TESTIMONIALS
I was a pretty good photographer prior to taking Erich Caparas’ two-day workshop, but this brief training was a game changer for me! My very first shoot after learning from Erich yielded an image that won multiple international awards, including qualifying me for Team USA for World Photographic Cup 2021! Not only is Erich an excellent teacher for image capture, but his post-production techniques turn an ordinary image into a world-class competition image. I cannot recommend his training highly enough!!! I will forever be in his debt! If anybody has hesitation about learning from Erich, take this as the most enthusiastic endorsement! - Rosalind Guder, 2021 Team USA
I first came across Erich Caparas’ work while print handling for a competition in 2016. I was so smitten by his work that I knew I had to learn from him. We set up a one-on-one workshop and my life changed. Erich has been my mentor since and over the years, he has become a very good friend. His photography and editing style and techniques are unique and incredible. I have even been fortunate enough to be able to assist him in his various photo sessions and workshops and have learnt so much from him. He is a great teacher, coach and mentor and above all, an amazing human being. Thank you Erich for all your help in shaping my photography career. I am truly grateful. - Swati Chakraborty , MPI International Photographer of the Year 2020

Master Erich Caparas is my best teacher and inspiration in photography. I simply cannot put in words how great he is. All of his works are a Work of Art, a combination of contemporary and fashion. His mastery to his photos equals to perfection and achievement in photography every photographers should aspire. Erich as a mentor will explain to you photography in a simple way, and you can apply it to your photos and post processing easily. As one of his student, I also aspire to be like him in the future. Recognized as One of the Best!!!! - Clark Sarmenta, wedding photographer.
I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend one of your "one on one" workshops. I will never forget spending those few days together. I am reminded of you every day as I work with the Photoshop tools and techniques you taught me. I hope to spend time with you again. Besides being such a visionary and master photographer, you are an incredible human being. So glad our paths crossed, however briefly. - Charlie Krusac, underwater photographer
When I first saw very distinct and elegant portraits images in (IPC) international print competition the same person who created these images won many award year after year, and I kept seeing the name “Erich Caparas “ not many people in the competition world know him until he won so many award nationally and internationally has represented team USA many time for world cup photography competition. I was so lucky to have a chance to learn from Erich Caparas when he has two days workshop in Florida. Amazing lighting and photoshop editing technique. The best two days class I have ever attended. The best part all his student has live time access to his courses on line Thank you Erich and now I just need to implement it. - Yedi Koeshendi, photographer, digital painter.
Erich Caparas, miss you and will never forget your advice and your teaching that make me more confident with my photography and hope will meet again one day. Thank you so much. - Pore Ooi Photographer and judge, International Multi-award and WPPI Grand award winner.
As a member and Master with the Master Photographers International Organization, Erich Caparas is not only an icon in the industry of photography but also one of the best educators we have had present.
Erich is very passionate in what he teaches and how he teaches. He is extremely thorough and takes his time with his students, giving them guidance that takes them to extreme levels. One of Erich’s past students work was so well done, winning the TOP tittle at the annual MPI International Image Challenge, and winning the cup for her country.
His method of teaching is so entailed, and for all levels of photographers. I would say his teaching extends to a university level. If you are looking at creating high quality work in portrait photography, Erich’s mentorships and workshops are a top candidate for many looking to excel in their work.
It is an honor to submit this reference for Erich Caparas. - Tula Edmunds -MPC, MPF, MPN, M. Photog. Founder, VP, IIC Administrator

I have known Erich for many, many years and I consider him a phenomenal artist, a Master photographer and a great teacher. I continue to learn and be inspired by his work of art, great compositions, creativity, posing skills and definitely his Photoshop skills- simply amazing. He is very well published in magazines and yet unselfishly teaches his skills to many of us with 1:1 seminars, tutorials and he makes it simple and results are so dramatic. - Doctor Ernie Uy, photographer and official doctor of the Miss Universe Pageant
Erich is the consummate professional. He takes pride in attention to details and the final outcome is always within grasp of his visions. I'm fortunate to have learned from him. – Gene Domingo, professional photographer
Had an amazing 2 day workshop with Erich. Learnt loads about lighting, how to pose a model and studio technique. Then to photoshop where Erich really opens your eyes to what's possible. You'll learn all kinds of techniques, tricks and tips that will launch your photography and editing to new levels. I've met up with Erich many times since our workshop to shoot and the events are always full of talented and interesting people. After a workshop with Erich you'll keep learning way after the course. – Mark Pacey, professional photographer
Definitely the best workshop I attended. This workshop will open your eyes to how simple photoshop is and get rid of all the overwhelming procedures. You'll be amazed at how simple photo retouching and compositing is. After attending this, one can create his/her own signature look without working under the shadows of the masters. Worth the investment! Thanks Erich for the valuable knowledge you imparted to us. - Randeeh Cruz, owner of Likha Studios Florida
Awesome workshop Erich! After going through online tutorials where you can only get basics, it is always great to go through a workshop under a very knowledgeable master where you can see how it is done and work through the process with the guidance and critique of an expert. The investment is worth it if you are really serious about developing your skills and not just copy the works of other photographers. Thanks for the opportunity. It is an investment which we have easily gained back with additional clients. No pain, no gain! - Grace De Guzman - serious photo enthusiast
