Avoid Wasted opportunities and a hard drive with underwhelming, mediocre images
What you saw during your trip was amazing. What you've captured doesn't come close. No point lying to yourself. Hard earned cash spent and most chances are gone forever. This is FRUSTRATING.
“Repeat this mistake and you’re guaranteed wasted opportunities and mediocre photos.”
Familiar feeling. I’ve been there. Learned the hard way – through trial and error. My mistake. But I didn't have the resources that are available now. Repeat this mistake and you’re guaranteed wasted opportunities and mediocre photos. My journeys were still enjoyable, but I’d be lying if I said that I don’t regret those wasted opportunities. The whole point of this educational resource is to give you the tools, so that you don't regret anything. NO EXCUSES.

BETTER THAN A WORKSHOP FOR LESS
Photography workshops are EXPENSIVE. The costs are from USD $2,500 - USD $10,000. But, here's the truth. Despite what you pay, getting total access to a serious, pro photographer is very uncommon. Anyone who's been on a workshop can tell you. It’s also rare that a photographer will show you all their images. Even more rare is getting in-depth explanations behind all their creative decisions.
You can spend thousands, but the educational value of a workshop doesn’t compare to a resource like this.
I'm not anti-workshop, but let's say you are going to spend all that money. Wouldn’t it make sense to be as prepared as possible? Imagine your next photo trip. Now imagine you're armed with actionable knowledge. You come back with photos that make you happy. And if you weren't prepared? You've got no images to be proud of. All that money you spent. It's like you flushed it down the toilet.
Why listen to me?
Besides the winning images here, dozens of magazines have published my work. From Nat Geo Traveler to Vanity Fair. Prints of my photos hang in embassies and in museums. I'm also a Panasonic Lumix Ambassador. I won't go on. Not one to toot my own horn. Not the point here.
The point is, you'll be learning from a photographer with a proven track-record in making powerful images. I don't only know how to teach photography. It makes a world of difference. You can have the confidence that what I'm teaching you works.
Of course, even the best photographers can be bad teachers. You should make sure that this isn't the case here. I encourage you to read the testimonials about this educational resource down the page.
an eye-opening experience
That’s how photographer friends described traveling with me and seeing how I work. I realised something from this feedback. They're serious about their photography. If they got so much out of seeing how I work, others who are serious about improving can benefit a whole lot too.
A rare behind the scenes look where nothing is held back
After I won in the Travel Photographer Of The Year competition things clicked. Those winning photos proved to be successful. They were also published in Geographical UK magazine. Using these images I've created the closest thing to a blueprint. A blueprint to making photos worthy of awards and publications. I’ve included EVERYTHING – my entire creative process. How did I choose the best photos from each shoot? What did I do to make the most of them in post-processing? It’s a rare behind the scenes look. I'm not holding anything back.

A blueprint to creating powerful photographs? Finally–an educational resource that goes beyond the f-stops, compositional rules and gear
You love photography. It’s your passion. You want to be good, even great at it. But those special photos remain elusive. That's why you’re here.
There are now more ways to learn than ever but...
Most content online is created by photo educators who don't have much credibility as photographers. They can't teach what they don't know – how to create compelling photographs. If you've heard one – you've pretty much heard them all. "Shoot during the golden hour. This is what the aperture and the shutter speed do. Here are the rules of composition and here's how to make your images pop." You've likely been learning recycled information in different packages.

An immersive experience
It’s proven that you absorb information better when you engage more of your senses. An entire soundtrack accompanies the videos. As you view the images I made, you’ll also hear the sounds that I heard. It’s almost like you’re there with me in the field. There’s music to set the ambience too. Turn up the volume and check out the above video fragments to see and hear what I’m talking about.
additional examples
In the videos I'll share many concepts I learned by making and analysing photos. Composing with diagonal lines, or in layers. Creative use of light. The smaller nuances too, like shooting on eye level with the action. I’ll show you the images that helped me — and will help you — understand these concepts in greater depth.
Stories and tips
Over a decade in the field has taught me many valuable lessons. I’ve compacted some of them into short and accessible video anecdotes. These are tips that will help you avoid mistakes. They'll also give you the confidence to try something new. Click the video segment above. I talk about what being curious like a child can lead to, as far photography goes.

What is the Photographic Process?
The Photographic Process is the educational platform that I've created to go along with my personal website. It's a better way to deliver you educational material in one place online.
After this course I have found myself looking at my photographic subjects in an entirely different perspective. I would not hesitate to say that you could quite easily change the title to "HIDDEN WITHIN The Scenes" as I am now discovering the potential of elements hidden within plain view in my compositions which breathe life into my images by simply drawing them from near obscurity and using them to frame/accentuate my primary subject.
Time is my biggest enemy and, now that I have had a taste of the fruits that can be borne through composing a shot utilizing elements within the complete 'story', I will be managing my priorities to ride this breathtaking wave of realization on a more regular basis. Thanks heaps and I look forward to each and every one of your future guides.
