What You'll Learn

Whether you are shooting indoors, outdoors or in low light situations, this program will show you the options to create stunning images.

By the end of the course you will be able to evaluate the available light sources (both natural and artificial), know the results they will create and your options to modify, restrict, soften or fill in with the aid of simple accessories.

“At its best, Natural and available light can be beautiful and give you precisely the results you want – but just as often it is not giving you what you require.

I created this course to show you how to get the results you want, no matter what the available light is providing.”

Hear what photographers have to say…

  • "Matt explains things in ways that anyone can understand, this combined with the wealth of information within the assignments my photography is going to be so much better as a result" - Deanne

  • “I’ve never thought about light the way Matt describes it. He’s right, that’s all photography is. Once I did this course my photography started improving exponentially. I’m starting to look at the world differently, looking for interesting light all the time. I’m so inspired!!” - Henry

  • “You don't just see the final product and an ideal setup. You actually see how someone gets there and the trial and error that actually goes into making a great shot. So much better than being in a classroom!” - Duncan
