This photography course is NOT going to teach you how to use your camera. You should already know what things like aperture, shutter speed and ISO are. You should know how to compose & expose your photo properly. You should also know how to do basic photo editing. The application doesn't matter (Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, your favorite smartphone editing app).
This photography course WILL teach you practical and easy steps to improving your photography. We start with photography lighting, then photography composition, then storytelling, and end on photo editing. In each section we showcase dozens of practical and easy-to-replicate ways to take better photos.

A great collection of tips for advancing your photography in many different areas. I learned a lot and know now on what to focus going forward with my photography journey. Thanks Will for the course!
By Irene Haaima on 1/11/2024
It was a good course but much shorter than expected. I also thought there would be a bit more review of photos and hands on experience like live recordings of a shoot for example rather than only lecture style course. I do like Will's way of explaining and talking.
By Gianluca Merlo on 1/2/2024
Will possesses a profound comprehension of photography, delving not only into its technical intricacies but also appreciating the elements that elevate it to an art form. The course mirrors a dialogue within a virtual photography club led by a highly knowledgeable expert, with every word rooted in over a decade of experience. This content holds value for both novices and seasoned photographers alike. Recommended!

I enjoy his enthusiasm and his direct presentation and his high energy.
By VERONICA Verona Francardo on 12/30/2023
I love this course because it makes me see things from another perspective. I already got so many new ideas! This course is definitely suggested for all photographers that want to boost their creativity, but also for all the already creative ones always in search for new ideas and points of view. The course is very well structured and explained, and covers different types of photography (street, heads hots, family portraits etc). 5 stars, for sure!
