Absolutely! We deliberately made sure that the two complement each other perfectly and harmonize with each other. And yet each works well on its own.
We are often asked whether we can recommend a cool book for photography beginners in addition to our online photo course.
Now we can finally answer this question with a clear conscience: Yes, we can!
