Professional Portraits

The course is simple but effective. The photographer sets her goals in very clear terms and shows how to get them through very detailed explanations. Congrats!

The course was ok but,... I expected more. You can get the same information for free in any YouTube channel

From clarity to clarity. You are a great teacher and I love your creativity!

Continue making portrait courses that allow viewers more selections; home cooking portraits in the kitchen, walking your pets, corporate, sports portraits and real estate room portraits.

It's a good course with lots of useful tips. As a pro I felt I could already get around most situations but I have learnt a lot more and am 100% confident of achieving the results I want in any situation

Hanna - you are the best! This is exacly the kind of pictures I want to take and you explained it perfectly! Thanks Hanna!

I am a Pro. Somehow I don't think this video was aimed at working pros.

Great training for beginners, maybe ND filter could be included as an option?

how about to change the 2rd model as baby, this will more interesting .

Key informations are missing to be able to reproduce... Like how is light measured ? Does she shoot manual or with A or S mode ? If manual, how does she determine her set ups without measuring light ?

Good presentation. Definitely learned from her experience and the problem solving she explains. Thanks.

Extremely helpful guides. Great explanation and important tips.

Very clear instruction, excellent examples and pace.

I like the details and science provided by Davids courses. These felt a bit more subjective and more like the usual internet stuff than something from Profoto.

Fairly basic stuff, no actual focus on the flash settings

The course is easy to follow, direct and very informative. It is the basic of HSS lightning and using shutter speed to control ambient light. Only topic which would need more work is how to do a formal posing for business people. They do not have much time, so few tips on posing would be great as aditional Chapter.

The condition was too good for the video.
I would like to acquire the ability to cope with adverse conditions.

I enjoyed and learnt some new skills from this Video. I enjoyed the creativity that was demonstrated in the Video and will continue to use those skills within my artistic photography activities.

This is a very special way to present flash and
camera use to really understand what makes
Great portraits. Thank you guys.

It's an interesting course, simply explained with good examples

Very basic

Well presented and understood. Thank you. :)

Learn so much more from this course then i did looking on YouTube tutorials

As a longtime photographer, I know many techniques. Nevertheless, I am inspired and learned some new techniques. I say thanks :-)

No English

The lesson was very easy to understand.

Thank you for the great course.
I think that drawing arrows and letters to explain the photos helps me to understand the course.

I just have to say Great! - This course was so helpful for my work as professional business photographer.

This course is made for everyone. Even professional photographers get inspirations for better pictures.

For the price, would have appreciated more content. The information that was there was good.

It taught a lot regarding the basics of lighting. If I just implement the techniques mention in the class my skills will drastically improve.

Sorry this portrait course series did not live up to my expectations. Too basic and not comprehensive enough to cover the subject.

Very informative and well produced. It's a step up from similar YouTube videos to be sure.

The production of this video is simply awesome, however the content was a bit lacking. Namely, there were several scenes where Hannah made adjustments to flash settings but the on-screen reading didn't give what those adjustments were. While I do understand that each scenario will be different, it's also helpful to know how Hannah handled her adjustment as a guide for the viewers/learners. I unfortunately am severely underwhelmed.

Although his course has some good information in it, I do not think it lives up to it's name-"Professional Portraits". I bought this course because I thought it was for professionals. It is really geared to those who aspire to be professional (and that's ok), but being it is my first series I purchased from Profoto, and have Profoto gear, I was expecting something more "by professionals, for professionals". That's not to say the instructor is not a professional, she is, I think it has more to do with how the course was marketed. That is evident by the quizzes. They are very "beginner" type of questions...not "professional" level.

Content is 10 $ worth

Content for 10 $, but it is superb

Content good for 10 $...

Be better provide english subtitle

Interesting but regret not worth £49.00

Course material was too basic and I didn't really learn anything. Some of the videos could've been shorter and more to the point.

I like the arrangement of the education films. That one can see and hear how you should or could plan a phto session. And that the pro photographer let me know how to think and what to look for.
Very well balanced -not too basic and not too difficult.

Consider mentioning the importance of white balance and using a color chip card or gray card.

Great tutorial for getting started with lighting. Love the A1 too - I ordered mine as soon as the course ended.

too expensive!

Hannah is incredibly good at explaining in an easy way.

It was very helpful.
Thank you very much.

Despite a small personal experience some of us can have, i found this « Live » conditions lesson truly useful and inspiring, everything was clearly detailed and explained by Hannah who’s a great teacher !

These are excellent lessons where Hannah doesn’t only provide lighting tips but embraces the whole aspects of the job ! I highly appreciated and (as usual) will recommend these lessons to friends of mine.

It´s so easy and understandable!! I love it! That was not the last course ;)

I have bought many creative live videos and I bought this one as I am new to the Profoto system so want to learn more about the Profoto gear as well. Sadly this first course seemed rushed and not totally worth the money. A Creative Live course for the same amount of money has much more information and depth. Feeling a bit disappointed with this for what I paid for it. Especially after my huge investment in the gear.

The applications and content seem very simple. I wish the only addition to the class is letting the student know what the power setting was on the light system, the 2 to 10.

Extremely helpful course. I really appreciated the inclusion of the kit list upfront, through what kit to use and why throughout and the onsite workflow, trying different things to come up with just the right shot, explaining what was working and what was not, all the way through.

Very good information about taking such kind of photos. Taking good photos can be so simple with good equipment. The only concern about the video is, that is flipped back different times (only 1/2 sec) and than it repeated the scene. I have no idea why this happened.

I love how Hannah Couzens created the outdoor dramatic shots. She was well prepared by having a Plan A and Plan B because not all the time in a real world situation you get what you want at first. She incorporated dragging the shutter in her shot which created a more lively dramatic feel to the photo.

It very much depends on their skill level. It was very well done, but I felt a bit remedial. I was hoping for a little more detail.

I definitely picked up some helpful tips I would have never thought of and will make the shoot go more quickly and smoothly!

Great class, well presented. It sparked a lot of ideas for me and I can't wait to try them all out.

I like to framework of this class. It's direct and to the point. You are teaching valuable skills to capture standout portraits. This class helps to master the basics which are essential.

I like the step by step explanation of how to layer lights. The 3 light setup indoors was nice, every light has it's purpose for a polished look.
The information about how to drag the shutter to show the environment, and also to show motion of the cars was something I look forward to trying too.

Really good information about simple light setups that you can do without an assistant.

Very nicely presented. Indoors and out, plus subjects who very different in looks.

No further comments it was useful but could include little more about lighting positions and different light modifers

Great content, but would like a touch of technical.

Some of the quiz answers were incorrect and the tech spec were also incorrect, sorry not very good.
