This is a great course, if you want to learn about photography as an art or cultural piece. Story Telling Photos, involve what the viewer sees in the photograph and not what the photographer is seeing in his head.
I don't think this is a beginner course, although it really should be one of the first courses any photographer should take. Don't look for praise on a good photograph if it doesn't tell a story!

I learned a great deal from this course. It makes you think beyond exposure and composition, and really think about what you want to say with a photograph. The course material is good and Rob's critiques are honest and respectful, as well as timely.

For some photographers the beautiful image is the ultimate success. This course steps beyond that and forces us to expand into an almost journalistic arena. To tell a story with an image or even several images can be difficult, as I found out when taking the course.Telling a story within a photograph is a wonderful skill for a photographer to learn. If you want to go beyond the pretty image I recommend that this course be on the short list of courses to take.

I didn't like it so much. Probably I thought it was completely different since the teacher was the editor of Outdoor Photography for such a long time. I thought it was going to focus more on what does work and what doesn't on a publishing point of view.

This course was a lot of fun. It taught me a whole new way to think about photography, and the content of photos that I take. It was not an easy concept for me to grasp. I think the best way to learn the material was to read all the critiques.Highly recommended. My only criticism is that it should be an 8 week course. I hope Rob starts a Storytelling Photos Level 2 course.

I think the lessons are too heavily focused on Landscape/nature photography; more general examples and photos would be better. Also, better examples and explanations of how to tell a story because I never really got it.Also, I really did not like the critiques - I found them short, repetitive (like, Copy and Paste) and not all that helpful. More real thought and time should go into student critiques. And, out of the four weeks, there were only two Photos of the Week. What's up with that? If the instructor does not have time to do this course, he should not be trying to do it.
