“Excellent. I had so many light bulb moments watching this. Well worth the money.”
— Helen Winter
Forest Dreamer
“An hour-and-a-half of fabulous instruction! There are so many things I appreciate about this tutorial. One thing I like is that Michelle goes into more than just editing. She talks about the lighting challenge she had when creating this image, the resulting ISO noise she had to grapple with, and lens considerations for shooting in similar environments. Another thing I like about it is that she goes over the adjustments she made in Lightroom before she moves on to the Photoshop portion of the tutorial. (I find it incredibly helpful to hear about the Lightroom adjustment and the “why” behind some of the decisions made for doing certain steps in Lightroom vs. Photoshop - and I really appreciate it when instructors include information about why they make some adjustments in Lightroom vs. Photoshop.) Third, I found Michelle’s pace and instruction style easy to follow and understand. Very happy with my purchase.”

Pumpkin Princess
“This edit blew me away! Firstly Lori paces it at exactly the right speed. Her explanations are clear and thorough. Frequently Lori explains her thought process throughout her tutorial. I found this to be so helpful as it enabled me to understand why she made the choices she did and how I could apply the same process to my editing. I learned lots of new tips about how to add colour using gradients to fill in background colour and add light. I especially loved that Lori showed several different dodge and burn techniques. The end image was divine, her use of colour is superb. I highly, highly recommend this tutorial. Well worth the money.”

“Rachael Beedle is simply the BEST! Her skin softening technique is not only great but easy to follow. She uses photoshop tools in a way I've never thought of! But for me the way she explains what she's doing and why she's doing it is a HUGE plus!!!! Also the pace she edits at is just perfect for anyone like me that wants to follow along and take notes. Of course I have to hit pause a lot, but I'm slow. LOL
Bottom line, don't doubt purchasing anything from Rachael, she's worth every penny! AND Meg has incredible sales!!!”

Foundations of Intermediate Composite Basics – June 2021

We focused on depth, horizons, reflections, sizing, light casting, color casting, motion blurs, camera raw filters within PS, vectors…sooo much goodness. I can’t say enough how absolutely worth it this course has been for me!”

— Lisa Godwin
The Science of Photography: Frequency Separation
“I have to say the transformation Whitney achieves is amazing, I love frequency separation and I really wish I could get the most out of this video. However, Im 30% deaf, I had my hearing aide in, my speakers full blast, and I just cant decipher enough to take it all in. Usually on the tutorials here I can see the tools that are being used and the settings, but Whitney's screen is all dark, and small, so I just cant make out what tool She is using where. Honestly the results are amazing, and I'd just about kill to watch this with subtitles!!! I watched about half of the retouch and had to give up. I have all of the Zero To series and Ben is so much easier to understand. I know this is my problem, but I think its worth mentioning.”
— Joanne Duncan
Dreamy Fine Art
“I enjoyed this VERY much! Love your editing techniques! Easy to follow with beautiful results. I will be looking for more videos from Michelle Bradford!”
— Lisa Godwin
The Science of Photography: Frequency Separation
“This is great! If you are familiar with Zero to Skin, you will see that Whitney reinforces much of what Ben Willmore talks about. Whitney goes into very detailed explanations of the technical nature of light and explains in detail (similar to Ben) what frequency separation is and how it works. I am a bit of a tecnophile, so I love this geeky stuff! I admit, I was a bit lost with some of the technical explanations, but as Whitney explained the math behind the technology, it kind of made some sense. Whitney also covers a couple of tricks that are not covered in the Zero to Skin videos. There's so much good stuff in this product that I am sure I am going to be referring back to the videos numerous times! Whitney even covers how to add a texture to an image and how to remove a texture from an image, as well as how to remove wrinkles from clothing - these tricks can be very useful! I highly recommend this product!”

Soulful Critique: Meg’s Journey Home
“I just want you to know that some of us have always understood you were just telling your story. Art is always a reflection of what is inside of us. We show what we know, we show what we have been through and it's almost like giving birth to the most private parts of ourselves. People will misunderstand and will also cast their ugliness or their own trauma onto your truth, that's to be expected. But there are also people who love and appreciate honesty so much that they could never not see what you are trying to communicate. I am really happy to have been let in to see your story from your point of view in addition to already seeing it in your work. And you have every right to speak your story in whatever way makes it real and genuine for you. If we can't do that with art then ( in my opinion ) why even make art? Thank you for being open. <3”

Secret Garden
“I loved this video. I see a lot of Professional Fine Art Pet Portrait Photographers that I admire, using these methods but without explanation. It is nice to watch it for myself. You literally are painting your portrait with colors and techniques. I do recommend this video for others as you have seen a lot of these types of edits on humans with Meg, but the coloring on Fur is different and it is interesting highlighting the way light hits the fur child. This video also brings awareness to thinking about colors that support your mood. I also, loved how soft-spoken Emma is as I watched this video in the early morning.”

Thank God I found MBP and the multiple talents of guest artists here. Havent found a class yet that I didnt need and that I didnt need to have on hand for future reference. THANK YOU!”

This is so true!
From all the different video’s on the site.. I do enjoy Meg’s videos the most.”

Having no experience with compositing, I really appreciated the way Jessica explained what she was doing, and why, so that the background image and the subject image match in a way that makes the end result (composite) look its best and be believable.
The only thing I'd say is missing from this is how or where to order printed cards once you're done with the card design. When we order cards, do they come with envelopes?

“Ben this one was simply amazing! I always worry about swapping heads and had never done it to my satisfaction.

Zero to Lightroom
“Like Meg, I am MUCH more comfortable in PS and love all that PS can do. However, I am wanting to learn LR to try bulk editing more quickly (for my real estate photography business). This is a great intro course into Lightroom as I am pretty much starting from scratch with it. I also subscribe to Ben's Masters Academy course which is an AMAZING tutorial resource. The price is reasonable and the videos are great. Ben is the best when it comes to PS and LR knowledge and explaining it. He also responds well to questions. So grateful for him!”
