They freeze when strangers are nearby or their camera settings fail in mixed light.

Maybe their gear feels bulky and intrusive and they lack structured, practice-driven guidance that turns weekend snaps into a saleable portfolio.

  • Complexity & Layering – Use planes, subjects, and context to add depth.
