WHAT ARE PHOTOGRAPHERS SAYING ABOUT THE DIY UV VIDEO WORKSHOP?

“I purchased the DIY UV printer for Alternative Photographers from Tim Layton's website and watched immediately almost the entire thing without stopping. The material was presented in a very easy-to-follow, step-by-step format that worked well for me. All the chapters were labeled nicely so when I choose to go and do the actual build, it will be easy for me to find any section and jump back and forth to the desired portion. The materials need to build the printer are easily found and Tim even gives tips on how to turn household items into helpful options. I would totally recommend purchasing this course and can’t wait for the next one to come out.” -Anicia B.
