“Recently completed a 2 month portrait photography mentorship programme conducted by Ejun, and was blown away by how much he was willing to teach (and how quickly I learnt under his guidance). I am a self taught portraiture hobbyist and the lessons from the program have been invaluable in improving my craft. As Ejun only takes in 3 students (per class), there is ample time for him to guide and give relevant tips on how to improve. Not only does he have the experience, but also a strong command of language to concisely tell you what needs to be done to improve your shoot (and instructions to the model on how to pose). Students also have the opportunity of viewing fellow mentees when they take their shots, and this tremendously enhances the learning process. The biggest take-away I had from the programme is the usefulness of a structured routine in the beginning of a shoot and have already been applying it in my own shoots (with positive results). In all, I would rate this programme a solid 5 stars. All portrait photographers who are serious about their craft should attend it.”

“Hey there, I’m a full-time headshot photographer and I got some great news to share! I recently took up the Portrait Mentorship Programme with the one and only, Master Portrait Photographer, Ejun Low. I must say I learn damn a lot from him over the past 8 lessons! And the real game-changer for me was his ‘portrait routines’ during the practical shooting sessions. They’re like secret weapons which I wasted no time in trying it out with my headshot clients. IT WORKS! And the results were incredible! I highly recommend this fantastic programme and it's an absolute must for any photographer who is dead serious about shooting people. Ejun is a fun, committed and willing to share Mentor. I guarantee you’ll be soaking up two decades of his genius – from his top photography tricks to those juicy trade secrets.”

“Attended both Ejun's portrait masterclass and his 2-months mentorship program. Both were incredibly insightful. His expertise in photography and professionalism was evident throughout, and I gained invaluable techniques in lighting, composition, editing and posing. He also introduced his routine shooting during the mentorship which helped me build confidence in capturing portraits. I highly recommend his programs to anyone looking to elevate their portrait photography skills.”

“I have just recently completed Ejun Portrait Program. I would say it's definitely an eye opener, the way he conducted his course and his routine to get his clients into the mood to capture their portrait made this course worth it. As a mentor Ejun is also very experienced and spot on with his comments and would guide you along during the course. For any aspiring portrait photographers, this is definitely the course that would help kick start your journey.”

“Ejun is not only a grandmaster of portrait photography, he is also a great teacher! I attended his recent studio portraiture photography workshop, and despite being in the industry for over 10 years, still managed to learn a great deal from him - he really pulled out all stops to impart his craft and knowledge during those 4 hours! His workshop should be aptly renamed as MasterClass! Do note you need to be proficient in your craft and gears as a pre-requisite for this course. Highly recommended for pros and semi-pros!”
