This photography course changed this photographer’s life…
“After more than 20 years of taking photos as a hobby, I decided that I wanted to know more about photography and finally leave “Auto-mode” behind me.
Should have done this much sooner: Chris explains everything in a simple manner but very thoroughly, and now; finally, all the puzzle pieces fall into place.
Great course, highly recommended.”

Have you ever told yourself or someone close to you… “the struggle is real. I look at other photos and say mine will never be that good.”
It doesn’t have to be that way. Your photos will drastically improve once you know the 4 core ingredients to create amazing images.
“What are the 4 ingredients, you ask”… equipment, light, composition + editing.
How can this photography masterclass help you “master” these ingredients and, most of all, help you create amazing images?
-
First, I (Chris Parker) have 33 years of experience as a professional photographer and 15 years of experience teaching others photography.
-
I’ll walk you through, step-by-step, each ingredient, so you fully understand each concept. Let’s review each ingredient and what you’ll learn.

“Chris Parker is amazing. He explains everything, so it’s crystal clear the first time, so you don’t have to keep replaying the lessons to figure out what he was talking about. I’ve been a photographer myself for over twenty years, and I feel that to stay fresh, it’s a good idea to take these “refresher” courses like Chris.
I highly recommend this course to anyone and everyone who is interested in photography.”
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
INGREDIENT 1: EQUIPMENT
It’s not the gear that you have that allows you to create great images… it’s knowing how to get the most out of what you have!
If you master Lighting and Composition, you’ll be able to create spectacular images whether you have a smartphone, a $500 DSLR, or a $10,000 Mirrorless camera.
But before you can master Lighting and Composition, you need to understand how your camera AND lenses work, their limitations, and more.

“I really liked the interactive camera demonstration indoors and outdoors. Makes it much easier to wrap your mind around the different settings when you can see it in real-time.”
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Start by mastering the camera gear you have. Then, move on to mastering…
INGREDIENT 2: LIGHT
Although this is the second ingredient… it’s actually the number one ingredient to master. Why should it be number one?
Well, without it, you wouldn’t be able to create an image. It’s like trying to create a photo with your lens cap on. How do you think that will work out?
With Light, you can tell a story by shaping the light based on your creative vision. Light can be soft or hard, and can even be of different colors.
Harnessing light is essential for creating amazing images. Once you complete the Light mastery section, you’ll understand…
-
The difference between soft and hard light and why you may want to use one over another
-
Where light comes from and why it’s important to your photography
-
How your camera sees light and its limitations
-
The 3 behaviors of light and how they can alter what you capture
-
How contrast can change the mood of your image
-
The 4 characteristics of light and how they can affect the quality of your images
-
And more

“I purchased my canon rebel nearly 10 years ago, and I had never attempted to play with the manual settings, this course truly helped me understand, and the images he actually uses and does as a walk-through truly helped the understanding quite a bit. I can’t wait to start playing around and testing what I have learned. Thank you!”
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
INGREDIENT 4: EDITING
Now that you’re impressing family and friends with your photography skills, one more thing will take you over the top… editing.
Photo Editing, in and of itself, is an art form. Master editing, and you’ll leave your mark on the world for generations to come. Yes, editing is that powerful.
Half the goal of editing is developing your own editing style. It won’t be easy… and will take some time.
I’ll guide you on your editing journey with several image manipulation apps that can help you achieve your creative vision. This will include introductory’s to…
-
Lightroom
-
Photoshop
-
GIMP
-
Darktable
-
And more
Plus, I’ve included a 4 step process for “developing” your editing style.

Robert Turner
Using plain simple language, Chris manages to make what is seemingly complicated understandable – I’ve been playing around with cameras for years and mostly been flying by the seat of my pants, I’m now starting to understand how I managed to jag those couple of really great shots, and now hopefully will be able to create even more ‘great shots’.

66Lens Numbers + Letters, & Markings, Oh My!
If photography wasn’t hard enough you practically have to be a detective to figure out all those numbers, letters, abbreviations, and other markings on a lens.
Seriously, you need an in-depth instruction guide to decipher all that information.
Where can you get an instructional guide like that? Hmmm, well, how about right here, right now.
You’re about to discover 15 different markings and what they mean. Plus, I have a bonus, which I believe is the most important of them all, that I’ll save for last.
Now, the question is, why is this information important?
Well, once you know what these markings mean you’ll know things like the quality of your lens, possibly its age, special features, which lenses to avoid, and more.
So, if you’re ready let’s get started.
