Course Description

Overview

‘Jellis is just so lovely! Presentation is great, he is engaging, relatable and funny! And he makes the whole experience very fun. The class is very informative and knowledgable while also light and puts everything in a perspective that is not intimidating, but welcoming!’ – Melissa Wentzel

‘Amazing course, I can see how much you love your work. I really enjoyed it and the most important, I learned a lot, thank you so much <3’ – Iliana Gomez

‘I'm only on lesson 9 and I've already learned a lot. I love Jellis' teaching style and he's very easy to learn from. I'll have my eye out for any future courses. I like the way he tells you what setting he uses for different shots and why, explaining them which is so important to a beginner. There are lots of examples and you can tell he's just a great teacher. Lots of people have experience and are good at what they do but not everyone can teach and only some of those can teach well. Jellis' teaches exceptionally well!!’ – Felisha Sandifer
