"The lessons were easy to understand, in such a short time. I have gained so much confidence to go and create some good shots that I could have only dreamed of doing before. As someone who knew absolutely nothing about my camera prior to the lessons, I can say I finally get it!"
Tony Bain
Have you ever had a beautiful moment slip away as you were too busy trying to find the right camera settings?
Full auto mode will never do your scene justice.
But using manual mode to capture perfect photos under time constraints is a recipe for disaster.
That was my experience before I mastered my camera. It would never capture what I could see in front of me. I was positive I needed better gear.
But what if I told you that there's a fun and easy way to master photography, regardless of the camera you use?
And that you can capture breathtaking photography, with nothing more than the most basic gear.

You don’t need a $5,000 camera and lens and you don’t need expensive training.
And I’m going to prove it to you.
Take a look at this…
I took this picture using a camera and lens which cost over $5,000.00 (Canon 5D mk IV & 24-70 f/2.8L mk II). As you can see, it’s a great picture, but that’s not because of the camera.
Now look at this… I took this picture just a few seconds later, using a brand new camera which cost just $350 (Canon Rebel T6 & kit lens)…

Ever since I started ExpertPhotography in April 2011, I've been on a mission.
To demystify cameras and bring stunning photography to the masses.
Because I know what it's like to miss precious moments. Fumbling with my camera... struggling with the focus.
I had no choice but to learn photography the hard way. Trial and error, while reading my rather useless camera manual.
(We've all been there, right?)
Over the past decade, my team and I have produced thousands of blog posts, several ebooks, and many courses.
And everything has been working up to this...
"Photography for Beginners" is a High Definition video course on the art of photography. It shows you how to capture magazine-quality images without being a pro photographer and without fancy equipment.
We don’t fuss about the gear you have or even recommend you buy more of it. The “secret” to exceptional photography is how you use it.
Which is why throughout this course, you’ll see me shooting with the Canon EOS Rebel T6 (AKA the 1300D), the cheapest dSLR I could find.
I will show you my process for using cheap gear to capture professional shots.
Pictures like this...
Some of the skills you’re going to gain include:
The exact process I use 98% of the time to set up my camera, regardless of what I’m shooting
How to select the perfect exposure for any and every scene
Why most focus fall flat… and how to make yours crisp and sharp
The do’s and don’ts of white balance and colour
And much, much more...
Filmed on location in Greece, you’ll be able to follow along as we capture everything from the ordinary, to the extraordinary.
Even if you struggled in school… or aren’t the greatest at grasping new skills… you’re going to be shocked by how easy it feels to absorb this information.
Although I’ve taught a beginner photography course before, this is completely new material, revised and refreshed with incredible production value.
Right now, you’re one step away from photography expertise. These skills are transferable to almost every style of photography you try your hand at.
And you’ll have more mastery over your camera than ever before.
Once you understand how a few of your camera’s features work, everything else falls into place very quickly.
I used to throw thousands of dollars into fancy camera equipment, in the hopes it would improve my photography.
I was forever missing shots because I was too busy fiddling with my camera. People get impatient; moments pass.
No one ever wanted to wait for me to find the right settings… I usually ended up sticking it back on auto mode and taking the shot.
My photography suffered, my progress slowed, and I was very embarrassed to have all this gear, and nothing to show for it.
But, after many months, I mastered my camera. I developed a process for taking photos that has produced the wonderful shots I’m proud to show off today.
It doesn’t matter if you’re shooting with a DSLR, Mirrorless, or Bridge camera… the process is the same, regardless of what you’re shooting.
1. You don’t need top of the line gear
2. Blurry photos were down to me, not my lens
3. Choosing the right settings can be easy
My expensive gear used to sit on the shelf, collecting dust.
But after understanding just a few features of my camera, my knowledge snowballed, and I was taking beautiful photos in no time at all.
Picture this.
Before you leave your house, you already know the camera settings you’re going to use, and your camera is set up and ready to go.
You arrive at the location without a single worry about exposure, white balance, or focus... everything falls into place.
You take photos without a second thought.
Less than a minute later, you've captured a photo so exciting, you won't stop shooting until all of your batteries are dead.
15 minutes later you're playing with different compositions to make your photos more striking.
When you're done, you have a selection of the most breathtaking… crystal clear… and exciting photographs you’ve ever taken.
Sound far-fetched? That’s what I thought too.
But my simple system has enabled me to take the most stunning photos of my life.
Photography comes naturally to me, and I’m confident I can capture beautiful photos in any location.
There are no shortcuts to experience. But learning how to use your camera, and the fundamentals of photography composition… that can be done in an afternoon.
The best part about manual mode is you can do much more with it than 95% of photographers realise.
There is so much control at your fingertips, and it’s so fast and easy to make adjustments, you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.
You can take much, much better pictures than you realise. And "Photography for Beginners" shows you how with...
Which shooting mode to use and when
How the settings work (not just what they do)
A quick way to set your camera up for any scene
We don’t just go into detail on how exposure works… we cover every confusing feature on your camera. From shooting, focus, and metering modes to the histogram, white balance, crop factor, and more!

My biggest fear was that by the end of the course I'll still be taking photos with the auto-mode. However, it wasn't the case. I am now taking photos using manual mode 95% of the time and the other 5% on shutter or aperture priority modes.
Instructions were very in depth, yet easily understood, even for a beginner. I have been struggling with getting my camera set up to shoot specific scenes. This class gave me new insights and the confidence to pick the correct settings. With a little more practice, I believe I will be enjoying my newfound world of photography/

As an intermediate level photographer, with a basic understanding of photographic principles, I find courses with "dumbed-down" material and presentation annoying. Josh's "Photography for Beginners" is definitely not like that! I am really impressed with Josh's teaching style (like having an expert tutor by your side guiding you every step of the way), and the material he presents. I have learnt a lot from Josh, and feel that I'm being taken on a photographic journey, with the outcome that I'm now a much better photographer!
The lessons were easy to understand, in such a short time. I have gained so much confidence to go and create some good shots that I could have only dreamed of doing before. As someone who knew absolutely nothing about my camera prior to the lessons, I can say I finally get it!

I thought the course was very well laid out. Things are explained simply so that you are not overwhelmed with lots of facts that are not actually that important to know, but enough facts to know why things are what they are. I think things are always easier to learn when you can see different set ups and the end results as they happen. Lots of thought provoking ideas that give you the taste and confidence to try things out for yourself.

In this module, I break down the fundamentals of photography: the exposure triangle.
Follow along as I explain:
how the aperture affects the amount of light that’s coming through the lens
how to choose the shutter speed in different lighting situations
what ISO will grant you the perfect result
how each of the 3 elements of the exposure triangle has an effect on each other
When you buy a new camera, your instinct is to keep on to its manual.
I myself have wasted countless hours fiddling with those pages… only to realize that the information I was looking for was never explained.
After finishing this module, you can forget about your camera manual forever.
When you’re getting started with photography, there’s a lot to remember.
But the most complicated topics can be simplified with our training. And now we want to take that one step further…
That’s why we’ve worked with our designer to make these stunning (downloadable) wall posters covering the two most important topics: exposure and composition.
From basic settings to advanced composition, you’ll easily be able to remember the most important concepts!
Knowing the technical side of photography is one thing, but composing it beautifully is a whole new challenge.
Even using something as simple as the rule of thirds can add depth, interest, and an interesting balance between the foreground and the background.
Composition is the reason why a professional photographer can take award-winning photos with a disposable camera.
In “Photography for Beginners”, we’ve dedicated an entire section to help you get started with composition.
In Shoot This Scene, we’ve created seven videos covering Landscapes, Portraits, Sunsets, Black and White, Street Photography, Low Light, and Night Photography, and in these videos we show you:
How to fill a landscape with depth and interest
Creative ways to capture light
How to capture dramatic black and whites by shooting in colour
You’re also getting the exact settings I use to capture 21 different kinds of photos, from group photos and cityscapes, to lens flare and light painting.
We explain the exact thought process so you can instinctively make these decisions for yourself.
Our 250,000+ customers love our courses and we're confident you'll love them too. So confident, in fact, that we're offering these two industry-leading guarantees.
Guarantee #1: If you don't think "Photography for Beginners" is the best money you've spent on your photography... send me an email. I'll provide you with a full refund – no questions asked.
Guarantee #2: If you DO what's recommended, and your results aren't great, I'll refund double your money. All I ask is that you give it an honest effort. How's that for fair?
If I could give you a guaranteed method for taking some of the most powerful photographs of your life, how much would that be worth?
Taking great pictures is on the bucket list for most people, experienced photographers or not.
Just the other week in San Diego, I captured the sunset, and boy did it impress my friends! It’s the most liked photo I’ve ever posted on my private Facebook profile!

When you understand photography, there’s nothing more fun and rewarding. You connect with nature in a new way and really bring your portfolio to life. What more can you ask for?
Here’s the thing, photography education is usually such a complicated area of training, workshops at $499 or more aren’t uncommon.
But that’s nothing compared to the money I wasted on cameras and lenses.
I’ve invested over 1,000 hours into creating this course with my team of videographers, designers and editors, in order to make it easy to grasp.
And now we’re offering it for a very limited price.
