My tutor was not even close to CNN , but he had a very special/individual approach to each student. He always first asks what you already know, so that you would not waste your time on things you already know. (If any interest to contact him, here is his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marekssteins/)

Another thing what I found very helpful, was looking at other photographer works on 500px , because you can see settings for each picture. I think it is very helpful, so I tried this for my own page: ( https://madaraparma.com/travel-by-madara-parma-photography/ ) If you click on the picture, you can see the settings I used.
