What Others Have Said About The Masterclass

The Drone Photography Masterclass is incredibly well-structured, with each module flowing seamlessly and concepts explained with remarkable clarity. The practical examples were perfectly chosen, making the lessons easy to understand and apply. The audio and video quality were excellent, reflecting a professional touch that greatly enhanced the overall learning experience. I also deeply appreciated the valuable insights on creative composition, leading lines, shapes, and storytelling, which went beyond just the technical aspects. This course has been transformative, and I’ve gained so much confidence in my drone photography skills. Amazing work—thank you!

Daniel B.

This masterclass was a total game-changer! From nailing the basics to mastering mind-blowing compositions, it had everything. Loved the focus on safety (no drone disasters here!) and the creative hacks for epic light, shadow, and jaw-dropping perspectives. The critique/ feedback sessions are awesome - Pure gold. Jeroen brought the fiery passion of volcanoes, and Nigel’s storytelling tips were the cherry on top—so inspiring and downright awesome!

Imran K.

I am loving this class. The production quality is excellent and the content is just fantastic. I’ve learned something in pretty much every video I’ve watched so far. I’m taking the course slowly to enjoy it — I don’t want to blast through it.

Josh S.

This masterclass is unique and gives many tips that contribute a lot to better drone photos. Both Jeroen and Nigel give this Masterclass in a relaxed and super good way. The technical knowledge that Jeroen and Nigel have is enormous!

Mario V.

I’m a fairly experienced drone photographer, but the masterclass is helping me refine my skills. The content is in easy to consume chunks, allowing me to dip in and out of the most relevant content. The Case Study/vlogs in particular have been fascinating to see the start to finish process of Nigel and Jeroen’s images.

Rhiannon L.

The masterclass offers valuable insights into the many ways you can find and capture stunning drone compositions and reassures you that your drone can handle more than you might initially think.
