I really enjoyed this course. We see Emily’s whole process from moodboard to editing and even sharing. I learnt a lot on this course. Now I just need to find some models 😁! I would have actually liked to hear the photo shoot this might have been tedious for some viewers but I think it would have been insightful to see how the model is directed and how the shoot went. Overall fantastic though. Great to see a professional’s process.
