“Marc’s seminar was an essential stepping stone for me to go from mid-level listing agents to Luxury level listing agents.  Since the seminar, I’ve landed new clients and more importantly turned them into repeat clientele. My quality and composition have evolved tremendously and my ability to differentiate quality has ultimately led me to higher rates for my services.  Simply put the seminar has already paid off many times over.  I was stunned recently when looking at my pre-workshop photography vs my post-workshop photography.  The difference was day and night.  I highly recommend Marc if you want to take your business to the next level.” ~ A.J. Weber – Real Estate Photographer

“My photos have taken on a new level of luxury thanks to Marc’s expert coaching in post-processing, particularly in regards to window pulls, blending ambient and flash exposures. If you’re serious about improving your technique as a real estate or architectural photographer, Marc’s Mastering Luxury Real Estate Workshop is a workshop you can’t afford to miss.”  ~ Christian Viera – Real Estate Photographer
