“I’ve done enough photo workshops to know that some instructors are good in the field while others are good in the classroom. Corey is outstanding in both!”
“In the classroom, Corey’s teaching is methodical and logical. He shows you how to make the most of the digital darkroom with the software that you have. Corey is a natural teacher.”
“I completed the Lightroom in a Day class with Corey Hilz today. This class far exceeded my expectations. I was admittedly skeptical of the long list of topics to be covered in one day but Corey is a gifted instructor and he presented a large amount of technically complex materials in a very easy to understand clear, concise, and coherent in manner.”
