Learning

We believe everybody can learn how to make better photographs. In the highly visual world we are living in, photography is no longer just a hobby,  it’s another means of communication – just look at Instagram! And more often than not, the difference between another “meh” image and a traffic stopper is only a few short steps away.

Do you want to learn those steps?

Online Resources

Our free YouTube Channel is the obvious place to start. There you’ll find short informative videos with quick, easy to digest bits of information, and the odd behind the scenes snippets from some of our shoots (you might even find some unorthodox lightstands for your LED lamps being used every now and again…).

If you like it, don’t forget to hit the subscribe button to get the videos as they are uploaded.

Our latest online course, Single Light Photography with the Westcott Apollo 28″, now available on Udemy, focuses (no pun intended!) on how to improve your photography using a single light source. Get lifetime access to 6 hours of video, including:

• Tech stuff – don’t know how to use your speedlight, or set your camera’s exposure parameters? No worries, we’ve got you covered;
• Setups – we’ll guide you through our sets, showing you what were using to create the images you’ll see at the end;
• The shoot – this is where the fun stuff happens! Whether shooting a cake or a stunning model, we’ll talk you through it and show you what we’re looking for and how we get it;
• Image selection – so hmmm… yeah, your shoot is now done and you’ve got 200 images to choose from… how do you go about it? Take a peek at how we do it.
• Post-processing – from the RAW file to the final image, including the whole Photoshop shebang (and we’ve had students telling us these sections alone would be worth the price of admission!).

And if you use this link, you can get it for 50% off regular price.

3 hours of video, packed with information about how to improve your portraiture with a couple of lights and some simple modifiers.
Don’t have speedlights? No problem, you can use whatever lights you have – we did it with speedlights because we love them – and so will you, once we show you what they can do for you. 300 students have already signed up – meet you there too?

In this course we take you all the way through preparing the sets, placing your lights, setting your levels, shooting, and finally post-processing your results: if you don’t know how to use Photoshop but would like to learn what it can do for you, make sure to check it out.

To celebrate the launch of Single Light Photography, we’ve slashed the prices of our older courses. And if you use this link right here, you can get Portraiture With Two Speedlights for $15/€15 instead of the $50/€50 regular price.

Tabletop Photography was our first online course – and it has already helped more than 600 students improve their product photography. It’s 5 hours of video designed to help you chose your products, develop your photographic concepts, then match props that will make your photos stand out.

To celebrate the launch of Single Light Photography, we’ve slashed the prices of our older courses. Join in – and use this link to get Tabletop Photography for only $15/€15 instead of the $40/€40 regular price.
