Should you buy the Annie Leibovitz MasterClass?

Annie Leibovitz is one of the most well-known portrait photographers in the world, and if you're unsure if you've seen her work, let me tell you that you have.

She recently created a 15-lesson video course for MasterClass, an online education platform, and I was super excited to watch. 

The cost? $90 for about 3 hours of video and PDFs for each lesson. Do you think that sounds like too much? (To be fair, I was truly going to purchase it, but my dad gifted it to me for Christmas instead.) 

THE BIGGEST THINGS TO KNOW:

• YES you should buy this if you're a photographer looking for creative inspiration
  
• NO you should not buy this if you're looking for technical tips (she basically gave none)

​
WHAT I ENJOYED SO MUCH:

• Her story and how she made it to where she is (so inspirational!)
• How she works (she's like me!); she's self-taught and not into gear or technical aspects)
• She taught me that it's ok to tell people I won't show them images until after they've been edited (sure I already knew that, but sometimes I need to be reminded that "it's ok")
• She also taught me that I don't have to love my work - I can just redo it, or be ok with it not being perfect (as a perfectionist, I also need to be reminded of that)

I'm not giving much of it away, but I do think that the above should be considered prior to purchasing the lessons.

Enjoy (or don't)!

Happy Friday!
