Take the 7-Day Creative Photography Challenge
Start Shooting Better Photos Today
Some top photographers say they compose by “feel.” However, this isn't quite accurate.
What they're really doing is using specific methods and ideas that have worked for them in the past.
In other words, they're digging into their "creative bag of tricks," and using any number of tried and true techniques to assemble their shots.
The more techniques you have in your creative bag of tricks, the more tools you have to add style and variation to your images. You’ll be able to quickly gauge a scene and pull out the ones that “feels right” for that particular subject and create a more compelling photography.
That's where my free 7-day Creative Photography Challenge comes in. In my bite-sized e-course, I’ll give you 7, highly effective compositional tips that you can apply to your own subject matter. They work on any subject, no matter what you like to shoot.
These are tips and techniques I've collected through 20 years of experience as a professional outdoor photographer; techniques I've used on commercial assignments, stock shoots, and when I'm out photographing my own adventures.


What You'll Get...
A WEEK OF CONCISE LESSONS
You'll get 7 concise lessons - one lesson each day for a week. Just enough to give your creative mojo a kick in the seat of the pants. Short, sweet and manageable.
CREATIVE TIPS YOU CAN -- USE WITH ANY SUBJECT
You'll get a handful of easy-to-digest compositional tips that you can apply to your own subject matter, no matter what you like to shoot. These methods work with landscapes, travel, portraits, action, adventure, sports, street photography, etc...
CREATIVE EXERCISES THAT GET YOU OUT SHOOTING
At the end of each lesson, I'll challenge you to go out and try them yourself. In the end, it's really just a not-so-clever excuse to make you pick it up your camera and shoot more photos, at least for the 7 days of this creative challenge, but I ask you, is that a bad thing?
FREE TIPS AND INSIGHT FROM A 20-YEAR PRO PHOTOGRAPHER
These are techniques I've learned and refined during my 20-years as a pro. Most of the photos I've had published have been created with at least one of these methods. In fact, I would venture to say that these creative methods have driven my career and my style during the past two decades.
