I spent years of my life combing through information, practicing, and experimenting, trying to get my photos to look like the ones in magazines.
For a long time I believed
"They must be using a better camera"
But then one day everything changed.
I went workshop hosted by a catalog photographer.
There were giant lights set up and a paper backdrop - when it was my turn to shoot the host handed me a PocketWizard and told me to put it on my hotshoe. It was clear I had no idea what I was doing so he told me how to set my Shutter Speed, ISO, and Aperture without me having to ask.
I stepped up in front of the model (I was clearly more nervous than she was), focused and pressed the shutter button.
POP! Bright light filled the room and was gone in an instant.
I took a peek at the back of my camera and was literally BLOWN AWAY at the sharpness, the color!
With a basic 8 megapixel DSLR and a kit lens, I had finally taken a photo that looked like like it belonged in a magazine! Well, in terms of color and sharpness, anyway. My composition and posing still needed a bit of work.
Of course I tried different types of lighting in the past, but never got results like this.
But that's when I realized:
"You can make amazing photos with a basic camera if you have
GOOD LIGHT."
You're probably thinking I'm going to tell you that you need giant studio lights, but that's simply not true. Once I understood a few key principles and practiced them, I became able to take better photos with all different types of light!
Since that time technology advanced a long way and today cameras and lighting equipment on the market have a dizzying array of complex features. I mean that literally, the features gear has can have your head spinning!
You can spend all day looking up terms and reading about equipment, hitting dead end after dead end… and after all your effort you’re likely to be more confused and frustrated than when you started.
Sadly, many features that were designed to help photographers often cause confusion instead, and I see a lot of bad advice being given out by people with good intentions.
I hate seeing photographers like you struggle unnecessarily!
This is why I decided to create a program that takes you on a direct path to Master Lighting.
I have taken all my years of research, experimentation, shooting for magazines, fashion designers, hosting events and workshops and put it all together in an easy to follow program designed to give photographers like you a straight path to success.
I’ve laid down the groundwork, all you need to do is walk along with me.
No dead ends, no detours, no techno-blabble filled rabbit holes!
