Who’s the Instructor?

There are many courses on how to be an amazing photographer, but how many are taught by true professionals who have a career and worked as a photographer?

I was formally trained at Brooks Institute in the 1980’s and have worked every day since. I have photographed for Fortune 500 companies, been published in countless magazines (you’ve probably heard of), and photographed Hollywood actors, pro athletes, politicians, hotels, top brand products, architecture, corporate and industry, and more people, places, and things, than I can recall.

I have taught over 30,000 photography enthusiasts including photo workshops across the USA and Middle East. Founded two stock photo agencies, and sold thousands of stock photos.

I love to teach and want to insure you succeed and help you learn to love photography. Also know that if you have questions, you can trust me to answer them in 24-48 at the most. You can trust me to teach you photography!

Charlie Borland is one of Udemy's best selling and most highly rated instructors:

1. I decided to join the course already feeling quite comfortable with many topics that it covers, but I still found things new and interesting to me. Charlie is an awesome and charismatic photography teacher who won't intimidate you with his experience but rather encourage you to improve your skills. 2. I think the course is perfect for people who just bought their first DSLR. You're getting a nice introduction to using the camera's different functions: there are many pictures and videos with all the buttons, triggers and wheels - that will be very helpful. There're also sections about exposition, lighting, composition, and tips on photographing specific subjects (nature, landscape, people). The advantage of the tutorials is numerous example photographs that help to visualize the theory. 3. There's this section about Lightroom - very practical and focused on the most important module (Develop). This part is detailed and will give you the idea how to post-process any picture you import to your computer. So to sum up: this a great starter pack for a beginner photographer. 4. PS. It turns out that Charlie photographed Katee Sackhoff (Starbucks from "Battlestar Galactica" - uh huh, her) when she was a teenager, probably back in the 90's - a couple of her portraits are shown in one of the lectures :)-Pawel C.
This was by far the best course I have taken! – Joe C.
Better than ever expected. This course has taken me from zero knowledge to understanding how a huge amount of work goes into even one promo shot in a catalogue. This course does not hold back or sugar coat the work behind the great photos or give you constant reassurance - it honestly teaches all areas of the experience from taking better photos for your own benefit through to what the most professional client would require. I'm very grateful for Charlie Borland to be so helpful and present in such a lovely manner it makes the experience very rewarding and easy. -Michelle C.
Hi Charlie, I'm not quite finished getting through all of the video but what a tremendous amount of work you have gone through for this course! Not to mention all of the content. It's simply a staggering variety of such valuable, insightful and important information. I wold have been bumbling about forever without your course, what a difference it will make as I begin and go forward from here. Thank you for all of your time and effort and for sharing your knowledge so generously, it is greatly appreciated!!! -Angela P.
"I have never seen such a detailed and comprehensive set of lessons in all my online experiences and I have been taking courses since 2005. The detail and explicit directions are just what the newbie needs. I have not engaged in architectural photography before and so this was a added bonus for me. I have previously taken courses with Charlie, and he is my ace when it comes to flash, but now also when I wish to learn more about photographing buildings and homes. Don't look any further!" -Fran S.
