YouTube
You search for hours skimming video after video for an answer to your question, only to find incomplete, irrelevant, or confusing information. Sometimes you're not even sure you're searching for the right thing.
You find one video that looks promising, but you don't recognize the equipment they're using and they never mention it in the video or description. You leave a comment and hope to get an answer.
Days go by.
Another video provides a shopping list of stuff (including Amazon links totaling over $3000.
You wonder to yourself, "Do I need all of it? If I get it all, will help me create the images I want? How do I use it?"
Facebook Groups
You ask for help from your favorite photography related Facebook groups, but the answers you get sound great, but there are inconsistencies. Suddenly, two commenters are going back and forth arguing about a concept you're only vaguely familiar with. Which one is right?
Someone tells you to buy a new camera; another person says you just need a $2000 lens. A third persons says not to worry, you can just just use AI or buy a filter pack to fix all the blurriness, noise, and color.
But something doesn't feel right... how did photographers create all those amazing images before AI and filters existed?
How do you know who to trust?
Finally you just go on Amazon and order the cheapest lens you can find and cross your fingers that it gives you the images that you want. (big mistake)
In Person Workshops
The workshop was great, and the instructor knowledgable.
The photos came out awesome! But now that you're alone again you just can't remember exactly what they did to make it work. You took notes, but the settings the instructor used aren't giving you the same results.
Making things worse, you don't have the same equipment, the same studio, or the same subject – you wonder how you can take what you learned and apply it to YOUR photography. Is it even possible?
Without further guidance, you just go back to shooting the way you did before the workshop – you tell yourself that you'll figure it out someday.
Read on: Because Understanding Exposure Has All the Answers You Need
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 nearly 20 years ago everything changed.
I went to a small local camera store and told the owner I wanted to buy a $600 lens.
Knowing I was a beginner, he asked me what I was trying to shoot (he already knew what equipment I had, because I bought it from him!)
After I explained, he told me I probably didn't need to drop $600 on the lens, all I needed was to learn Manual Mode.
He also recommended a few books and a teacher I work with and told me if that didn't help, he would sell me the lens - at a discount!
I followed his advice and before I knew it, I was taking great photos!
I remember the first time I took a peek at the back of my camera and was literally BLOWN AWAY at the sharpness, the color!
With a basic 6 megapixel DSLR and a kit lens, I had finally taken a photo that looked like like it belonged in a magazine!
Of course I tried many different things 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 understand
three things."
Once I learned and 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 Mastering Exposure because in all this time, the way cameras capture light and turn it into photographs has improved but the fundamentals haven't changed!
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.
Everything I learned about Mastering Exposure 20 years ago still applies today!
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!
