I focused on my own family for this Photo Essay course. The instructor, David Bathgate, was a real inspiration, throughout. Each assignment challenged me to go beyond what I originally believed I could do with a camera. And whenever I had a question - or felt "stuck," David was immediately there to bring me through. Now I feel I have the skills and confidence to venture beyond my "home turf" to build visual narratives elsewhere around me. As for this online course as a whole, I loved that it was interactive with feedback from the instructor. Highly recommended.
Great course ! Content, and especially the timely feedback, were real positives. David Bathgate was a very engaged instructor. I felt well "looked after" as a student, throughout the course. Highest recommendation !
One of the best online photography course I've taken. Constructive feedback from the instructor made the difference. It was very much like having my own private mentor. Thanks David and TCI ! I will definitely come back for more courses like this.
I really learned a lot from this course with professional photographer David Bathgate. Not only is he a talented picture-maker, he's an excellent instructor - inspiring and confidence-building. And although I ran short on time to submit my final lesson assignment, TCI was nice enough to give me an extension - free of charge ! All highly recommended !!
