Bill has patience and talks slowly. He gives examples of how we can use what we are leaning in different areas ( portraits, posters, postcards and invites)

Bill's knowledge of Elements seems very extensive, he seemed really comfortable talking about it.

I thought Bill Brown was a great teacher. He was very patient with the students, and I could tell he had a lot of experience and knowledge.

Very passionate about what he is teaching

Bill knows Elements, that's for sure.

Very patient. Good at answering questions. Organized.

I already had a bunch of favorite photos, but was't sure how to even start creating a portfolio. After the first class I was wondering what I got myself into, but I had all the info I needed from the instructor and I pulled it off. Looking back, I'm really glad I took this course and I feel like I want to take more photos of with other subjects to create more portfolios. Thanks for offering this class.

Always great at explaining things

I like the casual, relaxed atmosphere provided by the instructors. Although they are professionals, they relate well to students. like the fact that Bill and Gary are so patient and understanding.

Thought they were very knowledgeable and presented material well
