Shoot Like The Pros
I teach photography nuts to completely control their camera, get the shot every time, fill their walls with their photos, and/or make a profit from photography.

STOP RIGHT THERE: If you are looking for information on how to take better photographs - the type of incredible photos you see pro photographers display in magazines - I've got news for you. You DO NOT need more information. The information on how to do so is all out there on the Internet and has been for years (it's also in this course).
But you don't need more information. If that's all it took, librarians with cameras would be the best photographers out there.
What you need is a TEACHER.
You need the right teacher, who will speak clearly and demonstrate the simple concepts that have been under your nose for years (hint, they are fairly simple, they are just usually not taught that well, or comprehensively).
That's where I come in. I have taught hundreds of people my style of Manual Mode professional photography over the years, and have even helped launch some professional careers. Now, I'm taking that same teaching and applying it in an online course, so I can teach people anywhere in the world, in less than 30 days, how to shoot like a pro!
Read on and watch the video below to see if you think I am the teacher for you :)
Registration for the VIP Launch of Shoot Like The Pros is now OPEN!
Get all the details in this video:
There is tons of training out there on how to "fix" your photographs in Photoshop, after you have taken them (likely incorrectly).
Finally, here is a proven, step-by-step system of training to get fantastic results "in camera", that will have you shooting like a pro, every time, in a very short period of time!
In fact, with my training you can get there in 30 days or less - guaranteed!
Get these great bonuses! $190 Value!
Bonus 1: 5 Steps to Perfect Sunrises (and Sunsets) - $40 Value
I'll show you everything it takes to capture nature's greatest show that plays every day. The gear I use, the techniques I use, and how to plan for the perfect sunrise portrait to put up on your wall. And here's the kicker, once you learn to photograph sunrises, which are a little trickier than sunsets, you are automatically a sunset master as well!
Bonus 2: The Secret to Hitting Focus ALL. THE. TIME. - $40 Value
There is a technique I learned a little later in my career that improved my in-focus rate by at least 25%. Now I'm hitting focus at f/2.8 on a moving subject more than 90% of the time. I share this technique with you.
Bonus 3: A Dozen PDF files with a Dozen Photography Lessons - Yours to Keep! - $60 Value
I've included in one place a whole bunch of photo trainings I've done over time that are not included in this course - until now. Learn about flash photography, properly blurring backgrounds, making waterfalls look all smooth and silky, and much, much more.
Bonus 4: A 15 minute call with me! - $50 value
We'll connect via phone, Skype or Zoom, and you can ask me anything you want about photography. It can be technical, artistic or career related. I love talking all things photography and sharing my 20 years of professional experience. Normally I charge $400 for 4, 30-minute calls.
These $190 worth of bonuses are here for my students to keep!
I can show you how to take great photographs, straight out of camera with no need for heavy Photoshop editing, in any lighting situation, even if:
You don't have the right gear
Do you have a camera capable of shooting in Manual Mode? That's the entire gear checklist for this course. There are no tricks and gimmicks, no fancy gear required, and no Photoshop or Lightroom expertise needed.
Promise #1: I will teach you good old-fashioned photography skills that will separate you from the masses of people who never learned the fundamentals, and rely on wasting time after the shot to fix their photos.
You are not a "techie" person
You know what? Many of the best photographers in history were not techies either! And if the Internet existed when Ansel Adams was around, he certainly wouldn't be reading up on which lens is 2% sharper than the next. He would be out there shooting!
Promise #2: Shoot Like The Pros is a "jargon free zone". I use plain, everyday language and examples to show you how to simplify the process of photography and get the shot - every time.
You're not ready
Truthfully, if you are able to log onto the web, and you have a camera, then you are ready. It doesn't matter if you are inexperienced at photography (I am looking for people with "an eye" and passion for photography), or if you are already making money from photos (that you are likely wasting time fixing after you take them).
Promise #3: I take you from where you are, to shooting like a pro - in 30 days or less - guaranteed
You are busy and short on time right now
Do you own a television? Have a Netflix account? Then I guarantee you have time for this training. I waste no time on unnecessary material. To quote my online training mentor, David Siteman Garland, "If you want some fluff - go pet a bunny!". You can spend half an hour, 3 times a week, watching the video tutorials, and another 1 or 2 hours practicing with your camera, and you will complete the training in less than 30 days.
That's 5 months quicker than a 6-month night-school course, and
many hundreds of hours less than wading through the rabbit-hole of
YouTube videos (caution - lots of fluff out there).
Promise #4: You can get the results you want from your photography - the photos you saw in the brochures when you bought your camera - in less than 30 days!
What sort of photos would
you like to master?
Powerful portraits people will pay for? I'll cover that extensively with you.

"Thank you Ron for such an amazing photography course. I feel like I've developed from a point and shoot, 'panic-and-just-go-to-Auto-Mode-photographer' to being a lot more confident with Manual Mode and taking all photos that way, indoor and outdoor. Ron's personable demeanor and ability to explain previously overwhelming concepts in language and applications I can understand has changed the way I take photos. Thank you so much for this course! Just have to convince my family I need more gear :)"

I'm not sure why you're here today.
It could be that you saw all my free online photography training over the past year.
It could be that you have tried to hack your way through YouTube tutorials and just gotten more confused.
It could be that you are starting up your own photography business (or side business) and want to get the right results every time while showing confidence to your clients.
It could be that you have already started your own photography business, and are spending wayyy too much time fixing your photos in Photoshop or Lightroom.
It could be that you just want to take really awesome photographs!
Whatever the reason, Shoot Like The Pros is the complete, step-by-step system to learn everything you need to know about mastering your camera and speaking its language to get the results you want, in a fraction of the time it would take otherwise.
Let's see what's inside!
It's time to learn to Shoot Like The Pros!
How much of the above image is Photoshop, and how much straight out of camera? You may be surprised to learn, it is about a 10% / 90% split, hardly any Photoshop required! This is the kind of photography I teach in Shoot Like The Pros.
Your Instructor
When I was 9, my dad started up a 1-Hour Photo store. By the time I
was 10, I was "working" there, testing batteries and loading film
(Remember film? Have I aged myself?). Throughout the years, I learned
everything I could about what happens from when the shutter is pressed,
until a high-quality print is made.
I learned on film, but when digital came around I was hooked for life. The amount of experimentation I could do helped me to master both photographic techniques and Photoshop much faster (I've now been using Photoshop for 21 years).
Fast forward, and I've put in the "10,000 hours" that Malcolm Gladwell recommends for mastery of a subject. I've made all of my income for the past 20 years from photography. I'm now a successful stock photographer "on the side", as well as still running the family business, which has morphed into a photography company specializing in classic portraiture and schools and sports photography.
My photos have been published by:
I have a passion for figuring things out and sharing the results with others. I look forward to cutting your 10,000 hours down dramatically!
And yes, that's my beautiful family, and yes, I lugged 40 pounds of photo gear to Maui for vacation. #dedication
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
- You have a passion for photography
- You want to get much better - fast!
- You don't want to waste time fixing photos in the computer any more than you have to
- You are interested in making money from photography (not a required desire, but this course will help with making money)
- You are more of a visual learner than a book learner
- You have "the eye" - you have an obvious taste for composition that you and/or others have noticed, and get great joy from being creative
Who is this course NOT for?
- You already know it all
- You want to watch and learn, but not practice
- You don't have internet
- You love spending quality time with Photoshop or Lightroom. Not creative time, just quality time rescuing photos.
So how much does this cost?
As I mentioned in the video above, I've checked out photography certificate and diploma programs* that take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to complete. They are quite good and comprehensive. Particularly if you have no kids, no job, no mortgage and an extra $30,000 kicking around - because that's how much they can cost!
You can also do the patch-together-free-YouTube-videos thing, or maybe you already have. While free (money-wise), it takes a lot of time, and in fact you can easily find unproven, conflicting information that just makes you more confused.
After doing the research, I figured this course, Shoot Like The Pros, could easily sell for $600 USD and be more than worth it, with the huge amount of time and frustration it will save you in your photography journey - particularly if you plan to make money from photography. Remember, I have specifically designed this course to give you the results you seek in 30 days or less.
In order to get as many students through the course as possible and build the word-of-mouth, I decided on an introductory price of $297.
And then, because I want as many "founding students" as possible to go through the course on this VIP launch, I've convinced myself to sell a year's worth of blood, sweat and tears for just $197!
And hold your horses - during the COVID-19 crisis, due to increased interest in online learning,
along with financial uncertainty, we have temporarily cut our Lifetime
Access price by over 80%!
Now I would like you take a moment, and make a mental list of the dollars you have spent on camera gear. The camera body (or bodies), the lens(es), tripods, filters, batteries, memory cards, camera bags, etc. Yikes, quite the total huh?
Given that list of gear, what is the absolute best photography investment you can make now? It is absolutely not another piece of equipment. For less than the price of a "kit lens", you can turn that inventory into a weapon of mass creation, and finally get the results you have seen the top pro photographers get!
For those (maximum five people) who want a little more, I
am offering personal 1-on-1 coaching via phone/Skype. This is to help
you set up or optimize your photography business so you can do like I do
- make all your income from photography!
What do I get?
With your enrollment you get immediate, lifetime access to the entire course, plus any future bonuses or updates! There are of course videos for every module, but also written PDF files for you to download and take with you where appropriate (by the way, you can also download the videos so you don't need wifi - hello, bus/train/camping trip entertainment!).
You can go through the modules at your own pace and repeat them as often as you want - I imagine you will download a few key videos to your phone to reference at all times :)
There are also (optional, ungraded) pop quizzes after each video if you are into that type of thing.
You will also get access to my private Facebook Photography Mastermind Group where we can all talk about the techniques learned and share our results!
Do you guarantee results?
Yes! 30-Day Money Back Guarantee: Because I am so proud of this results-oriented training, I am
offering a 30-day, 100%, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee!
So far, no-one has taken me up on it :)
"Just so you know, I have been really putting into use this 'secret weapon'...it gets me close to the right exposure setting so much quicker and then I just make my small adjustments from there.
Thanks again for all your info...it is fantastic!!"
