FAQ

Do I need a professional camera?

Yes, you’ll need a camera with "Manual Mode" (M) capabilities to get the most out of this course.

Can't I just learn all this for free on YouTube?

You certainly can find the information, but you can’t find the feedback. The biggest hurdle for new photographers isn’t "knowing" the settings; it’s applying them in real-time. This course gives you a professional instructor standing next to you to tell you exactly why your photo is too dark or blurry right when it happens.

What happens if it rains on May 30th?

We can always reschedule to a date that is convenient to all.

Is this for beginners?

Absolutely. We start from the ground up, but move quickly into advanced creative techniques.

We all have a unique way of looking at the world, but sometimes the "Technical Wall" gets in the way of sharing that vision. This 4-week journey isn't just about buttons and dials; it’s about giving you the keys to your own creativity. By the time we head outdoors for our final session on May 30th, you won’t be second-guessing your settings you’ll be hunting for the perfect light.
