This is just what professional Photographers need in this tough environment! Everyone is buying cheep high megapixel digital cameras and are entering the field and dont know anything about photography. They are calling themselves photographers and are undercutting our prices, taking our business away and giving the industry a bad name. You are now teaching all businesses how to take commercial photographs of their Products using professional lighting and techniques and giving them just enough information to be dangerous or should I say sell your product. I quote you as saying "The course will provide businesses, especially the growing number of online retailers that shoot their own product photography, with valuable information on how to produce more effective, ready-to-use digital images." and "Online business professionals will learn the importance of positioning and lighting and how to effortlessly produce high-quality, professional-looking product images without having to commission the services of outside professionals." This is just one more nail in the coffin of Professional Photographers. But you dont care about us, you want to sell your lights and equipment to the masses. Please leave the profession to the Professionals. I have been a loyal customer of Bogen for many years and this does not make me happy that you are marketing to the very businesses that are our customers. Thank you very much.
