On this page you’ll find out how I learned to capture such unique photos… And how you too
can start taking stunning photos in just a few short days from now!
You see, I’m just a regular guy
I wasn’t always teaching high-end photography workshops all around the world…
I didn’t always have high-profile clients fly me out to do their advertising photography…
I certainly didn’t understand ISO, shutter speed, aperture and f-stops when I got started.
So if you’re struggling with the technical aspects of your camera, you’re definitely not alone.
And frankly, it’s not your fault. Camera manuals are so complicated that it seems like they’re written in Chinese. And there’s nobody to show you how to correctly use your camera.
In fact, pretty much all students who come to my photography workshops don’t have the confidence to take their camera off Auto… Which is why they only get average photos.
So, in many ways, I’m just like you. But here’s what’s different about my story…
I was literally forced to learn photography
Flashback to 1998, I was fresh out of college desperately searching for a job…
If you’ve ever been unemployed with no money for rent, you’ll understand exactly where I was at that point in my life. I was desperately looking for any job that would pay the bills.
And that’s when a friend told me about a job opening in the movie industry. They were looking for a photographer who would shoot still photos of movie actors to use for movie posters.
And since it was the movie industry, the salary was surprisingly high. So I took the job.
But there was only one problem…
I wasn’t actually a photographer. In fact, I didn’t even understand how to use a camera.
And as you probably suspect, pretty much all my early photos were a huge disappointment.
They were either too dark or too bright… And the subjects were often blurry or out of focus.
And to make things worse, back then I could only work with film cameras. So I couldn’t even look at my photos (and correct my mistakes) until the film was developed hours later.
But I had to make it work. I was newly married, and getting fired wasn’t an option.
I took the insider secrets the pros were using on movie sets... and applied them to my photos
Besides working with celebrities, the best thing about the movie industry was that I could learn from people who were far more experienced than I was. Thankfully, my colleagues working with enormous movie cameras costing and more actually knew what they were doing.
While shooting movies is different from taking photos, all cameras are fundamentally the same.
And so I kept bothering my coworkers with an endless stream of technical questions…
-
How can I take a clear photo in low light, even if my subjects are moving?
-
Why are the highlights too bright, while the rest of the photo is too dark?
-
How to set focus accurately when the subjects are constantly moving?
Luckily, they didn’t mind sharing the insider secrets that very few people in the world have access to. And that’s how I discovered the techniques I still use in my photos today…
The pros showed me simple camera hacks that anyone can use to get the settings right
These hacks are so effective that they take all the guesswork out of your camera.
You can use them to quickly choose the right settings for any camera, in any situation.
Rather than figuring it all out on your own, these simple hacks tell you exactly what to do.
And it will only take you a couple of seconds to get the settings right and take a perfect photo.
When I teach these simple hacks in my photography workshops, my students walk away with clear, practical guidelines they can use to finally get off the Auto mode once and for all.
So with this newfound wisdom, I was ready to take my photography career to the next level.
But now that camera settings were no longer an issue, I realized something else…
The content of your photos is even more important than camera settings
Get the settings wrong, and you’ll end up with blurry photos that you can’t use.
Get the settings right, and you’ll get sharp photos that are still not guaranteed to work.
If you go through your photo library, you’ll probably find hundreds of tack sharp photos you don’t feel proud about. That’s because what’s in your photos makes all the difference.
I had mastered the camera settings, but the creative side of my photography was still lacking.
And as a stubborn young man, I didn’t seek help from more experienced photographers.
After all, as a professional photographer I was supposed to have all the answers.
So here I was, taking tack sharp photos that were quite good but not great…
I spent the next 10 years trying to understand what makes the best photos so great
The pros had taught me the technical aspects of using my camera, but I was on my own as I was trying to further improve my photos. Learning through trial and error was painful and slow.
For about 10 years I desperately reviewed all the best photos I found in magazines, books and art galleries as I was trying to understand the underlying principles that made them work.
Whenever I found a photo I really liked, I always tried to understand what made it so special.
And over time I started noticing what the best photos had in common, even when their subject matter was totally different. I then tried applying these ideas to my own photos.
And my photos were slowly getting better as I kept decoding the secrets used by the pros.
Now, here’s the good news…
You too can become an excellent photographer not too long from now. Even if you think you’ve tried everything, you can experience huge improvements in next to no time because…
There are specific techniques that all great photographers use in their photos
And anyone can become a great photographer by applying these techniques.
I know this because when I discovered the exact techniques that the pros were using and started applying them to my own photos, my photography was never the same again…
Taking photos was no longer frustrating. I no longer had to guess how a particular photo would work out. That’s because I knew exactly what to do to make my photos stunning.
And my career as a photographer exploded almost overnight. I went from working with local clients in New Brunswick, Canada to working for large companies all around the world.
High-profile clients started hiring me for photo shoots in exotic countries such as Venezuela, China, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, India, Japan, Italy and Spain.
And all of it happened because I started using the exact techniques the pros were using.
You don’t need any special talent to take outstanding photos
You might be thinking that you can’t take great photos because you’re not talented…
And honestly, I’m not surprised to hear that. That’s exactly how I felt when I was struggling.
I used to think that the best photographers are naturally talented, and that I would never be as good as they are because I don’t have any artistic talent in me.
And indeed, some people are born with an eye for taking stunning photos.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of them.
But when I started using the techniques the pros were using in their photos, everyone started telling me that I was a talented photographer… Which is something I’d never heard before.
My friends started approaching me for photography advice, and I tried to help them as much as I could. I’d struggled with photography for years, so I was happy to help them out.
I shared the techniques I’d discovered through 10 years of trial and error. And everyone who used these techniques saw huge improvements to their photography almost overnight.
That’s how over time I developed a reputation as a photography guru. And then…
I started teaching high-end photography workshops all around the world
These week-long workshops cost between and and I’ve hosted them in different countries such as Mexico, Japan, Hungary, Romania, South Korea, Canada and the UK.
Now, here’s the embarrassing part…
When my students arrive at my workshops on Monday, their cameras are almost always on Auto mode. These students are often older than me, and they’re definitely not technical…
But when we review their photos at the end of Sunday, the transformation is unbelievable!
Not only are they off the Auto mode once and for all…
They’re also taking outstanding photos I’d be proud to deliver to my high-paying clients!
With my help they get there in a week… While I had to spend 10 years figuring it out through trial and error.
I’ve made every possible mistake and discovered every photography trick out there. So I know exactly what works and what doesn’t… And that’s how I can shortcut their learning by years.
While my workshops are expensive, they usually sell out at least 6 months in advance.
Now, at this point you’re probably wondering…
How you too can start taking stunning photos
And for a long time I didn’t have an easy answer for people like you.
You could try learning from the pros in the movie industry, spend years trying to figure things out on your own through trial and error, and analyze thousands of photos in magazines…
That’s exactly what I did… And 10 years later I finally had it all figured out.
But it’s so much faster (and smarter) to learn from someone who’s done it all before.
Now, you could travel to Japan or Mexico to attend one of my photography workshops…
But of course, not everyone can spend thousands of on tuition and airfare, drop everything they’re doing for a week, and fly to an exotic location to learn photography.
I certainly didn’t have that kind of money when I was starting out.
But I still remember how hard it was to learn everything… And how I could have saved 10 years of trial and error if there was someone who showed me all the pro techniques.
So I wanted to create an easier option for people who want to improve their photography in a fraction of the time I had to spend… And who don’t want to invest thousands of .
And that’s why I created something absolutely unique…
Introducing
Digital Camera Mastery
Digital Camera Mastery is an online course that will get you off the Auto mode once and for all so that you can take outstanding photos that leave your friends and family speechless.
I’ve taken all the practical shortcuts and hacks I’ve discovered during my 20-year career as a professional photographer… And packaged them into this quick-to-complete online course.
It really is that simple… Watch my short step-by-step videos, start using the techniques you’ll discover, and in just a few short days from now you too will be an excellent photographer.
I wish I had access to this when I got started. It would have saved me 10 years of struggle!
Just imagine:
And you’ll experience all of this after just a few days of taking my course!
You’ll be taking outstanding photos with the camera that you already have
You’re probably thinking you’ll need to invest thousands of in equipment in order to take outstanding photos… And that’s exactly what camera manufacturers want you to think.
The photography industry makes BILLIONS of by making you believe that you need the latest photography gear to take great photos, while nothing could be further from the truth.
Very few people will tell you this, but buying an expensive camera won’t make you a better photographer… Just like buying an expensive pen won’t make you a better writer.
In fact, the only guaranteed way to improve your photos is to learn how to control the camera that you already have. And that’s exactly what you’re going to get when you sign up today.
Now, if you’re like most of my students, you have tried to master your digital camera before.
And you probably got frustrated because at some point the technical details were just too difficult to understand. It happens all the time, and it’s not really your fault because…
Most photography training is about as simple as learning mandarin chinese
If you’ve tried to understand your camera before, you know exactly what I mean…
Most photography books, camera manuals and even online courses use complex terminology as if you were supposed to know it all before. No wonder it’s so hard to learn photography…
But in my course I don’t assume any prior knowledge, and all technical terms are explained in plain English. So even if you’re starting from scratch, you won’t feel left out in this course.
By focusing on one concept at a time, seeing a ton of really clear examples, and doing quick projects that help you internalize these ideas… You too will finally get photography.
It’s highly unlikely that you’ll ever get stuck… But just in case you do, you can watch the same video again, and we’ll quickly answer any questions about the things you didn’t understand.
Your camera isn’t rocket science when it’s explained using everyday language!
A self-paced course that fits your schedule
Now, it may seem like you need to free up weeks or months of your time for this course. And indeed, that’s what you’d have to do if you were to take an in-person photography course.
But I know how busy life gets, so I created this course with busy schedules in mind. All lessons are prerecorded and they’re available online. There’s no need to show up at a particular time.
You can complete the course in 7 days, 7 weeks or 7 months. You’ll keep lifetime access to everything, so you can always take a break and come back later when you have more time.

-
Guidelines for balancing tripod weight and stability depending on the camera that you have
-
The 9 types of lenses you’ll find on the market, and who should buy each (of course, even the pros don’t need 9 lenses, so you’ll be able to choose the right ones for your needs)
-
The difference between UV, Polarizing and ND filters, and what they can do to your photos
-

I’m talking about organizing, storing and backing up tens of thousands of beautiful photos.

Don’t lose your most precious memories
I want you to imagine…
Moments like these are what makes life worth living. But unless you can reliably capture such moments with your camera, you’ll have to rely on your memory to preserve them.
And from my experience I can tell you that over the years your memories get less and less detailed… Important details start to fade… And in the end they’re completely forgotten.
If you really care about your family, you’d do almost anything to keep these memories…
And mastering photography is the only guaranteed way to keep them forever.
Photograph your children or grandchildren before they grow up
It’s time to decide: you have 2 options
And the choice you make today will affect you and your family for the rest of your life.
Option #1:
You can ignore everything you’ve read here and continue shooting in Auto mode forever. You’ll probably never see this page again, and your life will go on just like before:
Or…
Option #2: You can try Digital Camera Mastery for 30 days without any risk. Just watch my videos, use my photography techniques, and after just a few days you too will start:
But most importantly, you’ll be able to preserve your precious memories for years to come.
And your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will definitely appreciate that.
But all of this will only happen if you sign up for Digital Camera Mastery right now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter what type of camera I have?
Even though they look different, all digital cameras work the same way. That’s why you’ll be able to follow the tutorials using the equipment that you already have at home.
My course works for both DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. Throughout the course I’ll show you how to access all the important settings on Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji and other cameras.
You’ll be able to participate in my course even if you bought your camera 10 years ago!
Who are you and why should I listen to you?
I’m an internationally recognized professional photographer and photography teacher.
When I first started my career in the late 1990’s, I mostly worked on feature films as a stills and location photographer. Later I broadened my experience and did international jobs with Lonely Planet Guidebooks. I travelled around Asia and Eastern Europe taking photos for them.
In 2000, I moved to Japan to specialize in advertising photography. The year I spent in Japan was pivotal in shaping my lighting style and how I approach the aesthetics of photography.
I’ve been hosting photography workshops in different parts of the world since 2005. And my online courses have already helped 6,133 students take stunning high-quality photos.
What is the format of the course?
This course contains 6 modules (and 2 bonus modules). Each module contains between 45 and 90 minutes of online video lessons that you can watch at any time that’s convenient.
The lessons are relatively short (about 10 to 15 minutes), which is perfect for busy students.
Where relevant, the video lessons show how to access different settings on different camera models to make sure you don’t get stuck regardless of the type of camera that you use.
And in case you ever get stuck, you can ask any questions under each video, which will be promptly answered by either me or one of my team members.
Do I have to show up at a particular place or a particular time?
No. The entire course happens online, so you can take it anywhere in the world. All lessons are pre-recorded (and you’ll get lifetime access to everything) so you can watch them at any time.
Of course, you can also watch the videos on your smartphone or tablet. That means you can go through the videos (and apply the things you learn) when you are out with your camera.

You can spend as much or as little time as you want. You’ll get lifetime access to all course materials, so there is no need to complete the course within a certain time period.
You can follow the course at your own pace and always come back to the videos later when you want to revisit the material or work on improving certain aspects of your photography.

You’ll keep lifetime access to all course material. That means you can always review the material in the future. And you’ll have plenty of time to catch up in case you fall behind. You’ll of course also stay in my private online community.
