...It was inspiring to see Photoshop used thoughtfully by a master. I learned so much in just one day and am truly inspired to dig deeper and learn even more.

    the guy is a genius, but part of his genius is being able to simplify what he's doing to make it understandable for the rest of us.

    Joe McNally is not only extremely knowledgeable about the topics of the courses he teaches, he presents that knowledge in a way that seems more like fun than a learning experience. I also get a kick out of the different scenarios he sets up as examples for his photography. He is anything but boring. I am not rich. I am not a professional photographer. But, I still find Joe and his equipment courses entertaining and informative. Keep the Joe lessons coming!

    G.Christie; Joe Mcnally working with SB900 under the conditions and locations in the lessons has given the old Nikon dog a lot of good treats! Joe is great at keep the lesson moving like the shoot he is doing and keeping your attention to details without getting lost. This has been very helpful to me as I am looking to buy a lighting system that work for most shooting locations. After viewing other videos outside of Kelbey training Joe's lesson's Rock! Thank you! Joe Mcnally, and Scott Kelbey too for a great place to learn new technics. G.C.
