Secrets to Extraordinary Images Digital Photography Workshop + Ebook

A professional photographer is never satisfied with “decent” images, why should you be? et this Digital Photography Workshop today.

You’re in love with photography. You got your camera. Your gear. You’ve even experimented with some unique/interesting ideas during your shoots.

But you get back home and oh no! There’s something missing. The images aren’t like how you imagined them. They’re just blah!

You know – heck, even I know – your images could stand out more. They need a little boost. Maybe it was your gear but maybe it’s not.

It’s undefinable. Maybe it’s the details? Maybe it’s the lighting? Where do you even start critiquing yourself? You know you did everything technically right. You know shot at the correct settings. Used the correct lighting. How about a Digital Photography Workshop?

Well, what if it’s not your gear or your lighting. But how you see? What if your images are technically sound but emotionally cold? What if you can’t fix this post?

With Nichole Van’s Secrets to Extraordinary Images you’ll learn all the little things that make an everyday image an outstanding one. Absorbing its 7 chapters and paying – close! – attention to its 6 videos, you’ll learn how to maximize the feelings captured within your images. And finally start creating photographs that are truly resonant and amazingly good.

Who doesn’t want that?

Composition is crucial for every image, why don’t you try to improve how you see?

Now, because I love analogies: This workshop is sort of like glasses you never knew you needed until you went to the eye doctor and put them on. It’s like a click. POP. One second before everything was blurry – next moment everything is clear.

Why? Because the secrets are told by photographer who knows what you’ve gone through and what you’re trying to improve. Because she – like every photographer ever – struggled to make images that spark passion, make others stop and say, “Wow!”

The main lesson you’ll learn in Nichole Van’s Digital Photography Workshop and ebook is that perspective and focal length – beyond anything else – are the best tools you have to achieving great images.

You’ll basically learn how to see what an effective composition looks like. And how to create distortions that set your images apart from normal, everyday snapshots.

You’ll get the tools that give you control of the little things. Give you control of bokeh, composition, focal points, and emotional engagement.

Did you know you’re probably shooting portraits wrong?

Here’s my favorite tip of the workshop. It’s so good, and it’ll only take a few sentences. But before I give it to you let me repeat what you’ll learn in this workshop. Here it goes:

By learning these tools, you’ll to go beyond technical details and instead control what’s being told. These are the tools that will help you understand the story behind your image.

Okay, that was easy. Now to the tip. Here it is.

Most portraits should be taken with lenses greater than 80mm. Whoa! Yes. Trust me, Nichole convinced me on this. Think about it: most adults have faces that have sagged over time (I hate aging!).

But, with a longer lens, the space between different focal points on our face – eyes to ears; mouth to forehead – will be shortened. Make you look rounder. Now think of the roundest face you know!

It’s probably a baby’s. We tend to equate round faces as cute and young. So this squeezing by the long lens will help adults seem younger and firmer. Not bad, huh?

Just like the portrait tip. You’ll learn other things in this Digital Photography Workshop that make your work better. Things like:

• How to approach tilting and perspective for children, wedding, couple/family portraits
• Understanding the emotional pulls that come from each different angle and perspective
• Learning the basics of focal length and how wide/long lenses change the feelings of your images
• Controlling aperture and focal length to get the right depth of field for the right image
• Understanding how to implement distortion to make everyone look their absolute best
• So learn how to “re-see” composition and start taking more artistic photographs today.
