Behind the Lens Course Available Now

And so, The Ultimate Series was born. Behind the Lens is the first in the series, but we have 9 more courses already in the works. They are designed to extend and expand the reach of the original Ultimate Landscape Photography Course by pushing beyond the basics. The Ultimate Course touched on the most important aspects of nature photography – introducing concepts like hyperfocal distance, research and location, and post-processing workflow. The courses we are building for The Ultimate Series will dig deeper into a variety of concepts – from light to lenses and beyond.

Our Behind the Lens Course compliments The Ultimate Landscape Photography Course by offering even more case studies taught right in the field. But this time, we take you deeper into our minds. Not only do we explain why we made the choices we did… we also explain the choices we didn’t make. We even show examples of images that didn’t make the cut, so you can see exactly what we were thinking as we worked. Each lesson shows how we approach a scene and how we navigate the range of options available to us in order to produce a finished image that matches our artistic vision.

In this course, we tackle the challenges that come up with every photo – and we do it right there in front of the camera, so you can watch the artistic process unfold. The obstacles are different every time – light, location, weather conditions, distractions… We show you how we approach each problem with the tools we have on hand, and the creative thinking that is so much a part of the photographic process. We show you how we choose a single interesting element, and build a photograph around it – using all the technical and artistic options that are available to us. Behind the Lens give you a unique opportunity to watch professional photographers thinking out loud, and dealing with the challenges that happen in the field as they happen… so that you can learn to make the most of your own knowledge, equipment, and creativity.
