This is my second purchase on Pro-Edu. The first was the retouching series by Michael W.

The posing part :
It isn’t great… Compared to what Lindsey Adler gives for free on youtube, this course is very weak in the posing.
As a young photographer that plans to do test for young and inexperienced models, I expected a lot of detail advices. For instance: “What standard poses to use for POLAS ?” could have been a good 15 minute video.

It could have given great advices to young photographers that could provide POLAS to agencies.
You could find better advices on youtube.
The editing part :
I understand that test shoots are lightly edited unlike editorials or beauty shoots but this part was also very weak. I also understand that she is a photographer and not a retoucher but It really lacked depths and techniques.
