Your photo shoot in one word. Aaaaaargggh!
It's not your fault
For too long the camera industry has treated us like engineers and not regular people. Too many acronyms, fractions, and complicated rules. It's like they are trying to confuse you.
What we need is an explanation with simple step-by-step instructions, so you can easily create what you see in front of you.
Take the photography class made for Canon photographers struggling to learn your camera
Is this for you?
I have helped thousands of beginners and enthusiasts learn to take great pictures, and in that time, we've learned that certain types of people learn best with us.
Do you see yourself in any of these scenarios?
Passionate photographer
- You are always the one who has the camera. Everyone assumes you will be the one who will take the family photos.
- You are never in any vacation photos. The family vacation memories are seen through your eyes. And that's the way you like it.
New camera owner
- You just bought a fancy new camera, and you want to get the most out of it.
- You aren't sure what all those buttons do, but you are sure that you could be awesome if you did.
- You tried reading books and watching YouTube videos, but you are still a little confused.
Ready to get better
- You see a great shot in your head, but when you take the photo, it never looks the same.
- You take 100 shots and get a few good ones, but it is mostly by chance. You'd like to be more deliberate about making great pictures.
- People tell you that you have a good eye for photography. You think you do okay, but you would love to get better.
Back from a break
- You took photography classes a long time ago when you were in school. You decided to get back into it again. Now you need to relearn the basics.
- Your parents were photographers. You grew up with cameras and learned from them. Now it's time to step out on your on.
- You used to shoot film cameras a long time ago. You just rediscovered photography with digital, and you are energized.
