Do You...
Only Natural Light
You can take gorgeous, artistic portraits without having to pay for a studio, and without any lighting equipment.
In fact, without any additional equipment at all.
​
Just you, your camera, and your model.
​
And in any weather - sunny, cloudy or rainy.
​
You just need to know where to find great natural light around you, and how to use it.
The best natural light is often in the most unexpected, ordinary places. Places you wouldn't even think of. You would pass them on the street, without even looking.
Perfect Without Editing
Most people photography courses will teach you how to take a decent shot - then how to manipulate it to perfection in Photoshop, often beyond recognition.
​
I don't do that.
​
I teach how to make your portraits perfect straight from the camera, so there is no need for any editing.
​
How to create a finished image in the viewfinder, before pressing the shutter.
​
How to show people's real beauty, without digital manipulation.
3-Step System
There are 3 essential components of great people photography. These are the three things that you always have to get right to create beautiful images of people.
And these are the 3 steps of my system. A system that you can use yourself to get results like mine within days.
Results With Anyone
You don’t need professional models to create images like these.
You can get those results with complete amateurs.
You just need to know how to direct and pose them.
How to engage and interact with your model to get the best out of them.
How to make them relaxed, comfortable and confident in front of your camera.
​
How to capture emotions, natural expressions, and personality of your subject.
Lesson #1
This is a photo I took at one of my workshops, in the middle of a sunny day, with only natural light.
​
It's straight from the camera, without any editing.
​
In this 10-minute video, I will show you how exactly this photo was taken.
​
What are the key factors to get this result.
And no, it's not about camera settings.
2-Day Workshop
In this transformational 2-day workshop, I will show you where to find great natural light around you, and how to use it to create artistic, studio-like portraits. How to direct and pose people.
​
You will learn my entire system, all 17 techniques - and we will practice them together until you get them.
​
You will start taking photos like these yourself, within hours.
​
This workshop will change your entire experience of people photography, forever.
​
You will become a confident photographer of people, who can always get the results you want - consistently, anywhere, and with anyone.
