What do I need for this course? Do I need a pro camera?
This course was designed to be used with a phone camera! You can very much use any camera you want in the weekly “missions” but you certainly do not need anything more than an iPhone as a camera. Along with your phone, you’ll need one more thing for this course and that is… a phone tripod! Here’s the Amazon link to the one I use and it’s only $21 (this is a cheeky affiliate link like the oh so blogger I am).
Should I take this or a photography course?
It depends on what you’re wanting to learn! If you want to learn to use a camera and photograph others, you can check out my photography 101 course, but this course is focused on how you can photograph yourself in a way that YOU love. However, it doesn’t mean this course can’t benefit a photographer.
I’ve been a photographer for 7 years before I actually started taking seflies and self-portraits. For 7 years I had zero intention of wanting photos of myself and possibly even a negative relationship to taking a selfie on my phone.
It wasn’t until my 8th year during quarantine that I truly sat down and started taking photos of myself and realized what I’ve been missing out on. From a self-learning perspective, you will grow immensely in understanding your beauty & confidence. From a photographer-learning perspective, you will grow exponentially by ACTUALLY understanding what your clients/models/subjects go through in front of the camera and that empathy will change your game.
Should I take this or a modeling course?
Just like above, it really depends on what you’re looking for, but I can assure you that this isn’t a “modeling” course – I would be misleading someone like that! If you’re serious about learning how to model, I recommend checking out Coco Rocha’s Model Camp. But if you want to learn how to pose for YOU and YOUR photos for YOUR empowerment – this is the class.
Can you take the course if you are overseas/international?
Yes! Because all of the course material is pre-recorded this course can work for people across various time zones. As for Live components like the weekly open office hours, I’ll have those recorded and they’ll forever live in the resource library for you to watch at your convenience anytime!
I am a man/woman/genderfluid/non-binary/fem-presenting/masc-presenting/etc individual, will the things we learn still apply to me?
Absolutely! In the course, you will be learning about posing in so many ways: as a theory, as a practice, to create moods, to show-off clothes, etc. As well as about lighting and angles and so much more.
Posing goes beyond having set poses for one gender identity and there’s quite a big segment exactly on this matter. Posing is about embodying whatever energy you want to showcase, and that is for everyone!
I’ve never taken a “real” photo of myself, is this too advanced?
Absolutely not! This is quite the introductory class that slowly branches into deeper concepts but even within the fundamentals there’s so much room to create, play, and express through your unique DNA. If anything I’m glad you’re reading through these Q&A, because this course might just be the perfect match for you.
I’m a photographer already, what can I learn?
That’s great! You get to focus on every other goodness in this course! Learn what it means to identify beauty for yourself, be confident & comfortable in FRONT of the camera by re-defining posing, and lastly using selfies as a way to empower you!
