What to Expect

"The emphasis here is world-class training and portfolio! You will learn so much that your brain will melt. You will work hard and be exhausted at the end of each day. And best of all, you will go home with hard drives full of spectacular imagery that you can't get anywhere else. It might take weeks or even months to edit those images to perfection. It will stretch your abilities to the max and you'll love every minute. Best of all, some time later, you will email me telling me how much you have grown, how much success you have had and how these workshops have changed your life. If this is what you want, you know what to do."

Recently I took Rosalind Guder’s B.L.A.M.!! Classes. These are easily the best courses I’ve ever attended, and I wanted to take a moment to gush. Rosalind took the time to assess each participant’s skill level and determine exactly what it was they wanted out of the class. She then tailored her approach to assure that everyone was challenged, but not overwhelmed. Most importantly, Rosalind is very generous with her time. She allowed us to continue working and pepper her with questions throughout the lunch break. She continued to teach right up to (and maybe a little beyond) the course’s official ending time, and she has made herself available for questions after the course as well.

Rosalind Guder's workshops were full of practical instruction in a hands-on environment. We learned several different lighting styles and Photoshop editing techniques. I feel I came out of the workshops with new skills... Rosalind’s teaching style is encouraging and supportive, she wants you to understand as you learn. I recommend her courses and look forward to new workshops in the future!
