Workshop Curriculum

  • Introduction

For the past seven years, I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world, shooting for huge brands like Apple, and Land Rover. I’ve learned quite a few things along the way – and I want to share those with you.

  • Gear

The number one question I get is: what camera do you shoot with? I shoot with many cameras because each one has unique characteristics that match the goal of the shoot I am doing.

  • Mastering Camera Settings

Let’s talk about knowing your camera. As someone who wants to be a professional you need to know it inside and out, so much in fact that you don’t think about it when you’re using it. Just like when you drive your car.

You see a lot of outdoor photographers start packing their bags when the sun has set but they are missing out on some of the best light around. We go on location where I’ll walk you through my technique for shooting blue hour.

Alex explains that while there isn’t a step-by-step recipe to making work that moves the viewer, but there are ways to propel you in the right direction.

  • Visual Storytelling 101

This episode sets about to give adventure photographers stronger foundations to visual storytelling so they can elevate the way they tell stories.

  • Endurance In A World Of Sprinting

We’ve all heard the old adage that ‘motivation is a muscle’ and although in many ways that’s true, there is much more to it that we rarely hear about. Knowing how to access our inner strength for the projects that matter is a life skill that should be taught at school, but isn’t. Learn how in this episode.

  • Keeping Your Ideas Fresh

Feeling uninspired as a creator has much to do with our mind but external events can have a huge influence on how inspired we feel. Learn strategies that the worlds most celebrated creatives use to remain fresh and inspired day after day.

  • Canon Shoot: Pre-Pro

Learn how to staff an entire shoot through social media. Introduce yourself to new people, get them stoked on your shoot, and build a team of people who will make you better.

  • Field Day: Canon USA Shoot

This episode is for photographers who have to tackle a commercial shoot where the object photographed is used not photographed. A lens. The series is very worth watching because it shows you to come up with a concept for a shoot, then staff it and scout it.

Staying organized as your photo archive grows is an essential skill. Learn how to properly keyword & organize your photos when importing them to Lightroom.

Learn how to use gradients in Lightroom to subtly guide the views eye to your focal point.

  • Let’s Talk Business

Now its time to talk about one of the most important things for any adventure photographer out there: Selling your ideas.

  • Building A Desirable Portfolio

A portfolio is a collection of our best images. It is specifically built to land you clients and publications. It is one of the hardest things to built as a photographer because it’s hard for us to be very critical with our own work. Learn how to build one here.

  • Hot To Contact Clients

This episode is for photographers who have prepared to reach out to prospective clients or have reached out without much success. The problem is that most photographers pitch the wrong people, the wrong way and fail at it. This episode gives photographers a systematic approach to preparing their pitch and reaching out to the brand.

  • Prospecting: Finding Brands That Fit You

This episode addresses why and how you should pick brands that fit you to work with, then how to get their attention.

  • Getting Clients To See Our Value

  • The Art of Crafting Mood Boards & Treatments

As a working photographer you’ve probably had to build these documents; I remember the first time i had to build one I spent an hour on Google looking at some many different examples that I didn’t even know where to begin. There is a lot of contradictory information on the web about this so it is my ambition to create a complete guide to building treatments and pre-pro books for adventure photographers.

  • Keys To A Fulfilling Photo Career

By now I think we all know that being successful in photography takes much more than being a very good photographer. We all wish that we could just go out everyday, make photos we love and that people will line up at the door to buy our prints, talk about us on the press and hire us for massive campaigns. That couldn’t be further from reality. Learn what to prioritize on.
