Seems pretty steep for showing you how to do things like everyone else does for free on Youtube and elsewhere. Learn from all the tutorials that are free to view and learn all you can. What overlays does he sell that you can't find, shoot and make yourself?

Don't know if this is the same Jake Olson - but worth looking into.

I actually prefer the images of Russian photographer Elena Shumilova. Her images seem more genuine to me and less contrived.

Personally, from what I read here, and I did not read it all but enough to form a personal opinion, this Olson guy sounds like he is a legend in his own mind. I've never heard of him before and can't say I really want to hear any more. However this thread has probably added significantly to his prominence, at least in his mind.
