ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Ben Willmore’s passion for photography has taken him to all 50 US states and over 85 countries spread across all seven continents. He has been using both Photoshop and Lightroom since their inception. Over that time he has relentlessly pursued mastery of both programs and in the process has written over a dozen books on the topic which have been published in 9 languages. His latest book is titled Crafting the Landscape Photograph which is published by Rocky Nook. He began enhancing images digitally in the late 1970's, attended Compu-Comp (the computer camp for kids) in 1981 and in 2004 was inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame. Ben has taught well over 100,000 people in person at events in 17 countries and millions have watched his educational videos. Ben leads groups of photographers on workshops to remote areas in the Galapagos Islands, Africa, Iceland, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia as well as somewhat less exotic places across the USA.

There were several mind-blowing moments of things I never knew, that were incredible. However, it was very strange how each lesson ended abruptly in the middle of him teaching something. It seems that this class must have been pieced together from longer lessons and we don't get the full lessons here. It was frustrating when the lesson would end mid-sentence when there was something I was very interested in watching to completion. Perhaps it should be re-named the A-W Bootcamp! LOL! Where not cut off, the material was excellent, deep and thorough. Definitely worth watching!
