About This Course

Do you want to master the basics of photography so that you can take stunning photos in any situation?

If you don’t know which settings to use, you will often miss capturing beautiful moments. And it’s heartbreaking to let these memories slip away.

But cameras are complicated. There are so many advanced features, it’s hard to know where to start.

That was my experience when I started learning photography. I used to carry my camera manual every time I went out to shoot.

But after more than 15 years of practice… I’ve developed a simple method for taking great photos.

And over the past decade of running ExpertPhotography… I’ve shared it with tens of thousands of photographers who are now taking photos like these:

I’ve put all my knowledge into a simple 40+ video course called “Photography for Beginners”. It covers:

  • The exact process I use to set up my camera, regardless of what I’m shooting
  • How to select the perfect exposure for any and every scene
  • 10 composition rules that will make your photos more striking

This process has helped countless students become photographers. They’re now able to find the right camera settings without a moment’s thought.

This is the fastest and most effective way to master the basics of photography. It covers the exact approach I take every time I shoot.

Without this training, you’ll miss meaningful moments while you fiddle with your camera… trying to find the right settings.

Master your camera today and capture memories that will last a lifetime!

Reviews

  1. Yvette Belanger
    I just finished a photography course at a local community college, and I have to say that because of the knowledge I gained from Josh’s course, Photography for Beginners, I felt I could have taught the class more effectively on the basics of aperture, shutter speed and ISO! I will definitely refer Expert Photography to anyone who is interested in photography!
  2. Ken E
    Basic information very well presented. I find learning this way to be much better than reading a camera manual. Josh’s presentation brings it all together in one fluid explanation which, for me, is much easier to absorb and remember. Thank you for a job well done.

    I learned more about my DSLR in the few hours it took me to go through the course than I had in the last 10 years. I used to shoot on auto ALL the time. After finishing this course I will likely never use that option again. I found the simplicity with which Josh explained everything most helpful - clear and concise.
