Just… WOW! Every human needs to read the words Teri has to say in this course. I thoroughly enjoyed her inclusive language and approach throughout the class. Reading her words humbled me in multiple ways and I 100% think I will be a better photographer for ALL people because of it.
Thank you so much for the great class, Teri! As a wedding photographer, I capture every body type. This class has reinforced my desire to capture the person and not the body type, on a day when people are so focused on an idealized perfection. I love the videos – Teri is so engaging! She makes every video enjoyable and educational.
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate your feedback and keep doing the good work <3
As much as we need need this as photographers….we need it more as a society. Teri has done an outstanding job asking the questions and getting you to explore your thoughts and beliefs around body image. You won’t regret purchasing this course!
Thank you so much! <3 Sometimes we forget that before a business person, we are a person! <3 I am so glad you enjoyed the content and found it valuable!
I just finished this course and have already texted more than one photographer friend that they HAVE to go buy it. This course was a photography education and therapy session all rolled into one. It is a STEAL at $25. I feel empowered, inspired and enlightened. I can not wait to pick up my camera and put what I have learnt into action!
Thank you so much <3 I really appreciate the feedback (and referral!) I am glad you left feeling empowered!!
What an incredible class! I have learned so much from Terri in how she uses photography to empower clients and show off their natural beauty. I don’t photograph people as much as I do landscapes, but when I do, it’s always top priority for me that they have a positive experience and love the way they look. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us, Terri!
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I am really glad you found it to be rewarding <3
We NEED this course in the industry. Everyone NEEDS to take this class. I absolutely love the fact that Teri approached this course with a breakdown of the concepts and mentality about body images. The information Teri included in this course is valuable and practical–from how to help clients work through the mentality shift to how to actually pose people. This course not only helped me to be better prepared to photograph others, but also became therapeutic for myself as I work through my project about my identity and be at peace with who I am right now from all different angles–including accepting my own body images. This is a course you would want to keep going back to for sure. Thank you Teri for putting this course together and share your amazing perspective and talent with us!
Omigosh thank you so so much for this lovely review! I really appreciate you going through the content and taking it in so passionately <3
