>>4461758The only thing they can teach that's of any value is things like lighting techniques, and general tips that you're bound to learn through practice.
For example how flashes you should use and the ratio of which to set each one at for desired effect...
What times of the day to shoot certain things at for best results...
The rest is basically bullshit, and they spend half of it shilling Adobe software as a gigantic grooming operation to churn out retards who would pay to take "classes" on how to use a camera, to fool them into paying a lifelong subscription to Adobe for shit that isn't even related to photography but pajeet tier editing. Such as, replacing people by doctoring photos with AI, enhancing photos with AI garbage to get uncanny shitstain looks, and other nonsense like content aware fill to remove things like a hecking guy wearing a MAGA Ha-I mean, nazi uniforms as they walk down the street.
Oh, they might also tell you why a lens hood is important but that depends.
Really all of it just covers the basics. Do not need to pay.
Literally don't pay for it and buy gear instead and just play with the gear. You'll win in the end having experience, gear, and no faggots that need you to suck up to their agenda to pass.
