Questions

The ones that arrive by email most weeks, answered properly rather than briefly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an expensive camera?

No. Anything with manual control works, including a camera from fifteen years ago. About half the street course can be done on a phone, and the editing course needs no camera at all.

Is it a subscription?

No. You buy a course once and keep it, including every future update to it. There is nothing to cancel and no monthly charge, which also means no pressure to binge it.

How long do I have to finish?

As long as you like, except the project course, which runs on ten weekly deadlines because that is the whole point of it. If you fall behind, you can join the next intake at no cost.

What is the feedback, exactly?

You send up to ten photographs through the members' area. Within a week you get a written reply of a few paragraphs: what you were trying to do, where it worked, and the one change that would have made the biggest difference. Not a score.

Can I get a refund?

Thirty days, no form and no questions. Write one line to [email protected] and the money goes back the same week, even if you have watched everything.

Are there subtitles?

English and Portuguese on every lesson, written by us rather than generated. Italian and Spanish are being added through 2026, course by course.

Can I buy a course for someone else?

Yes. Choose the gift option at checkout and you get a code to pass on, valid for a year. They set up their own account, so your name stays off their work.

Do you do live classes?

Not at the moment. Everything is recorded, because we would rather film a lesson four times than teach it badly once at nine in the evening.

Still not sure?

Write and tell us what you photograph now. We will say which course fits, or tell you honestly that none of them does yet.
