How to Get Started (Even If You're New to Night Photography)
While this course includes 3 hours of in-depth content, we make it easy to take your first stunning Milky Way photo.
We've broken down this comprehensive subject into bite-sized, actionable lessons that build on each other.
Each module includes:
-
Clear, jargon-free video tutorials
-
Real-world demonstrations (both in the studio, and the field)
-
The exact camera settings we use (and you can copy)
-
Troubleshooting tips for common challenges
Once you know how to setup your camera, and you know how to find the stars... you have everything you need to start shooting.
Then once you're starting to feel more confident, you can experiment with foreground lighting.
Whether you're planning your first Milky Way shoot or looking to enhance your existing night photography skills, you'll find exactly what you need to succeed - without getting overwhelmed.
"But Josh, I Live in a Light Polluted Area..."
Some of my best Milky Way shots have been just outside of major towns and cities. I love them because they add context to the scene.
While it's true that you can't see the Milky Way in downtown Manhattan, you don't need to travel far to get these shots.
The truth is, dark spots exist in almost every area - you just need to know how to find them.
That's why we've dedicated an entire section of the course to help you:
-
Find the darkest skies near your location
-
Plan your shoots for optimal conditions
-
Use camera settings that cut through light pollution
-
Process your images to make stars pop (even in less-than-ideal conditions)
Check out this photo... I captured it just outside a major city, in an area with a yellow light pollution warning. As you can see, the Milky Way still shines through in all its glory:
The secret isn't location - it's knowing how to work with what you have.
With the right planning tools and techniques (which we provide), you can capture stunning night sky photos from places you'd never expect. Our students regularly get amazing results from suburban areas and city outskirts.

The training was fantastic. What impressed me most was the way it was taught for beginners like me. Too many times I have purchased courses for beginners and found that it was more for the intermediate photographer. This was very supportive as it taught what to do first and in easy to follow and remember steps. I did take a lot of notes for future reference which helped me as I practiced what I learned. Great job. Well worth my time.
I always wanted to take photos of the milky way. I read books on the subject as well as watching countless youtube videos. The photos never seem to come out. I thought it was just me and that I would just have to keep my camera on auto mode until I found this course. Everything is explained brilliantly and having videos showing you exactly how to do things is very helpful. I now have the confidence to use manual mode and to use my camera properly all thanks to this course.

I used the Milky Way Mastery course to learn on my own this time! I can tell you it is very well presented, easy to follow and understand. It has given me the knowledge and confidence I need to get out there and shoot without someone holding my hand LOL!
I want to thank you for your course, and for encouraging people to get out there and try. Like you say, it's really easier than you would think. The main thing is finding dark sky, especially at the horizon, and a clear night. Then with some patience and experimentation you can capture the Milky Way, and amaze your friends :-)

My fear was whether I would be able to follow the instructions at who-knows-what-time of the morning. My favourite part was when I was in the Baja at a whale watching adventure. The first night out all I saw was some clouds - later informed that was the Milky Way. The second night all went according your instruction...all the settings, etc. After that, all was good. I don't think I would have captured the moment without this instruction. The recommendations are great, concise and to the point.
