Here’s The Truth…Â
Learning how to use your camera is HARD. It’s scattered, confusing, and full of half-answers from people who skip the basics you actually need.
❌ No Clear Path To Follow
You bounce between random YouTube videos with no order or structure - leaving you more confused every time you shoot.
❌ Overpriced & Complicated
Most camera courses cost hundreds and bury you in more confusion that only makes things harder to understand.
❌ Too Much Confusing Info
Most tutorials overload you with settings, menus, and terms that make cameras seem harder than they really are.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED
Meet Your Instructor
My name’s Joseph Thompson, and I’ve loved cameras since I was a kid. I started out filming little stories on my parents’ old VHS camcorder and that curiosity eventually turned into a lifelong passion.
I went on to earn my master’s degree in Digital Media, and today I’m grateful to do what I love every day. But after years of shooting, studying, and teaching, one lesson stands out above everything else:
No matter what camera you own, you can create incredible stories. With just a basic understanding of how your camera and lighting work, you can make almost any camera look amazing, within reason, of course.
That’s exactly why I created this course. I’ve always had a passion for helping people learn, because I know what it’s like to start from zero feeling lost, frustrated, and overwhelmed. And there’s nothing better than watching someone’s confidence grow when it finally clicks.
Since launching my YouTube channel over six years ago, more than 128,000 creators have joined the community. The feedback I hear the most is that people are shocked by how simple things become once they’re explained in the right order, step by step.
That’s the goal of this course to give you that same clarity and confidence behind the camera.
I’m excited for you to join, and I can’t wait to see what you create once everything starts to make sense.
Hope to see you inside.

Who This Course Is For
✓ You want to finally understand how to use your camera to create professional-looking photos and videos - but you’re not sure where to start.
✓ You value simplicity and speed. The goal of this course is to teach you faster and clearer than any other resource online. In just 3 days, you’ll learn what normally takes beginners months of trial and error.
✓ This course is also perfect for people who’ve already started shooting but still feel stuck in Auto mode, frustrated by confusing settings, or unsure why their footage doesn’t look the way they imagined.
Who This Course Is NOT For
Â
❌ You’re looking for a quick hack or overnight success.
This course teaches real fundamentals - not shortcuts. If you’re not willing to spend three focused hours across three days, this isn’t for you.
Â
❌ You already consider yourself an expert.
If you fully understand manual mode, exposure, focus, and menus on your camera, you’ll find this course too basic. It’s built for true beginners and those still piecing it all together.
Â
❌ You’re not ready to take action.
Watching videos won’t make you better unless you pick up your camera and actually use what you learn. This is for people ready to do, not just watch.
