I didn’t hesitate to sign up the day it came out, especially after having previously viewed all the YouTube videos, the quality of the content was amazing and I was positive the course would be the same! The course did not disappoint!!

SECTION 1:
COMPOSITION + STYLING
Everything you need to create eye-catching compositions. Not JUST concepts, but the actual steps to creating styled compositions you (and your audience) will love.
Plus, learn which styling tools and techniques are best for you, and which styling props you NEED in your collection.
SECTION 2:
LIGHTING
You've composed a gorgeous scene. Now let's light it! Learn how to optimize the natural light in your home or studio with inexpensive, easy-to-use light modifiers to create the shadows you like best.
Plus, learn when and how to use artificial lighting IF you choose to. Equipment recommendations included.
SECTION 3: SHOOTING
Whether you use a phone or DSLR camera, you deserve to get the most out of it! Learn how to optimize your phone or DSLR settings to take photos you're truly proud of.
You'll be blown away by what your phone can ACTUALLY do. Or you'll finally feel confident every time you pick up that DSLR.
SECTION 4: PHOTO EDITING
Rarely (if ever) do photos look their best straight out of the camera. Learn strategies for quick and easy Lightroom editing on your home computer or using the Lightroom Mobile App.
We get specific about how to edit light versus dark photos, and you'll learn some incredible hacks for common lighting issues like "hot spots". This is everything you need to know about Lightroom: from the most basic to the most badass!

SECTION 5: VIDEO EDITING
Create better videos faster and easier.
Seven lessons devoted to the totally free CapCut editing app, taught in Mandy's signature style.
You'll learn every function and, most importantly, save HOURS by "thinking in layers."
AND FOLLOW ALONG IN YOUR FORMULA WORKBOOK
This isn't one of those Courses where the instructor (me) just talks at you. Building your Photo Formula is all about trying different techniques to discover YOUR preferences.
That's where the 100-page downloadable Workbook comes in! Complete the Action Items after each lesson, make notes, and create your ultimate Photo Formula. The Workbook guides you every step of the way.

MORE LOVE FOR THE PHOTO FORMULA COURSE
I haven't even finished the Formula Course and I can already say, this is the meatiest online photography class I have ever taken-- there is no fluff. I was really on the fence about buying this course but you shouldn't be. I've only finished the Composition and Styling section but I've gotten my money's worth!
Susan G.
I have purchased many online courses and this one is my favorite. I am enjoying every minute. I wake up excited about what I can create using the Replica Surfaces and following the lesson plans. I have already noticed a big improvement with my photos.

I’m not a professional photographer. I’m a small business owner, This course has been a game changer for me. I’ve learned so much about composition, texture, depth, lighting, what’s pleasing to the eye and what isn’t. Even simple editing tips for Lightroom mobile. The workbook is so helpful. I could go on and on. There’s so much in this course, I’m still learning!
