You can watch all the free YouTube videos you want, but this course made me finally understand how to shoot in manual mode. You can take the long road of free videos or pay the nominal price of this course and take off.
— Jeff A.

Are you tired of letting your camera dictate the shots? Ready to take control and capture images exactly the way you envision them? This self-paced online course is your gateway to unlocking the full potential of your camera and becoming a confident and creative photographer.

Are you frustrated that you don't understand ISO, aperture or shutter speed? How they work together? Maybe you're too slow and miss out on getting the shot you want? Or you get a good shot but you don't know how to replicate it?

I tried learning from books/youtube/school but my eyes would glaze over or I just couldn't follow. I thought I wasn't smart enough to learn the technical side of photography - until I broke it all down and simplified it.

In these 11 pre-recorded self-paced sessions you will learn how I taught myself - we will be in Kindergarten, starting from the very basics in an easy to follow and experiential way. You can complete the course and start shooting in manual mode in 1 day!

Exercises and a handout will be given.

A DSLR, Bridge or Mirrorless camera that has manual mode is recommended for this course.

"I finally can use my DSLR on manual! After decades of reading about f-stops and shutter speed, I was still unable to use my camera to its full potential. It took just one class with Mindy for me to finally internalize the functions. She is a marvel!!" - Pam

"The Best Possible Introduction For Newbie Photographers! I needed to cram as much as humanly possible into one class to prepare for a new job, and was seeking a teacher who made that possible. Mindy’s reviews suggested she was ‘the one,’ and that she was. Typically technical concepts were simplified into easy to digest knowledge, and her passion for photography shines. I walked away from just one class feeling incredibly inspired, and very confident with the manual settings on my camera. Shooting in auto is a thing of the past, and my client is incredibly happy with my 'fast' photography skills. I couldn’t recommend Mindy more highly." - Julia
