Do you own a DSLR or mirrorless camera but still shoot in automatic mode?
If your photos don’t turn out the way you imagine them, it’s not a lack of talent!
It’s simply that no one has ever clearly explained what really happens when you change aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
This course was created for exactly that reason.

My innovative method has been developed and refined over the course of more than 20 years of experience, with valuable feedback from my students playing a key role in its evolution. In just 22 lessons, you will learn how to use manual mode on your camera to take the photos you have always dreamed of. Take photos, learn and enjoy practising photography techniques and composition. The course will focus largely on practical exercises to help you develop your skills and become increasingly adept at taking beautiful photographs in a simple and instinctive way.
