"Watching this series proved to be a most beneficial time investment! It is an absolutely compelling and brilliantly crafted production! Robert Holmes is a fount of wisdom, a consummate professional, and an inspiration to anyone within earshot! My sincerest thanks to Marc Silber, Robert Holmes for sharing this truly worth while resource filled material!" - TC
"This was a great course. Just as Bob explores the work of others I learned from Bob. It takes time and effort to develop the image as Bob demonstrates. The way Bob works with his models is particularly valuable. As Bob states- there is an intuitive element in composing and capturing an image. To develop that intuition, the photographer and artist absolutely must continually engage in their craft." - WG
"This was great, Marc! You seemed to ask the same questions many of us would ask Bob! Excellent and informative peek into the mind and eye of an extraordinary photographer!!!" - TM
