Awesome photographer and great content, I like how the 2 added videos showed more of the camera settings and the light display was cool behind the scenes.

Awesome workshop to not only get my first taste of automotive shoots, but I am walking away with a shoot set-up and planned to create speck work and present brands with decks. I loved how Aaron really explained everything he was doing. He rocks.

217 / 5000 Resultados de tradução I admire Aaron's work, but this workshop left something to be desired. And what was that long minute to edit a flare? They could have cut that part in the edit. I found everything very superficial. I expected more... :/

I loved all of the information that was presented in this course. The information about spec work and pitching was especially useful for me. Plus, the step by step on how to shoot cars and what companies looked for and expected was well worth the price.
