I had the honour to speak with Joe at Photoshop World and was so impressed by what a fine gentleman he is in addition to his photographic talents. Food photography was not on the top of my list of skills to develop but I liked Joe so much I determined to give the class a try. What a blast! I learned so much and have pages and pages of notes to review. I will also have to review some parts of the class to pick up on small things I will forget. This class is great because it is about how to get to the work of food photography, it's not about Joe, or how great he is, (the work shows, he doesn't have to tell you). And that is a big part of what makes the class great. No ego, no condescension, just excellent information presented in a very usable manner. I'm looking forward to the next class.
