Jana’s 5 day challenge is fun, easy and very satisfying. I recommend it for beginner and mid level of photographers.

I am only beginning the 4th week of classes and I feel like I have already learned so much! I am much more comfortable with my camera and feel that I am becoming more creative. Jana is wonderful! So are all of the people in my class. We not only learn from Jana, but we learn from each other.

This 5 day photo challenge was so much fun. Each day you learn something new and post pictures of that day's subject. Then you share positive feedback to others in the challenge. It's fun and Jana is a great teacher with lots of enthusiasm!

This past week I spent with Jana’s 5-Day Challenge was a wonderful learning experience. I learned several new things about my camera allowing me to improve my photography. Jana comes on daily sharing information in a wonderful upbeat manner. Everyday her excitement is infectious!! It was a wonderful week!

I can’t say enough about Jana and the Learn Photography Company, my confidence, skills and enjoyment in photography has grown by leaps and bounds. I originally took the 12 week “Photography In Focus” which took me from a relative beginner taking okay pictures in manual mode to making the camera work for me and taking beautiful pictures that I’m proud to share with everyone. The modules are easy to follow and understand, and if I had any questions Jana was always ready to help either at the weekly check-in, office hours or just with a quick email. Because of my positive experience in the “Photography In Focus” I’ve enrolled in the “Photography Mastery Program” and I’m so excited to see where my photography journey will take me next. Thanks Jana and the Learn Photography Company.

I was fortunate to find a posting about the 5 Day Inspire Challenge by the Learning Photography Company and decided to join the challenge. It was an incredible journey and an awesome experience! I have loved photography for as far back as I can remember and this challenge has inspired me to dig deeper into my love of photography. The energy and excitement that Jana exuded is very contagious! She is a great teacher who showed us many exciting things about photography in such a short time. You can’t help but to get excited and want to learn more! In addition, Jana is an amazing cheerleader. Every day, she continuously encouraged us to take the time for ourselves and for our passion of photography. She also encouraged us to become a part of the community of photographers where we can learn from each other. I hadn’t thought about Photography in this way before. I am going to join the next Focus on Photography Course because of the support and emphasis on community. I firmly believe this is the platform that will help me grow as a person and propel me to become a good photographer. Thank you, Jana for all of your encouragement and wealth of information all things photography! You rock!

I joined the Masterclass as I wish to go professional, honestly I was not expecting to learn a lot and especially in my 1st week. Wow! I got reminded very quickly how much of the basic information we forget to use. Every week I am challenged a little more and it is showing in my photography. Jana works to make sure we all are very good at the level we are at. In hindsight I am glad I am in this course as it is both challenging and can force you to step out of your comfort zone. Needless to say Learn photography company would benefit any level of Photographer.

Gail D. If you are interested in capturing beautiful photos and understanding how to use your camera, you are in the correct place. I came across the 5-day challenge accidentally on Facebook. The teaching style and methods were exactly what I needed to take out my Canon Rebel T3 that had been sitting in my closet for 6 years. I just did not know how to use it. I tried teaching myself by reading books and taking local classes. Still confused, I just resorted to my iPhone camera to take pictures. What I needed was a professional. A knowledgeable, experienced teacher to show me the ropes of photography and I found it through “ The Learn Photography Company” Well, let me tell you, this on-line class has more than exceeded my expectations! I have learned more about photography in 12 weeks, including aspects of photography that I have never even heard of. My creativity has taken off and I have found joy in taking photos more than I ever anticipated. Why? Because I now understand my camera and how to capture time, the way I want show it in my photos. For my portrait assignment, I photographed my niece. The photos came out so well she asked me to be her wedding photographer. Yes, they were that good. Why? Because I know how to use my camera. I understand about depth of field, focal length, camera lenses, composition, and light. I never thought I would have learned night photography-including light painting, zoom lines, photographing lightning strikes, and fireworks. The weekly video lectures, twice a week group zoom check-ins, assigned small group meetings, and one-on-one help during scheduled office hours, sets this course apart from any other photography class out there. You do not need an expensive camera to take great photos or to take this class. My camera is six years old and no one in our class had the same camera. We shared our homework assignments on a closed Facebook site and collaborated with each other. The zoom check-ins were posted in the closed group so if you are unable to attend you had the ability to watch it at a later time. When I had a question all I had to do was communicate via Email or messenger. The course is set up similar to taking an on-line semester college class. Jana spent an hour and a half with me one day fixing my computer issues I had with Lightroom. She is knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate about teaching photography. I am currently enrolled in the Master photography program and I am loving it! Thank you Jana for your patience and for everything you have taught me.
