Submit questions prior to a live Q&A event

Each lesson has its own Q&A event

Once you have had time to watch the video, you can submit questions in advance of this Q&A event. This will allow me time to prepare decent answers for you, maybe with illustrations.

• Get further input from other questions

• Further input and ideas from Bruce

ask questions prior to a live Q&A event

My aim is to give you a teaching format where you can review the material over the course of a week, and then submit questions in advance for a Q&A webinar.

My intention is to collect questions before the Q&A webinar, so that I can prepare some good illustrations and answers for you.

What's included

• Four 1-hour recorded lessons on image composition techniques.
• Four 1-hour Q&A sessions (1 for each recorded lesson)
• Plus downloadable recordings of each Q&A event, for your own reference.
