Rated 5 out of 5 by from These Masters are Truly Masters As an amateur photographer, I was so inspired by this course and it motivated me to expand my horizons in photography. These National Geographic Masters have led fascinating lives and it is a privilege to delve into their images and the stories behind them. Even if you're not a photographer, I would urge everyone to see these videos. You won't be disappointed and it may even inspire you to pick up a camera and shoot some images of your own.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from TOO MUCH TALK, NOT ENOUGH INSTRUCTION. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES, AND ANY OF THEM THAT HAS JOEL SARTORE AS AN INSTRUCTOR ARE USELESS. TOO MUCH TALK ABOUT HOW AND WHAT HE DID INSTEAD OF HOW I SHOULD DO IT. THIS IS MY LAST COURSE.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very good advice. The course provides good advice, tips and a lot of motivation to better your photography. Some environmental messaging was included that occasionally became monotonous. I would have liked if camera settings would have been provided for all or some of the pictures used during the talks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Insight Most videos online go into the science of photography and camera use. These videos however, give great insight into the process of photography and growth by professionals. What they do, how they do it, examples on their weaker photos vs their stronger ones. The nuisances of this art that isn't covered in a normal class. Well worth the buy, feels like a steal at $25 discount. I'd pay full price for it
