Description
Do you want to learn portrait photography?
Super, this is the only course that will teach the pro insider tricks that work. Here's why most instructors have never worked as a professional so they only know the theory.
This course will teach you a proven, professional portrait photography system I perfected over years of shooting events professionally.
I personally guarantee that if you're not able to take pro photos and you completed 100% of the course and all required exercises you can get a 30-day refund without any guilt. Here's why, I'm positive my dead simple photography system works. Do you know why?
I build a business using it and got over 50, 5-star reviews in a saturated photography market in Hawaii.
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 are 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
Professional tips and tricks to improve your photography
