Student Feedback:

"Gregg Cobarr's Better Photos Now workshop is true to its name! 
It was so cool because we learned techniques and then we were able to apply them straight away.   It was really hands on, and we got to try so many different techniques!  Although it was a group class, Gregg made it really individual.  I will take more of the Level Two classes!  Gregg takes teaching photography to the next level with a fun, fast, practical and focused approach."

"I just love taking photos!  I own a Nikon D300s and have RARELY shot in MANUAL mode because I didn't understand it.  I had convinced myself that it was way too complicated for me to comprehend, but after taking YOUR workshop I'm shooting in MANUAL for the rest of my photography days... smile!  YOU turned the "lights on" in my head.  I now see and FULLY understand what MANUAL mode is all about and why it is best to ALWAYS shoot in MANUAL mode.  Thank YOU so much, Gregg!"

"Great beginning workshop for those who want to dive into photography.  I learned a lot about F stops, shutter speed and ISO. We even had a model there so we could practice what we learned!"
