The course is mainly for photographers who wish to implement a unique and creative approach to photographing people. Some ideas need preparations, others can be done almost any time and anywhere. What the author is aiming at, is not necessairly creating identical images as the ones presented, but to use the knowledge, skills and ideas as a source of motivation for ones own photos. Many of the images the author talks about are drone shots. However they are all staged in what may often be odd and uncommon surroundings. Tim Demski loves mixing different styles and items, causing the observer to stop in their tracks and often ask the questions: How was that made? One of the main principles of this course is to teach the viewer not to use photoshop, but to be able to create what one may call "Hollywood effect" with the use of props and some photoghraphy tricks.
It's also worth mentioning, that many of the images presented in the videos have recieved awards in popular photography groups and wedding photography pages. The most popular and widely recognised is the circle of sheep shot, which made it to the final round of Mywed yearly contest as well as awards from Lookslikefilm and Prowedaward.
