Caren is a great presenter, full of enthusiasm and positive energy. She has in-depth working knowledge both as a photo editor and a photographer, enabling her to explain the creative process from both angles. I particularly appreciated Caren's personal touch, the time she took after class late in the evening to look at my portfolio and offer great honest feedback and advice. She happily stayed an extra hour just for us - until 11 p.m.! This seminar was packed with useful information, and I will apply it immediately. -- Nicolo Sertorio, freelance photographer, www.PhotoNicolo.com
