30-DAY PHOTOGRAPHY ACCELERATOR

Anyone can teach you the technical stuff. You're probably here because you saw my free YouTube course on camera settings and the exposure triangle. That's the easy part.

But then what?

Most budding photographers get stuck in what I call "intermediate hell." They know all the buttons, understand how to properly expose a photo, and can take technically decent photos...

...that look barely better than what anyone can capture on an iPhone.

The truth? The artistic eye—that special vision guiding everything from composition to color theory to emotional storytelling—isn't commonly shared on YouTube or in typical courses.

I would know. I spent a decade searching for it.

I watched every tutorial. Read every book. Took expensive workshops. All while producing “technically correct” but creatively uninspired images.

It wasn't until I worked directly under my mentors in Japan—carrying their gear, observing their decisions, and absorbing their thought process—that I finally discovered the elusive artistic vision that separates amateur photographers from professionals who get paid by the world's biggest brands or build huge social media followings.

I had to receive my artistic vision the hard way, but you don’t have to.

This course is my attempt to give you what I so desperately wish I had in the beginning: a straight path from technical competence to genuine artistic expression.

🎯 REAL RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT

📸 THE 30-DAY JOURNEY

Each day for 30 days, you'll receive:

• A focused 30-minute lesson on essential photography theory

• A practical assignment to immediately apply what you've learned

• Progressive skill-building that compounds day after day

Days 1-3: Building Rock-Solid Technical Foundations

First, we'll set a solid technical foundation before building anything else on top.

By the end of day 3, you'll dial in the perfect settings through muscle memory alone. Your fingers will find the perfect aperture, shutter speed, and ISO without thought, freeing your mind to create art, not fumble with dials.

Days 4-9: Mastering Composition Fundamentals

Move beyond the rule of thirds to orchestrate visual elements with intention. Learn to create dynamic tension and flow that commands attention through advanced compositional techniques.

Days 10-15: Light as Your Most Powerful Tool

Discover how to shape, direct, and manipulate light to reveal dimension and sculpt form. Master both natural and artificial lighting techniques across various conditions.

Days 16-21: Color Theory & Subject Prominence

Go beyond a technical understanding of hue, saturation, and brightness; gain an intuitive understanding of how to harmonize the color palette of your photo to breathe life into your composition.

Days 22-27: Storytelling & Emotional Impact

Transcend past snapshots of everyday life and grip people with compelling visual narratives. Become more than a photography hobbyist and feel deserving of the title of an “artist”.

Days 28-30: Next Steps & Professional Development

Final words on gear, editing, and career. If you want to take your photography seriously and see where it can take you, then you won’t want to miss this section.

📣 WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"I've spent thousands on gear thinking it would improve my photography. This course taught me more in a month than 3 years of YouTube tutorials and equipment upgrades. The section on storytelling alone was worth 10x what I paid."

— Michael T., Landscape Photographer (Verified Purchase) ★★★★★

"The before/after in my work is night and day. My friends literally accused me of outsourcing my editing because the quality improvement was so dramatic. Pat's approach to color theory and subject prominence gave me the signature style I've been searching for."

— David R., Travel Photographer (Verified Purchase) ★★★★★

"Pat doesn't just teach techniques—he cultivates your artistic vision. I finally understand WHY certain compositions work instead of blindly following rules. Six weeks after finishing the course, I sold my first print collection and recouped my investment many times over."

— Emily L., Fine Art Photographer (Verified Purchase) ★★★★★

🤔 COMMON QUESTIONS

"Do I need an expensive camera?"

Nope! Any digital camera with manual controls will work perfectly, even a smartphone with a third-party camera app. For best results, however, we do recommend a DSLR or mirrorless type camera.

"How much time will this take each day?"

Each day requires about 60 minutes total — 30 minutes for the lesson and 30 minutes for the assignment.

"What if I fall behind?"

While daily consistency provides the best results, lifetime access means you can adjust the pace to fit your schedule.

"Will editing be covered as well?"

Yes! We cover editing fundamentals and Adobe Lightroom workflow. For more advanced editing, check out my separate Lightroom Masterclass.
