FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is this travel photography course structured?

This online photography course is unit based and divided into ten weeks of content, but you can take it at whatever pace you like. Each week of lessons introduces new concepts and builds upon the previous week — and you’ll always be able to access previous units and lessons, so there’s no rush. You can’t fall behind, and you can take the course at your own pace.

I don’t have a lot of time. Is this course for me?

This course is meant to be completed at your own pace. There’s no weekly time limit. Go as fast or slow as you want. Take your time on each lesson. There is no rush. You have lifetime access to all the material and any future updates.

What if I get really confused or stuck?

I’m here to be your mentor. You can email me as often you as you need to and I’ll help troubleshoot your problems. I want you to succeed, not be confused.

How often do I need to travel to make this work?

You don’t need to travel at all! You can do the whole course from the comfort of your home. Photography doesn’t require you to travel to far-off places – you can learn all the key skills in your own house, then take them with you when you do travel.

How long is each expert interview?

Each interview is between 45 minutes and one hour.

Can I buy this travel photography course as a gift?

Yes, you can! You just need to buy the course as a gift. This will allow you to purchase a copy of the course as a gift, redeemable via coupon code. The coupon can be sent directly to the person you wish to gift it to at purchase, or I can send it to you so you can pass it on when you wish.

Also, if you are looking for a gift certificate to print out or send digitally we have a range of templates for various situations (eg. Christmas, Birthday, Gap Year, Mother’s Day, etc.) that we can customize and send to you for free.

Is my payment secure?

Payments are collected via the 256-bit encryption payment providers Stripe and Paypal. This website and your payment are secure, so no one will steal your data. I know how important this is!

If I’m not interested in selling my photos or starting a business is this course still for me?

Absolutely! I give you the tools and information to start selling your photos and working as a photographer, but many students take the course simply to improve their own personal photography.

My approach to creating this course was to cover as much as possible in one place, so everything is there if you need it.

How often is this course updated?

This course is updated at least twice a year to ensure our tips and advice are up to date.

What kind of camera do I need for this course?

My course doesn’t require any specific type of camera. Whether you use a DSLR, iPhone or Android smartphone, compact camera, or mirrorless camera, you’ll get something from this course.

Most people do choose to use a mirrorless or DSLR camera, but some have done it fully with just a smartphone or compact camera. I also provide additional tips for taking photos with action cameras (e.g., GoPros) and drones for those who have either of those types of gear

Being a good photographer is not about the device you use but the skills you know!

I don’t have a camera yet, is this course for me?

Yes! I’ve had feedback from students who’ve bought the course that they’ve found it really useful even before they’ve bought their camera. It’s helped them plan their purchase, and start getting great photos straight away once they do get a camera.

If I don’t like the photography course, can I get a refund?

Yes. I’m fully committed to helping you improve your photography. You can test-drive the course for 30 days, read the material, listen to the webinars and interviews, and do the homework. If you do the work and don’t feel the course is good or will improve your photography, I’ll happily refund 100% of your money.

It says that 10% of my purchase goes to the World Land Trust. Can you tell me more about this charity?

World Land Trust is an international non-profit conservation organization. Its primary mission is to protect plants, animals, and local communities in areas at environmental risk by funding the purchase of land for local NGOs to undertake conservation. They also support projects that directly tackle climate change.

The funds raised from the course sales will specifically go to supporting the Buy an Acre program. To date (2023), over 100 acres of land has been purchased and protected in perpetuity thanks to course sales.

You can read more about the organization and its current projects here.

I have a question, who can I contact?

Feel free to just send me an e-mail and ask me any questions you have about the course. My email is [email protected].
