Everything under the sun has been done before but there's a spin on it and the spin is you doing your unique vision of it nobody can copy how you feel nobody can copy how you feel nobody can copy your inspiration you can find a picture in a magazine and try to copy that picture and that's style but you're copying the surface under that picture is the inspiration and that comes from you so you find out what makes you feel alive what makes you feel good when you shoot you find um your inspiration through travel, throwing a book through a movie, and that inspires your story. So as you putting your storybook to getyou, storyboard together, that's from your inspiration, that's, not a copy, and that cannot be copied is you work as you worked as an assistant, and we're for dozens of photographers. You see them work every single day as a photo assistant. You, with, um, almost night and day, traveling around the world, working on the cits, setting up the lights, put in the camp together, saying, the f stop the shutter speed, and then we go to do your own thing. You can't copy what they do, because the source of the inspiration comes from here. You can't copy that. Your inspiration comes from your life from your life. You can't copy that.

Thanks Matthew for the super informative courses. I'm from Thailand and I'm very impress with the way you speak. It is super clear and very easy to understand. Your answers to each questions are extremely inspirational. I think you are the best teacher on photographing so far on Creative Live. Each of your answers and information are very motivational and very thoughtful. Thanks again for this great Live broadcast. You are a great teacher and a very nice warm person as well.

This course has been an awesome experience. I have learned so much about the process of beauty and fashion photography. Matthew takes the viewer through the preliminary thought process. He not only covers the technical aspects but also the importance of the photographic team itself--the stylist, makeup artist, model and photo assistants. The photographer plus the team equals magic. I do not use the term amazing lightly. This man is AMAZING and INSPIRING! Thanks to Matthew, I feel confident that I will find my own vision.
