I enjoyed the class with Oliver. He was patient and thorough and offered excellent advise. I learned a tremendous amount from this class. Oscar had a detailed list of topics but he had no issue when we occasionally deviated from the plan. I am looking forward to his next lighting class.

Hi! I had a great time at this workshop and learned quite a bit on how to use lighting and different flash and modifiers. The instructor Oliver was very knowledgeable and answered all our queries satisfactorily. Thank you for a great session!

Overall I enjoyed the meet up. Vincent was very helpful and led the group well. Wish we didn't have as much fog as we did but that only means I will have to go again. Thank you every one, it was fun.

The Santa Ana Zoo was a great local spot to photograph wildlife. I am so amazed at what you can capture, even through a cage fence!

Learning how to capture light trails made for a really unique class. I would never have thought to do this one my own - plus, it's safer as a group when photographer on a sidewalk with cars speeding by :)

As always, the class was helpful and enormously informative. Vincent’s approach is friendly and encouraging. I highly recommend his classes! My photos are way better than they used to be, and I have Vincent Nguyen and Eric Goodman to thank for that.

Another great class at Seal Beach with Vincent. He provides great overall guidance as well as 1:1 assistance.

I liked that the group was small enough for the host/teacher to be able to help us individually setting up our cameras. I enjoyed Vincent's knowledge of photography and him emphasizing that its not about the equipment you have but the lighting and composition. I'm looking forward to the next class.

Seal Beach was a great location choice. We had the whole beach ourselves, which made it easy to photograph the blue hour as well as the sun rising.
