what students are saying
The reason why this photography course has such a large number of great reviews - my students have massive breakthrough results in their photography skills in under 3 hours. I see it at every single class, students blow their own minds with what they're capable of learning, how easy it was, and how beautiful their photographic results are. Why spend 3 months in a classroom, or weeks watching YouTube videos, when you can fully acquire the skill of manual mode photography in 3 hours.
Why attend?
The purpose of this photography course is to rapidly transform your photography skills from a place of knowing absolutely nothing. You don't need any prior experience or photography knowledge to attend. You only need a digital camera that can shoot in manual mode - 99% of all DSLR / Mirrorless cameras have manual mode.

Here's how it works:
You rock up with a mirrorless camera or DSLR, without knowing a single thing about photography, and leave with the skills to use your digital camera in full manual mode, and finally start creating some of your own beautiful photography, beyond the happy snap world of phone photos.
Why spend $2k on a digital camera then only ever use it in automatic mode?
You may as well use your phone. Get off automatic mode and learn the fundamentals of manual mode in 3 hours. You'll walk away with everything you need to know about shutter speed aperture and ISO, and the drive to never use automatic mode again.
