    What I like so much about Chris Bray is that he has the capacity to make what I think can be complicated into something that is so easy to understand and apply. Great Job Thank you. 'The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple' Albert Einstein

All other aspects have really come in handy and I always look forward to my next time in the various scenes. Many thanks buddy!

I watched numerous videos on external flash and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to use that thing or specifically what it was used for and within a couple of minutes, you’ve managed to clearly state what to use it for and how to use it. You’re the best!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

    Thanks so much for all of the great tutorials Chris. I have been using your tips for shooting in Melbourne and Wellington recently and have seen an immediate improvement in my photography. You have a very easy to listen to voice and I’m a fan of the little bit of humour you throw in here and there. You are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about photography and big thanks for sharing that with us.

  • @simonhancox9145
    @simonhancox9145 4 года назад

    Hands down the most useful videos I have seen for getting to grips with my camera. I always want to get the best images that I can, but get intimidated by the options and scared I'll miss the moment and return to auto control. Even to the point that I've bought additional lenses wondering if they would give me more confidence if they're better spec than the kit lens. But these videos have given me so much insight and confidence, I've written as much as I can down and just gone for it, and practice really does make (near) perfect because I'm getting the photos I want and that make me proud enough to share with others. You've got a knack for tutoring. Thank you sir!

Yours my friend, I've found to be the BEST! in terms of how you explain things to make it easy to get the practical essence of picture taking. I am not a professional but I am an avid amateur that just loves taking photos anywhere, any time, anything. Thanks!

    This video series has been absolutely invaluable. I'm a musician but in the realm of online content you really need to be a jack of all trades to get any attention. I bought a camera to do music videos and get photos for marketing content and these tutorials have been a total lifesaver. Thank you for doing this and helping all us amateurs to be able to create presentable visuals.

    I have literally spent hours scouring through video after video on RUclips to learn more about digital photography. I have learnt more watching you for a few minutes than I have in all those hours. Please please do more videos! I would absolutely love one about square filters, I have a set of gradient grey ones, as well as coloured ones (the 40 in 1 sets). I would love to know how to use them, how to know what to use each for, what to use the coloured ones for.
