"Joel is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Learning from him really helped me develop as a creative and also as a person.
I studied with Joel at the Barbados Community College and then worked as his personal photo assistant for about 3 to 4 years. In that time I learned photography, Photoshop, studio lighting and the business of photography.
Studying and working with Joel definitely gave me the ability to take that professional leap. Now I am working for local, regional and international clients."

"I would definitely recommend the Joel Brooks Light Lab 1 courses. They have helped me a lot with my photography and gave me a good knowledge of my camera.
When I first bought my camera, I didn't know what any of the buttons were for. So I started by doing Joel's beginners Foundation Course. I then went on to do the Photoshop Course and after that I signed up for the Lighting Course.
Having done these courses I feel far more comfortable. I now feel as if I know what I am doing and what I am looking for.
I feel confident with my photography over all. Going out there and doing the photo-shoots, positioning the lights at the correct angles etc. and then going home and doing the edits. I feel so much more rounded with my photography right now."

SHAWN FIELDS
"I've attended three of Joel's Light Lab 1 courses: Foundation, Photoshop and Work That Camera Workshop.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn't think I could find the time to attend all the classes but Joel always made them seem so invigorating and he always left you craving more knowledge, so I made the time. As the sessions continued my passion for photography grew stronger.
Since doing Joel's classes I've ventured off into the world of professional photography shooting for both local and international clients."

AMLEYA CLARKE
"My first formal education with photography was with the Joel Brooks Light Lab 1 Foundation Course and I thought it was the best start I could have ever had.
Photography definitely has very technical components and getting a firm understanding of the theory of this art is absolutely key.
The course was very comprehensive and I really felt empowered to experiment and be creative. Joel's approach is very encouraging and his style of teaching is clear and engaging.
Joel's course was an excellent starting point for my photography professionally. It definitely gave me confidence and a discerning eye for producing high-quality imagery."

He gave us lot’s of practical assignments to make sure that we really grasped the concepts and so that we could recall the information at a moments notice."

ANNALISE BENSKIN
"I didn’t have a clue how to use a camera when I started Joel’s Foundation Photography Course, I knew absolutely nothing about taking photographs but I did know that I needed to learn in order to promote my business and have the independence to take the shots I really wanted. I learnt so much in such a short space of time. I now have the confidence to take quality images of my products, which I am proud to show my clients. Joel’s teaching was clear and consistent. He is very patient and understanding for those individuals, like myself, who aren’t too quick off the mark. I couldn’t recommend Joel’s classes highly enough."
