Hello Dan. I just finished watching Episode 7
I'd like to start off by saying that your POTB video lessons really light a fire in me. They always are very interesting and I always feel compelled to share my opinion about something. :)
Your advice really resonated and gave me more confidence!
Watching your lessons certainly enthused me get out with my camera more. The lessons are a good length, easily absorbed and not too long to replay for a recap - and certainly not intimidating for a beginner such as myself.
I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to gain further insights into photography.
Not just another course on photography, "Photography on the Brain" gives insights into why we should try different approaches in order to become better photographers. For example rather than simply describe what a wide angle lens is, Dan talks about how it can affect you compositional style and how you can use it to your advantage in certain situations.

DEVELOP YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHY BRAIN
Photography is a very brain influenced activity. From the decisions you make that go into creating your images, to the emotional response your photos can invoke, great imagery begins and ends in the mind, and it utilizes both left and right brain components.
The more thought and skills you put into the process, the more ideas you’ll come up with, the more confident you’ll be with your creative and technical problem solving abilities.
You’ll be better able to develop a style that continues to evolve and excite you year after year.
In these lessons, I’m going to share with you the very ideas that continue to drive my own fascination and enthusiasm for photography, and help you expand your own individual and personal approach to the image making process.

- 1GO BEYOND JUST TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
I won't tell you what shutter speed or aperture to use. I won't tell you what the best vantage points are. Most of the time, I won't even talk about mechanical stuff.

These are the concepts that excite and intrigue me on a very personal level. - 3SHORT, CONCISE, INTELLIGENT CONVERSATIONS
I realize that your time is valuable, so I promise not to waste any of it.

I'll leave you with some important concepts that you can ponder in your own photography mind. - 4ONE VIDEO PER MONTH
In order to not overwhelm you with too much content, I'll deliver one video conversation per month, each one about ten minutes.

Or you can learn at your own pace with the the bundle option. - 5TAKE PART IN OUR EXTENDED CONVERSATIONS

About Dan Bailey
With over 25 years experience as a professional outdoor shooter, instructor and writer, I have high level of mastery with photography and a unique, inspirational teaching style.
My ideas are based on giving students a mix of mentally engaging ideas that help expand creativity, and real-world methods that allow them to maximize their skills and confidence, while liberating them from the bounds of what they often think they're "supposed to do" in order to be good photographers.
The methods I teach are based on my own experience with equipment, technique and an approach that has allowed me to create highly successful imagery that has been used by top clients throughout my entire career. In addition, I've been able to discover and enjoy photography in an intensely and liberating way that offers me a high degree of creative fulfillment and continued excitement.
As an accomplished workshop leader, successful author and a Top 100 photography blogger, I have inspired thousands of people with my expert knowledge, my honest, down-to-earth approach, and my infectious, energetic attitude towards life and photography.
Now let me help you.
Dan wants his photography to allow the viewer "to become immersed in the action".
I have found his teaching style to do the same. He is able to share his knowledge of photography in a clear and uncomplicated way that is both inspiring and enjoyable.
You can't really be a follower without being enthused by your enthusiasm for photography
For me it's helped me just get out and do it, no matter what the weather.
I recently sent an email regarding tips in using wide angle lenses and must admit quick surprise it was actually YOU responding and not perhaps a staff assistant. This has spurred me "onward" to enjoy, learn, do my best and enjoy, enjoy and again enjoy while I am able.
I have signed up and viewed the first lesson and found it helpful!
.
Dan Bailey’s knowledge of outdoor photography is as good as it gets!
His enthusiasm and passion for making images is unparalleled. He simplifies what could be complex, and imparts a vision that inspires one to get out and shoot. Dan is approachable and responsive to any questions one might have. I have had the pleasure of attending workshops and presentations with Dan, and he personifies talent, integrity and expertise and caring. Plus, he is FUN!
I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to gain further insights into photography.
Not just another course on photography, "Photography on the Brain" gives insights into why we should try different approaches in order to become better photographers. For example rather than simply describe what a wide angle lens is, Dan talks about how it can affect you compositional style and how you can use it to your advantage in certain situations.
I look at your web site at least every week.
You are in my top 4 camera web sites. I have recommended you to friends who have enjoyed your blog even more than me.
Composition is not a natural gift of mine, but your work has challenged and inspired me, and I think I'm getting better. Crazy inspiration! Sound practical advice. Objective analysis. Helpful.
I’m sure that experiencing Dan’s energy and enthusiasm in this medium will add another dimension to the learning, encouraging one’s creative breakthroughs. I’ll certainly be joining that subscriber list.
Dan is a professional shooter, teacher and blogger with a passion for sharing his experience and insights with others. He has an easy, relaxed style of communication, making it enjoyable to read or listen to his insight.
I recently listened to an hour-long podcast interview with Dan. I was so taken with his knowledge and passion for photography that I wrote to tell him how inspiring I found it. He wrote back immediately thanking me and told me he is planning a monthly video-style blog series for subscribers that will provide personal instruction and inspiration.
Dan’s passion for photography is infectious and motivational
Dan's dynamic teaching approach is based on liberating people from the hugely technical side, instead emphasising the ‘get out there and give it a go’ method. He has remarkable ability to break down analysis and learning into bite-size chunks that give you the confidence to try.
Many would-be teachers get bogged down in what they regard as essential details before suggesting taking a photo, by which time the student’s mind is not on the photo, but the camera.
Obviously with Dan’s experiential learning approach, every student is allowed to start at their own beginning.
Dan is very generous not only with his time but his knowledge and experiences. He is not a pixel-peeper, he views cameras as tools, not subjects for constant comparison, and his primary aim is to get the highest quality picture in the simplest way and to share his knowledge with everyone who is interested.
Your stuff on the web is really inspiring.
You have this great ability to make things easy to understand. Especially your brilliant e-book "X-series unlimited" have been very useful and motivating in understanding, exploring and be able to get the most out of my XT-2.
I see you as a Giver, and it is very inspiring to have the possibility to learn the best tips and tricks from an outstanding photographer. Keep up the good work!
Dan is a wonderful teacher who sincerely enjoys helping others
He uses a direct but kind approach and caters his lessons to your skill level. His lessons and inspirational words help keep me motivated on tough days! I recommend this course for all photographers, regardless of skill level, as his experience and guidance is applicable to all who seek to improve their work.
Your advice has inspired me to try new things
I consider myself an advanced amateur and my interests range from macro/close-up of flowers and plants, to landscapes. Dan Bailey provides great advice that will help you get to the next level.
What a great opportunity to learn
After leaving film photography 25 years ago, Dan has brought me into digital photography and has always encouraged me. He will ask what I am shooting, make a positive comment and then a suggestion that I might try.
I would like to thank you taking the time to look at and comment on my two recent photo submissions to photography on the brain group on Flickr.
I am really liking those comments! They have helped fuel my excitement for photography.
