“E-Squared always simply explains and demonstrates skills needed and whatever area for their course. The dramatic sports course helped me to understand everything from the basics of terminology for lights and actual lighting placement and why. I learned quite a bit from this course and I highly recommend others take it if this is the lane they wish to drive. They always immediately respond with any questions you have and are super encouraging and supportive! Without hesitation, I highly recommend any of their courses.”

Whether one is starting out on a budget or has existing equipment already, the Dramatic Sports Lighting course is an outstanding tool to help enhance your photography skills.
Currently, I have used the concepts of the Dramatic Sports Lighting course to do a Harry Potter-style shoot for my niece and even improved how I shoot professional headshots for clients.
I have found this course to be very well laid out and filled with outstanding value. I also love how Emily and Erin take a laid-back approach and take the time to explain what they are doing while demonstrating the various lighting/techniques used to capture the images.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to learn or expand their knowledge in this area of photography."
