Do you want to learn portrait photography?
Super, this is the only course that will teach the pro insider tricks that work. Here’s why most instructors have never worked as a professional so they only know the theory.
This course will teach you a proven, professional portrait photography system I perfected over years of shooting events professionally.
I personally guarantee that if you’re not able to take pro photos and you completed 100% of the course and all required exercises you can get a 30-day refund without any guilt. Here’s why, I’m positive my dead simple photography system works. Do you know why?
I build a business using it and got over 50, 5-star reviews in a saturated photography market in Hawaii.
I started in photography hoping to pay off my camera. In a few short months, I had paid off my full-frame DSLR, pro lens, and lights by using a really effective photography system.
I’ll show you this system and take you along as we shoot portraits and pose subjects. Photography is a super competitive market and it’s hard to make money. If you want a shot at a successful photography business study with someone who has run a profitable photography business (many online instructors haven’t ever done this).
When you are done, you’ll be able to:
-
Build hundreds of photo poses from memory
-
Discover great portrait light with ease
-
Master professional photo editing
-
Find your creativity as a photographer and artist

Choosing the right lens is one of the most important decisions in portrait photography. The lens you use can have a major impact on the look and feel of your portraits, and choosing the right one for your needs can be a challenge.
In portrait photography, the most commonly used lenses are portrait or short telephoto lenses. These lenses are known for their ability to produce beautiful, shallow depth of field, which helps to isolate your subject and create a soft, dreamy background. They also have a natural, flattering perspective that can help to accentuate your subject’s features and create a more dynamic portrait.
The most popular portrait lenses include:
-
50mm lenses: This classic lens is a popular choice for portrait photographers due to its versatility and affordability. The 50mm lens provides a natural perspective and can be used for a wide variety of portrait styles.
-
85mm lenses: The 85mm lens is another popular choice for portrait photographers. It is known for its ability to produce beautiful bokeh and its flattering perspective, which can help to elongate your subject’s features and create a more elegant portrait.
-
70-200mm lenses: This is a longer telephoto lens that is often used for portraits. The longer focal length allows you to shoot from a distance, making it ideal for capturing larger groups or for outdoor portraits.
Ultimately, the lens you choose will depend on your personal style and the look you are trying to achieve. If you are just starting out, a 50mm lens is a great place to start. But as you develop your skills and explore new techniques, you may want to consider experimenting with different lenses to find the one that works best for you.
At our Portrait Photography Course, we cover all aspects of lens selection and help you make the best decision for your needs. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, our expert instructors will help you develop your skills and take your portrait photography to the next level.
The style of your portraits can have a big impact on how they are perceived by your audience. Whether you want to create dramatic, moody images or bright and cheerful portraits, the right photo style can help you convey the emotions and personality of your subject.
In portrait photography, some of the most popular styles include:
-
Portraiture: This style focuses on capturing the subject’s face and expression, with an emphasis on the eyes. The goal is to capture the subject’s personality and create a timeless, classic portrait.
-
Lifestyle: This style is all about capturing the subject in a more casual and relaxed setting. The focus is on capturing the subject’s natural expressions and movements, and creating a portrait that feels spontaneous and authentic.
-
Fine Art: This style of portrait photography is all about creating images that are beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The focus is on creating a mood or atmosphere through the use of lighting, composition, and post-processing.
-
Glamour: This style is all about creating portraits that are glamorous, sexy, and eye-catching. The focus is on making the subject look their best, using techniques such as dramatic lighting and retouching.
Ultimately, the style of portrait you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the look you are trying to achieve. Our Portrait Photography Course covers a wide range of styles, and our expert instructors will help you find the style that best suits your needs and goals. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, we will help you develop your skills and take your portrait photography to the next level.

Horizons, Watch Out
In response to this project a student posted a WONDERFUL image in the discussion section (check it out in the discussions section for a wonderful example of how to do all these projects well in one picture). One thing I realized I failed to mention in this lesson (that is a fine point, but still worth discussing) is to keep the horizon transition (usually ground to sky line) away from the head, it's best if that line doesn't pass through the head. It just keeps the attention more on the head and less on that horizon. Usually 2/3 up the image is a good spot for the horizon as a general rule as long as that isn't where your subjects head is. I normally will have subjects head a bit above the horizon when possible.
