Customer Reviews
This dynamic duo rocks
I have been big fans of both of these photographers. I love their style and how they present all topics.
Videos
Great videos. Recommend photography book. Great source to improve photo shoot for anyone and everyone!!!
Great Concept.
I love how the books give info then give links to videos they created on YouTube referencing the subject matter. However, I purchased this book over a year ago and can count on one hand the number of times I opened it. It really doesn’t keep my interest.
When you buy their book you can join a Stunning Digital Photography FaceBook group. This group is very helpful to a point, but you may end up being harassed because you posted a photo and didn’t follow one of the many rules that have in that group. Then you will be removed.
All in all I think this is a wonderful start but a bit too boring. Just grab your camera and go shoot. Use that extra $10-$20 for gas money to take you to a an awesome place to watch the sunrise.
