How to Capture Jaw-Dropping Photos From The Comfort of Your Home
If there was an easy way to capture creative photos that make people gasp and say “Wow! How’d you take that?”… would you be interested?
What if all you needed was a selection of simple and creative photography projects? Ones that you could do from the comfort of your home?
And the photos you captured received hundreds of likes on Facebook and Instagram.
And reached the front pages of websites like Flickr, 500px, and Reddit…?
My name is Josh Dunlop, and here’s something few people know…
You can master creative photography, 10x better than you can imagine now… all you need is a simple guide and a few hours of your time.
Try 30 new creative projects from your home
“Wow Factor Photography” is a 30-day photography project video course, on the art of photo creativity.
It shows you how to capture world-class images in the comfort of your home.
We don’t fuss about the gear you have or even recommend you buy more of it. The “secret” to exceptional photography is how you use it.
Which is why throughout this course, you’ll see me shooting with the Canon EOS Rebel T6 (AKA the 1300D), the cheapest DSLR I could find.
Some of the skills you’re going to gain include:
- The exact settings I use to take 30 different creative photos (and the reason behind my decisions)
- Behind-the-scenes training on how every scene is setup
- Why we use manual focus for the majority of our shots, for the most reliable results
- The do’s and don’ts of light and colour
- And much, much more…
