Description

I started in photography hoping to pay off my camera.  In a few short months I had paid off my full frame DSLR, pro lens, and lights by using a really effective photography system.  I'll show you this system and take you along as we shoot portraits and pose subjects.  Photography is a super competitive market and it's hard to make money.  If you want a shot at a successful photography business study with someone who has run a profitable photography business (many online instructors haven't ever done this).

When. you done, you'll be able to:

  • Build hundreds of photo poses from memory

  • Discover great portrait light with ease

  • Master professional photo editing

  • Find your creativity as a photographer and artist
