Paris, France
Paris, France
Do you dream of capturing incredible photos your friends will envy?
The truth is you can learn how to take amazing photos with any camera… even if you’ve never picked up a camera before.
Escape to Paris and learn the secrets of how to capture killer street photos in 2021 (when they let us in!)
Taking great photos is not about your equipment... it’s about your vision. And not your pixels.
Because here’s the thing; learning light, angle, composition, and timing will crush your photographic failures.
Photography is being a painter in a hurry.
Suddenly you’ll begin to see differently
You learn a new way to look at people, sunsets, and baby elephants.
It takes practice, guidance, and having all your questions answered from an expert.
And Paris is one of the best cities in the world to go on a Photo Safari, learning how to take incredible photos with fun people and exploring the secrets of this killer town.
When my Grandfather gave me my first camera on my 7th birthday, I practiced being invisible in my gigantic family.
I took candid photos that my siblings and parents didn’t even know I captured.
It taught me magical timing. And I’ll show you how to take elusive mysterious shots too.
How do you do it?
By empathizing with your subject even if they don’t know you’re photographing them.
What?
Yes it takes practice. How?
1. First you take a lot of bad photos.
2. You learn more from a bad photo than you do from an incredible one.
How do I know?
Because after photographing 724 weddings, wild rhinos, families, and the Dalai Lama you learn how.
This method boils it down fast and simplifies the learning process into one 3-day workshop.
Learn fast and leap up the learning curve with one on one mentoring.
Here’s what you get in your 3-Day premium one on one training in Paris:
You learn how to see the photo before you take it
You don’t need fancy software, a new camera, or Photoshop skills (I don’t use it)
You learn how to choose the right angle, compose a shot, see light before you shoot, and practice magical timing when taking photos of people and having fun doing it
In the one-on-one commentaries of your work, you’ll learn why some of your photos are amazing so you can keep doing those behaviors and...
You learn why other photos don’t work so you can eliminate doing those things
In fact you can correct problems as you shoot and not fumble with Photoshop later!
Why and how do your photos get better in only 3 days?
You aren’t in a huge classroom with a camel herd of people not able to ask questions freely.
It’s easier to learn with hands-on mentoring with a 36-year expert
And my 1349 private students have told me so.
