Get creative photos that match what you see in your head!
Stop relying on your camera’s uninspired choices! With Exposure Essentials, you’ll learn how to take control of your camera settings so you can get more artistic images, have them turn out the way you envisaged, and get the creative, crisp pictures you’ve been dreaming of!
Ready to move away from AUTO, but can’t seem to get your settings right?
❌ You love taking photos and being creative, but right now, all you’re taking is generic, middle of the road photos.
❌ Everyone else seem to know which settings to use instinctively - but you’re too busy rifling through a cheat sheet to capture the moment before it’s gone!
❌ You’re fed up of conflicting advice - one cheat sheet tells you to shoot at F2.0 for portraits and another at F8 - which is it??
❌ You’re posting photos in Facebook groups or on socials, and feeling a tad embarrassed when no one shows much interest.
❌ You’re stuck in AUTO mode out of fear, because when you move away, your photos don’t turn out the way you want them to.
❌ You’re relying on cheat sheets to help you choose your settings, but you’re still getting photos that look too dark, too bright or soft in all the wrong places!
What if choosing your settings didn’t feel like a guessing game? 🤔
Some photographers rely on generic “cheats sheets” or “recipes” for choosing their settings, assuming this will be easier and less complicated than figuring out the settings by themselves!
In reality, all these do is give you wide range of suggested numbers that simply play it safe and try to cover as many eventualities as possible - which is exactly what your camera does on AUTO mode!
If you want images that look interesting, creative, perfectly exposed and with everything you want in focus, you need to learn how to make the key decisions about your settings.
Every scene is unique - so the settings you need to use are too!
By truly learning the concepts behind choosing the right aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings, you’ll:
✅ Feel more confident behind the camera
✅ Get more interesting and creative images
✅ Start to get photos that look the way you envisaged!
The best part? Learning all of this is easier and takes less time than you think!
The Simple 3 Step Plan To Move Away from AUTO and take control!
Step One
APERTURE
In Exposure Essentials we start with in depth understanding on aperture, depth of field & The Space Rule so you can get photos that are artistic yet sharp in all the right places!
Step Two
ISO
Next, you’ll learn the tricks to minimise noise in your images so that they look crisp and clear, and take even more control by ensuring your images don’t look too dark or too bright!
Step Three

That’s it!
No hours of complicated trainings.

In Exposure Essentials, my goal is to move you away from AUTO and shooting in Aperture or Shutter Priority mode, while getting a crisp, clear photo that matches the creative "look" you want, and is neither too light or too dark. Although we do cover how to put it all together and choose all 3 settings yourself, you can absolutely stay on the semi automatic modes instead!
