Happy with my purchase and excellent/responsive customer service, thank you!

When I wrote asking for a follow up on my order, the response time was within a couple of minutes. So impressed with the customer service. Thank you.

As a photographer myself here in Canada, I first found out about Joel Grimes on Creative Live. I have several tutorials from Joel and they are fantastic. The tutorials are very detailed and since between life and work I don't have much spare time; by purchasing the curses I can learn on my own free time. Detailed and very creative, it is a resource that I can use time after time. Thank you, Joel and your team. Wesley Raffan

Chris did a great job correcting mistake.Thanks Chris

I have followed Joel Grimes for some years now and have bought his courses. I went to see him at the Photography event in London earlier this year, he is a powerhouse of creativity. In the Sailor Portrait video Joel talks you through how he goes about getting these brilliant images. It's like being in the studio with him where you learn what works, what doesn't work, resulting in excellent images.

Joel is an absolute living legend! I have several of his instructional courses, and they've been a huge help to my photography career. He explains everything: lighting, posing, gear, retouching, and it's all step-by-step as though you were with him one-on-one. His portraits are truly stunning, and his videos explain exactly how he does it. It's amazing how generous Joel is in sharing his hard-earned experience and techniques. His courses are worth every penny. Recently, I mistakenly ordered the wrong series and his team immediately corrected the situation, and they gave me the correct series at no extra charge, even though it cost a bit more than the one I had purchased. They're the best!

As someone passionate about photography, I can confidently say that Joel Grimes’ online courses on JoelGrimes.com have been some of the most valuable and inspiring I've ever taken. Joel is a true professional with decades of experience and it shows in every single lesson. As a Canon Explorer of Light, he brings not only his talent but also a deep understanding of visual storytelling, technical precision, and creative artistry. What sets these courses apart is the range and depth of content. Whether you're diving into dramatic portraits, still life, urban landscapes, lighting, or even learning how to master post-processing and retouching — Joel covers it all. He also walks you through real-world scenarios like shooting on location, setting up a studio at home, and even how to turn your passion into a business. His "start to finish" tutorials — including beauty headshots, strobing nature, dramatic character shoots like "The Buffalo Soldier," or stylized concepts like "Mad Max" and "Nefertiti" — are incredibly insightful. The fact that he covers everything from gear and composition to printing and business strategy makes this a complete learning journey, not just a series of isolated tips. On top of that, the customer support team is excellent — fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Any time I’ve had a question or needed help navigating the platform, they’ve responded quickly and gone above and beyond to assist. Joel’s approach is authentic, encouraging, and filled with the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from years behind the lens. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned shooter looking to level up, this library is worth every second. Highly recommended for anyone serious about photography. Thank you, Joel, for sharing your knowledge with such generosity and passion!

Joel and his team have never failed to reply to me or make it right with me. They help me get things installed to get things rolling. Dave always answered my emails you can't ask more from the company than having their full support. Thank you, Joel.
