I can't say that I was impressed by the Rankin Photography course as I wasn't. Rankin himself comes across really well but I thought that the practical aspects of the course, such as manual settings were given very little time. Then suddenly he was in a studio with an experienced model, make up artist and lighting assistants. Most photographers will only ever dream of having such facilities. The interviews with the model and the 3 other photographers were informative and interesting but I doubt that anyone will learn a great deal from it. This course tempted me into the Maestro program but I fear it will have been money wasted as Youtube provides far more practical information.
