Free Photography Classes for DIYP Readers – Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I’m feeling very Christmasy today – shopping is done, gifts are wrapped, projects are mostly complete for the year and I’m looking forward to a little time off before re-booting in the New Year.

I thought that it would be fun to kill two birds with one stone – I have a nice Christmas present for our loyal DIYP readers, and you have the chance to learn something new for the New Year – so here are a bunch of FREE enrollment links to all of my seven Skillshare photography classes.

Whats The Catch?

There isn’t one – these classes are completely free – just hit the link and click on the “Enroll For Free” button.

However, enrollment is limited to 50 for each class, so first come first served.

And, to be fair to everyone, please only enroll if you are genuinely interested in the class content and you can complete the class project within the next week or two.

If you like the class, I would also really appreciate a review!
