“I found Lim's course to be spot-on with tips and techniques that I definitely need and will use. I took a few notes and probably could figure stuff out on my own now that I've seen it but I want to own his course as an easy, quick reference to information that I'm sure I'll use a lot.”

“love it!! I learn so much with this course, Scott is amazing, he explains everything in a very simple way, makes you feel that it is so easy and you can actually do it. I have taken several photography workshops, they are all good, but this is one is my favorite”

“The main asset of Scott is his ability to teach his students in a friendly manner, personal and accessible. He tells what he knows (and he knows a lot) and I can keep much of it. For me the best teacher and master among all others here. Thank you Scott for helping me”

"I developed the DOF triangle to show how to create that amazing blurred background look, even with lenses you may have never thought of. I also wanted to show people that prime lenses can also function like zoom lenses with the right techniques and pairings. I exclusively use prime lenses to get my signature look and I wanted to share how I do this."
