What our members are saying

Very easy to follow instruction…

Mike I love the video. I’m a visual learner and your style of instruction is EXACTLY they way I love to learn. I have a motto ”Keep it simple..stupid” And that’s exactly what you do. Very easy to follow instruction and you can really connect to the instructor. Thanks for the amazing videos.

Kevin Antone // Photographer

Thank You for helping us all out!!!

Dear Mike, When I came across your website recently, I thought, ”Okay, another site for those ’sports composites’ that is so labor intensive”…and then I read on and it sounded interesting, especially for only $35! I downloaded and watched it right away. Your presentation for capturing the studio shots is simple and straight forward and then the ”PhotoShop demo ” even easier!!! Thank You for taking the ”bugaboos’ out of sports composites photography! I can’t wait to put it to use this week and incorporate it even into my ”family and group portrait” business! We as photographers, need all the ”tricks in our bags” that we can get these days to maintain our ”professional status” separated from the ”weekend digital photographers” and your system can help ME add more $$$ to my packages and keep my high spending clients in my playing field! I will certainly look to invest in more of your materials if they’re all this easy! I think ANY photographer, sports or portrait, can benefit from your materials. Thank You for helping us all out!!!

If you want to be the best, learn from the best….

PSU put me light years ahead of where I was the day before the event, and I was among some of the best volume photographers in the business. If you want to be the best, learn from the best.

DANA MOORE // Photographer

To me they are priceless….

Your videos are absolutely amazing!! Before I found your website, I was having a terrible time trying to learn how to use my studio lights and achieving the correct color and lighting. I was spending numerous hours in Photoshop correcting my mistakes. After watching the first video ( Intro to Pro Lighting ) I was amazed that I only paid $39.00 for it. It is worth at least 5 times as much. I have learned what lights to use, where to use them and how to use them correctly. My $39.00 investment has already made me $5000.00 more this year. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but I do photography part time and it is a lot for me. I have recommended all of your videos to my friends. To me they are priceless. To be able to have someone show me how to do something is much easier than me reading a book and trying to figure it out. Thank you so much.
