"I’ve had the great privilege of studying Liesl Walsh’s courses “Selling Online: How I Broke the Code”, and now Mastering Photography and I wanted to share a few words with photographers looking for an easy leg-up to your next level. As a photographer, Liesl Walsh is the whole package: a master of imagining, planning, shooting, editing, and selling her work over and over again. As a photography educator, Liesl has the gift of teaching every one of these facets of photography so naturally with an unwavering open book and open-arms generosity, she leaves you fully confident and eager to apply what you learned immediately. Rarely does she leave a question unanswered during any of her classes because she already knows the potential challenges and guides you through them. And when there are questions, Liesl backs up her course with weekly live meetings to make sure you’ve got all the answers and support you need to succeed. So, when it comes to finding a teacher to take you by the hand and show you how they do what they do so you can too, or need another professional to elevate your work with an objective set of trained eyes, you won’t find a more genuine, passionate, and knowledgeable photography instructor than Liesl Walsh."

"Liesl Walsh and I have been colleagues and friends for several years. We met under the canopy of the Photoserge Academy. She has always been welcoming and available, offering her advice on many photography related issues. I know that I can always count on her artistic sensibilities, as they relate to photo processing and visual credibility. She's smart, has tremendous moral character, and cares deeply about her work."

"... From the moment I enrolled in Liesl’s courses, I was impressed by her passion for her art and her unwavering commitment to empowering her students. 

With a rare blend of technical proficiency and artistic insight, Liesl has an ability to break down complex concepts into digestible nuggets of wisdom, telling the "Why” behind the critique and suggested edits. 

In my opinion what sets Liesl apart is not just her mastery of photography and editing ..., but her genuine investment in her student’s growth. She fosters an inclusive and supportive learning environment where creativity flourishes and confidence soars. Her personalized approach ensures that every student receives the guidance and encouragement they need to reach their full potential. 

I thoroughly enjoy learning from Liesl, I have learned more in a few short months with Liesl than in several years prior with other instructors. Her invaluable feedback and constructive criticism have encouraged me to continue to improve and given me the confidence to begin selling my own work. And for that, I am eternally grateful."

"What set Liesl apart was her unwavering dedication to her students' success. She went above and beyond her role as an instructor. Late-night questions were met with patient responses, and she tirelessly provided additional resources and support. Her genuine desire to see each of us excel was palpable, and it motivated us to put in our best efforts.

She encouraged us to explore our creativity, experiment with different techniques, and to aim for artistic excellence.
