It's ideal for beginners, as it covers all the very basics you need to get started confidently and respectfully in this genre. One of the most valuable aspects of the course is Dan’s emphasis on communication and rapport with the model. He stresses how important it is to create a comfortable, professional atmosphere and to give positive feedback throughout the shoot. This insight alone is worth the watch, as it sets the tone for a successful collaboration and truly brings out the best in both photographer and subject.
