Here is what one safarian had to say about the Real Estate Photography safari:
I took the real estate photography class with Leo on Saturday and want to let you know that it was very good. Leo took the time to explain the basics and his handout was very helpful. He took time to work with each of us on the composition for each scene. The house is amazing with incredible detail everywhere. P. Fields, Bethesda, MD
