30 Day Photography Fundamentals Accelerator Information
Learn the fundamentals right in just 30 days and set yourself up for photography success.
When it comes to learning any skill, leveraging a mentor is one of the fastest and most effective ways to level-up.
Mentors have experience.They’ve have successes and they know what works, they’ve pushed past failures and know what to avoid; they’ve already navigated the road you’re looking at going down yourself and this experience is invaluable.
After almost 2 decades of being a creative across many different disciplines, every time I learn a new creative skillset, I always try to look for mentors because I know how effective it can be. However when I first started photography, I didn’t have one, and I wish I did; especially considering just how deep and wide this fantastic visual art can be.
And that’s the perspective to which I built this course. I had the question: “if I had a photography mentor when I was first starting, what would I learn? And how would I learn it?”
This course is the answer to that. It’s me, mentoring you.
It’s me teaching you the skillset that has landed me sponsorships and opportunities with almost every fortune 500 brand I’ve ever wanted to work with. It’s the skillset that is the foundation of how I was able to go pro in photography. But most importantly, it’s the skillset that’s unique to my perspective and my background; one that’s deeply rooted in not just photography, but in many creative disciplines and a comprehensive understanding of visual art and its methods, history, and perspectives, learned over decades.
In this course you’ll not only be able to learn how to use the camera, but you’ll also learn how to see the world as a photographer; how to gain a creative vision; a unique perspective. You’ll learn a holistic view of photography rather than a singular perspective, and I’ll also set you up for success in many of the auxiliary sub-skills you’ll need to learn along the way too.
This is the most comprehensive toolkit of skills I could ever give a single person, and I can’t wait to teach it to you.
