By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently follow a proven field workflow for photographing landscapes, choose the right camera settings for any scene, achieve sharp focus from foreground to background, and capture well-exposed images with less trial and error. Join professional landscape photographer and Nature Photography Academy founder Meredith Fontana as she takes you into the field to demonstrate the practical techniques she uses to consistently create compelling landscape photographs. Rather than focusing on isolated camera settings, this course teaches a complete, real-world workflow you can apply every time you head out to shoot.

Designed for beginner and intermediate photographers, this course is ideal for anyone who understands the basics of using a DSLR or mirrorless camera but wants to move beyond Auto mode and gain confidence making creative decisions in the field. To be successful, you should have a DSLR or mirrorless camera (any brand or model), with a tripod recommended for the best results. Through hands-on demonstrations, you'll learn how to manage exposure, focus, white balance, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed while evaluating your images on location—helping you capture stronger landscape photos before you ever open your editing software.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to photograph products on a clean white background using natural light, create evenly lit images that showcase texture and detail, and confidently edit your photos so they're ready for e-commerce websites, social media, or online marketplaces. Join product photographer Cecilia Cruz Sandoval as she guides you through a simple, professional workflow that makes high-quality product photography accessible using either a smartphone or a DSLR camera.

You'll learn how to build an effective white-background lighting setup with natural light, understand why this arrangement produces consistent results, apply practical tips to improve your images, and complete a streamlined editing process that prepares your photos for immediate use. Along the way, you'll also receive a downloadable PDF cheat sheet to reference whenever you're setting up a shoot. This course is ideal for small business owners, makers, artists, online sellers, and beginner photographers who want to create polished product images without investing in expensive studio equipment. To be successful, you should have access to a smartphone or DSLR camera and a few basic photography materials, but no prior product photography experience is required.
