PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
LEARN TO USE YOUR CAMERA AND TAKE BETTER PICTURES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
What if you could finally learn how to shoot with an SLR camera in just 8 weeks and build a social media image bank for your company in the same 3 months (even if you started from scratch?)
DO YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTOS NOT LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO?
The quality of your images is not very good and they are always a bit too dark or too bright.
The light isn’t amazing either and they’re just boring and always kind of the same.
Because my own pictures are a bit embarrassing, it’s difficult to even post on social media. Even if every now and then pull yourself together and make a good social media plan, it’s impossible to stick to that plan because you lack good photos.
And this system doesn’t bring any results…
Even if you love everything visual, social media pictures cause you pain. Every time you have to put a picture on social media, the inner monologue goes like this:
”Oh man, I need to post something, but I still don’t have any good pictures in stock, how come I’m so behind…”
”Honestly, I’m ashamed of my own pictures when they don’t look like they do in my head, but I still have to post something since it’s been an awfully long break…”
Then you wish that you could really take better pictures, but learning photography seems so complicated and time-consuming that it is always puts you off, and the right time just never comes.
And when you finally have time to post, this same cycle begins again:
The guilt of being behind makes me post something in a last-minute panic.
Frustration because of the lack of good photos to use
Painfully taking some photos that don’t turn out as I would like them to
How nice it would be to learn how to take better photos, when I finally have enough time
…and the cycle begins again 
This cycle causes stress and frustration, but in addition, the lack of good pictures is an obstacle to regular social media marketing and real results on social media.
Are you ready to get rid of the social media stress?
In social media, everything starts from a good photo.
No one will stop to read your caption unless your social media image is so distinctive that it stops them mid-scroll.
If we're being completely honest...
You know the importance of pictures on social media, but you've been putting off learning photography for quite some time
because the problem is...
You know that in order to take high-quality social media photos, you must first learn how to use the camera
And that’s a bit bigger of a project…
There are a million camera settings, so how does one learn where something is happening
It feels as though it depends on luck why some pictures turn out well and some don’t
As soon as you take a picture inside, the picture will not be exposed correctly and it will look stuffy and dim
Learning the camera with the instruction book and the manual seems like an eternal project and there is simply no time for it
whatever you do...
Don't believe these persistent myths
Myth #1:
IT'S PERFECTLY FINE TO TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTOS WITH YOUR PHONE
This is one of the biggest reasons why your photos don’t look good.
Quite a lot of entrepreneurs nowadays use their phones to take social media photos, thinking that phone cameras are of sufficient quality these days and a camera is no longer needed.
NOTE! This common misconception is NOT true, for these reasons:
– The quality of phone photos is only good if you always shoot in perfect natural light. Indoors and in low light, the quality of the images deteriorates immediately.
– The colors don’t look the way they should because the phone’s camera settings are always set (to some degree) on automatic.
– Pictures taken with a phone lack depth and a wow-factor, so they don’t stand out on social media.
You may have noticed how phone pictures lack a certain something…
If you want to take your social media photos to the next level, forget your phone. You need a camera.
Myth #2:
AUTOMATIC CAMERA SETTINGS ARE ENOUGH
While a camera is better than the phone, if you use it with automatic settings, you run into some of the same problems as when shooting with a phone.
The problem is that if you don’t adjust the settings yourself, it depends on luck when the pictures are successful and when they are not.
There is no way to consistently get a blurry background, and the pictures are flat and boring. Each picture looks a little different in tone and sometimes the pictures are too bright and sometimes too dark.
Auto-mode is one big reason why your photos don’t look so good.
It just doesn’t give the images the unity and consistency that functional social media marketing requires.
Myth #3:
THE TECHNOLOGY OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS COMPLICATED
It is really understandable to choose to shoot with a phone or a camera on automatic settings, because the camera settings can seem really difficult to learn.
The tech of photography may seem like such a huge mountain to you that it is almost impossible to master it.
It seems that it requires a lot of practice and is a multi-year project.
It might even seem like a depressing thought that you can’t even begin when it’s hard to know where to start…
The difficulty of the technology is a myth, which is why many put off learning photography for years and never learn to shoot, even though the camera might be waiting in the closet.
In reality, the technique of photography involves only a few things that you learn in days, not years.
WHAT IF IT'S NOT AS HARD AS IT SEEMS?
Imagine if...
…you could finally learn how to use a camera to take social media photos in the style of your brand
…you would know how to take high-quality photos yourself instead of using stock photos or low-quality phone photos
…you could post regularly every week and never run out of good pictures
WHAT IF YOU SHOT YOUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTO BANK?
Thanks to your own social media image bank, you could post regularly every week and the good images never end.
It would achieve three things:
You would attract your ideal client
With a clear photographic style, you attract a specific clientelle and can ensure that you lure in those dream clients!
You can finally post consistently
Last-minute panic goes away and regularity starts to produce results on social media.
Social media stress disappears
You no longer have to worry about not having anything to post. Shooting will become really fun for the first time and taking photos will be a more relaxed experience.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY?
Camera instruction manuals can be downloaded for free from the internet, and there are thousands of videos on photography on YouTube.
Stock photos are also available for free or for a small fee, but as you know, they don’t really represent your services.
So learning photography doesn’t necessarily cost anything, but learning alone can still take dozens of hours, which is the most valuable resource, especially for an entrepreneur.
Photography is a skill that is easily put off learning for years, because doing it alone can seem like an eternity project.
How long can you still afford to make sales with ”just ok” pictures?
The Photography course is implemented with a step-by-step structure, where the course material is learned in a certain order instead of studying individual aspects of photography on your own from time to time.
You won’t be left alone with the course material, but you will get hands-on instruction on using the camera and building a social bank.
Come along and finally raise your social media image to a new level!
