The course consists of six modules delivered over six weeks. (This is to give you time to practice what you're learning, in actionable steps). You will receive an email each week with the link to the lessons. The module lessons take about 30 minutes to watch in total, and each lesson is between 3-10 minutes long. After watching the lessons, I recommend that you take 30+ minutes to practice and implement what you learned in the lesson by completing the assignment for each week. The entire commitment will be at least one hour a week although you're welcome to do more! The more you shoot, the better you'll get!

Nope, don't worry!  You can participate in this course with just the camera you have on your phone. I will even give you gear suggestions and recommend what you may want to buy moving forward if you choose to invest in camera gear after this course. In Week Four, I teach how to take control of your camera. These are most easily adjusted on a DSLR or mirrorless camera, however if you only have a camera phone, you can use most of these controls using an app on your camera.

If you do have dreams of being a photographer, great! But even if you don't, this course will be useful to you because it will train you how to think creatively, and how to see the world from a different perspective. When you strengthen your "creativity muscle" through photography, it will spill over to other areas of your life and you will see positive change there as well. Maybe you'll find a creative solution to that problem at work, or maybe you'll learn to slow down and notice life around you. You'll be able to take beautiful portraits of your loved ones and freeze moments in time. There are so many benefits to learning photography!

Don't worry about this course being too advanced for you. I designed it for aspiring photographers who don't know anything technical yet, or for beginning/enthusiast photographers who are looking to uplevel their hobby and learn to take control of their camera.

It's true you can learn so much on the internet by looking it up yourself. But it's time consuming to do that, and you may end up more confused since it's difficult to know where to start. I have walked this path ahead of you. I've cut out all of the unnecessary technical details, and have focused on simple techniques and teaching that leaves you feeling empowered to know exactly what to do, instead of confused and overwhelmed. In addition, I offer personal support and feedback myself. I will also give you an invitation to join an online community of other students who are working through the modules together with you. You will have the option to choose an accountability parter within the course group. The other benefit of the "Photography + Life" course is that it's full of life-application. I'm not aware of any other photography course available that is doing this. To me, it's such a natural connection for photography skills and creativity to flow over into "real life." It's what makes me so passionate about this course! (See the next FAQ to see how I teach this).

No problem! You can let me know if you'd like an accountability partner and I can match you up with someone else. You can also use your extra coupon code to sponsor a student to do the course. I run a non-profit in Fiji and I know several people that would love to participate!

Yes! You can receive a full refund anytime within the first two weeks if you feel like this course is not a fit for you. But I know you'll love it. I've designed this to inspire, uplift and education in a simple and easy to understand way. If you're looking very scientific/mathematical/technical training or advanced photography training, this isn't the course for you.

With this course, you will get out as much as you put in. Each week there will be optional assignments including both photography skills and life application. Each week of the course, you will be able to submit your photos and questions directly to me for critique. If you desire, you may also post your photos or questions online in the community group. Through the online community, you can also find an accountability group or partner. If you just want to do this course via independent study (on your own), that's absolutely fine, but you will have a richer experience and grow more quickly in your photography if you participate in the community, find an accountability partner, and submit photos for critique.
