All courses via The Wandering Lens are provided in a written format. This is because Lisa (me, hi!) is a journalist and writer by trade (photography came after working in newspapers + travel media) and teaches better this way. In addition to this, the courses have been running for 3 years now and students have noted that it’s really helpful to have the workbooks available to download and read through at their own pace, rather than having to watch, rewind or pause a video. Also, I’m super awkward on camera, trust me when I say it’s best that I write it all out for you :)
