    The custom method you’ll be learning is simple and it’s scientifically proven to work. We worked together over here at LPS headquarters to devise a simple method for beginners using real world learning techniques that will help you take your photography to the next level.

    This beginner level bootcamp is oriented towards BEGINNERS and for that reason I kept it simple in this course.

    “The Manual Photography for Beginners Mini-Bootcamp was just what I needed to clear out the confusion that was in my head around camera settings. Before I took the class I was constantly making mistakes in how I adjusted my camera’s exposure. Now I’m confidently getting the shots that used to torment me and made me afraid to go out and take pictures. “
