I’m looking for 4 people who want to learn how to use their cameras and learn the foundational principles of great photography and videography.

If you don’t have your own camera I have a few you can borrow.

Also, bring your iPhone/Android because I am going to show you my favourite tricks to taking better smartphone photos and videos too.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

• 3-hour interactive workshop (not just theory!)

• Time to implement the lessons in real life (mini shoots)

• Watch me take portraits and ask questions

• BONUS: I will do a quick mini-shoot with each student

• Keep the photos I take of you (FULL HD)

• $100 voucher to book me for a photoshoot

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to find the best light in any location

• How to get the best quality image possible with your camera

• Understanding the basics (aperture, shutter, ISO, autofocus)

• The science and psychology of camera angles and heights

• How to pick the best locations for your photos

• How to make your subjects feel comfortable

• How to look confident as both a photographer and model

DATE: Friday, Dec 16th
TIME: 12pm to 3pm
LOCATION: Toronto (Etobicoke)

The solution I share in today’s video is so simple that you could start using it right now.

After taking over 700,000 photos of humans I know that the most interesting photos are almost never at the beginning.

👉🏽 The beginning is only for warming up.

In fact, most people quit right as something interesting is about to happen. This is true in photography, in taking selfies, and also true in many other aspects of life.

This principle makes sense on paper, but for some reason most people won’t put it into practice. Instead, they expect the first selfie they take to be a HOME RUN. That’s just not realistic.

Plus, if you expect this you’ll hate taking selfies altogether. Not because you’re unphotogenic, but because you hold yourself to an impossible standard that no professional model, actor or content creator would ever holds themselves too.

And remember that—just like everything else in life—taking selfies gets easier the more you do it. Those first few will likely be the most challenging to look at, but if you keep going I promise it gets way easier.

Happy shooting.

Big love,
