Matthew Davies
The manual can teach you what the buttons on the camera do. But here, you’ll understand how to use your camera to its fullest potential…and make better images! Matthew teaches photography as an art, and you’ll learn the six components of visual design. More than that, you’ll see how to apply those six design elements to improve the images that you create. Then, get ready to dive deep into the “why” of exposure, and learn to use the camera’s settings to your creative advantage. The result? Better images for both personal enjoyment and better image sales!

So, you’ve decided that you want to be a portrait photographer and start your own business. Or perhaps you already operate a studio out of your home, but want to be inspired and challenged to grow your business. Wondering how to take the next step? This class is designed with you in mind.
Wendy and Heather are two passionate, Certified Professional Photographers who were once in your shoes. Now, they are happily managing their own portrait businesses right out of their homes!

They’ll share what worked for them in developing, maintaining and growing a successful home studio (as well as a few things that didn’t work).
