 times, colour therapy) and got so much out of them. ben is an incredible teacher, so easy to understand, and so good at reinforcing things. I get aha moments out of all of them, and there was many in this one. No matter how much experience you have with photoshop i really believe you will get a lot out of this one. from now on i will start my sharpening in Lightroom, and i just feel really confident now that this will have a major impact on my editing. Thanks Ben and Meg. cheers”
— Joanne Duncan
Reset: Vision
“As the "Mandy" of this Reset, you have to know that my review would be 100 stars because this experience was incredibly profound. Then upon rewatching it in this way, I get to be blown away again and again. Even having experienced this personally, having this as a resource is amazing. I still take things away from it. I check back in here from time to time, just to hear Meg's words, and to continue to learn how to push myself, develop my vision and TRUST MY VOICE. This is a transformational experience for me, and an AMAZING resource for anyone that feels they've lost their voice, aren't living/shooting authentically, not creating in a way that speaks to them. I hope that so many people grow from this and learn, as I have, how to dig deeper and find their vision and voice so that they can grow into the person and photographer they want to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Meg, for choosing me for this journey and for teaching me so very much about myself and my soul. This was my own "Soulful Critique" and it has changed me for good.”
— Amanda Mele Daniels
The Magic in the Details – At Home
“I adore this purchase. Something I've neglected is to no only notice things in my world, but photograph them in a meaningful way. Watching and learning from Meg is (as usual) meditative and inspiring. It's helped me to learn how to see my world more clearly, to appreciate what I keep around me, to capture it in a way that speaks to me. Zero regrets buying this and watching it repeatedly. There's always a new take-away. Thank you Meg. - Mandy Mele”

“Another great Zero to ... workshop. As someon3 else said there is always the ah ha moments! little things that speed things up or make something easier to understand. I found this workshop very interesting, and I love the demos of how different tools can be used for the same results. The bonus downloads are brilliant, especially the colour wheel, I can’t wait to use this, asi always second guess skin tones! Cheers”
— Joanne Duncan
Zero to Curves
“This video renewed my excitement for editing, which was gone. I am proud of my images I'm posting and feel like I get more of what I envision when I begin without using a bunch of actions.”
— Shanti Clancy
Zero to Dodge and Burn
“It's hard to believe the how powerful a tool D&B is! I have been a Photoshop user for a very long time and just have not been able to unlock all the power of the tool simply because I didn't realize all you can do with it. Wow Ben, excellent video, thrilled to have it and many thanks to you and Meg for creating these easy to understand Zeri to videos. I'm just kicking myself for not getting it sooner!”
— Geri Biondich
Reset: Focus
“Hands down the best course I have purchased and watched to date. Meg works with a photographer that is struggling with focus and helps her to understand what she is not doing correctly. BUT she also shows how to make little changes to make the image more dynamic. This was such an informative class. If you are struggling with using manual focus, this is for you. There is so much information here! Thanks Meg for sharing your knowledge.”
— Saralyn JOHNSON
Digital Background: Sugar and Spice
“Absolutely beautiful! Everyone just loved this digital!! Love love these backgrounds!!”
— Nanci Harran
Zero to Curves
“Excellent, easy to follow and understand, Both meg and Ben really shine in this one. Curves is my first stop after lightroom/photoshop, and im excited to get started!”
— Joanne Duncan
Zero to Photoshop
“This workshop is incredible, Bens teaching methods, voice, the thorough way he goes through each point make this workshop a bargain at any price. I watched most of it when I first upgraded to cc, then I watched all of zero to Lightroom, and the. Came back to this, rewatched some and finished the last segments,
. Honestly, I really believe no matter how good you are at photoshop you will learn something here. So many nifty tricks, so many alternative ways of doing things. Watching these 2 workshops has cleaned up my PC, and cut editing time down by about 75%! No exaggeration! Simply brilliant, thanks Ben and Meg, cheers”

— Margaret Mizell
Zero to Lightroom
“I opened light room once when I got the new photoshop as it was bundled with it, and I had no idea! So I closed it! Sorting and editing was taking far too much time, and someone mentioned how easy Lightroom makes it. So I bought this in the sale, and it sat there! I was editing and my pics stunk when I uploaded to Facebook, so I ordered a colour monkey and sent my PC for repairs. While waiting I decided to give it another go. I have watched all of this, done of it twice, and I can’t believe how much I have learnt. And how easy Ben makes it. I watch about 45 min a day on my treadmill, and I have put all 46,000 images in the catalogue! I now feel ready to start sorting, renaming, getting rid of duplicates and basically making my life easier! Since watching overshooting I’ve got better at it, but I still have folders that need to be seriously cut down, and it’s o overwhelming. Lightroom makes it soooo much easier. When I got zero to photoshop I paid full price and it was worth every cent, and so is this one, (actually all the workshops are value for money, but we all love a sale!) ifyou have the patience when you start I strongly advise starting here, it makes photoshop look less daunting too, but mainly if you understand this, it just makes editing and sorting your whole library so much easier. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Cheers”

Newborn Chronicles
“I really love this whole series. So much good information! I recently moved into my very own small studio and am loving having everything in one place and not having to pack up a car and go anymore. I was especially interested in the editing section. I know Photoshop pretty well but have never really used the layers for color balance and doing gradient on the background the way Nikki does (I do it differently) but now I'm excited to try her way as it gives you so much more control. Best wishes on a great New Year in your new studio!!!!”

I've learned about your work only in February of 2018, but I was able to witness the amazing growth of your online school this year and I was so impressed how fast the Facebook membership community was growing. What a fantastic work! I didn't have to look for anybody's else classes after descovering you and your style. Yours and Ben's instructions are outstanding.

“This course is great for explaining laying the foundations into studio lighting. Not complicating the subject of flash and slowly building up the set up once fully understanding the basics which was achieved. I was hoping that some one would ask the question as to where the focus is when doing full body. Unfortunately no one did ask and I never know if the focus should be on the middle to get all in focus or if on the eye like when doing head and shoulders? Enjoyed”

Angels On Fire
“Angels on Fire is a story of evolution, told in a series of powerful portraits. Story conception, design, styling, posing, lighting, creativity, technical details are all a part of it, but the whole is SO much greater than the sum of its parts. Each scene is entirely unique - from couture to carefree childhood to epic empowerment, I cannot imagine anyone not connecting deeply to at least a part of this, which will undoubtedly lead to self-reflection and realizations you didn't even know you were missing (and if you just really don't want to do any reflection, there's still an enormous amount to learn on the surface about many different types of portraits and the details that go into making them). AOF is somehow both incredibly simple, and intensely complex - it isn't defined by any one style or lens or model, yet it's a fully cohesive creation. If you're on any type of journey of self-discovery, prepare to need to watch it more than once, possibly in a row, possibly months apart. It will change your life if you'll let it.”
— Jessica Buono
Reset: Overshooting
“I hesitated purchasing this one (not because I didn't want it), but because I bought so many others this weekend, and I didn't think that overshooting was too big of a problem for me. After watching this, I realized that overshooting for me was not paying attention to the small details, not waiting for the right shot, and not having confidence in myself as a photographer. I am so excited for my next shoot so I can practice not overshooting! This will save me so much time during shoots and during post process. This workshop is a MUST for anyone who takes more than a couple of photos per pose/set up, or for those of us who already know we overshoot. LOVED this!”

“Fantastic! I mainly shoot wildlife rather than portraits, and come home with way too many of the same shot "in case the bird flies off" and dread the culling process. Now to try to control my urge to snap frantically and slow down, only shooting when the bird is active or the head is in the right position. It is not really possible to "pose" wildlife so I must slow down and take advantage of the opportunity when it happens rather than "spraying and praying". I have learned heaps. Thank you so much.”

Sibling Sessions
“All I can say is another EXCELLENT workshop from Meg...... I already owned the edits because I’m crazy and own every single edit of hers! Lol. That’s the best way to learn is through watching her “sneaking” tricks to editing in so many different ways! No two are the same or take the same approach! Now with all that being said.... I bought this course because I wanted to see, “learn” how these shots were taken! So for me, again, I didn’t buy because it came with two edits..... I bought it to get the knowledge through Meg’s eyes on how she achieved to capture each image and the bbbus edits are sure nice, but if you are on the fence. Bout purchasing this course because you may have “own” the edits already....... Don’t you want to see how she accomplished capturing these images to edit? Well I sure did! I wish every edit I own came with the “how factor, and the why” factor she captured each image to edit in the first place.....
It’s on sale right now for $19 so you can’t beat that price to get to go behind Megs eyes/camera, thought process, composing to be able to capture such beautiful images to edit!
Thank you meg for offering the Behring look at achieving such great images. If you don’t have a great image SOOC to edit in the first place, then you have nothing to edit. I love that I have all her exits to be able to learn things I can do to my images to improve the overall look.... bug again, if I can’t capture that image on my own, then I don’t have much to practice her editing style on and then broaden my horizons and create a look that I can call my own style. Just because she edits her photos in a certain way, doesn’t mean I will edit my photo in the same manner..... her examples just open the doors, and my eyes to see different approaches that are a possibility and then I can take that to a different level and create my own style with what I learned. This is a well done course on “how” to capture stunning images, the bonus is the two edits that come with it to learn editing styles from!

“I believe that it is so important to be able to see yourself on so many different levels through different filters and experiences. And to understand who you are and why you feel, think, say, do..... This is a powerful video that I feel is one of the best options you'll come across to get your wheels turning about who you are and what you stand for and how you will bring it all out as an artist.
THIS VIDEO IS WORTH the time and funds. If you are on the fence, stop wasting your time being uncomfortable when you can be laying in bed watching this video and learning about yourself and your art on a deeper cut.”
— Gia Randazzo
Maternity: Stripped
“It is so interesting how we all see things so differently. Like Meg shoots from a distance, I like to be right there with my client experiencing with them. Meg has visions in her head about how the scene would look, I would never put a pregnant woman laying on steps because in my mind it looks like she has fallen.
This is a good video for beginners. Meg is good at showing you that you do not need a studio to create a vision. In this video, you will learn a lot about ARCHING your clients back. And overall making sure they elongate their bodies. She gives a lot of facts quickly at the beginning that should be written down to make sure you take it in regarding lighting.
I believe there is a lot to take away from this video. I personally just enjoyed experiencing someone else's photo session. I feel it will make me more comfortable in my sessions knowing how different I am from others. It's all so great, we all have common goals but different styles.”
— Gia Randazzo

“Having been involved in the past with an online boudoir workshop where both Miranda and Meg were involved, I was excited to see them in the same video shooting at the same time together!
There's a great juxtaposition of seeing how similar and different Meg and Miranda shoot - this allows for you to see which way you may be more inclined to shoot and learn about the other option in the process. You get to see each of Meg and Miranda's images as they shoot, as well as a comparison of the two so there's room for learning about things such as; distance from the subject, level the photographer is shooting at, and the poses themselves.
I do wish there had been a bit more of the prep work before a session starts involved. Such as topics like hair/make-up choices (Miranda covered clothing but not much was discussed about hair/makeup) as well as more of the process of what goes into before a session even happens (talking to a client to better understand their body image complaints and poses for the common complaints for instance.) This is one area that I know may also come from experience but is a common question out there that photographer's new to boudoir wish they had more help with in the process.
This is a great starter course for any wanting to learn about boudoir and you are learning from two very talented photographers in the process which makes this course well worth it no matter your level of photography.”

“Love this! Actually brought tears to my eyes. My daughter and I have a photography business together that we started 5 years ago. And to look back to see where we came from working out of my kitchen, moving everything out to set up one of those old fashion bean bags and wrapping up baby the best I thought I could at that time to now having our own studio space with a studio shop. We are beyond blessed and thank God everyday for our amazing clients that have stuck with us through the journey to all of the amazing talented teachers like you guys helping us through the way! I can not wait to watch the next episode! :)”
