This short course is designed to help you create flatlays that are engaging and inspiring--because a photo is a story, not just a random collection of objects.
Anybody who wants to take dynamic, compelling flatlay photos using the props and materials they already have on hand. It probably isn't going to be a good fit for those who want to become professionals or use high-end tools.
No! Students will have access to the class recording in our online class space afterward, so you can watch the recording if you can't make it to the live class. I encourage you to attend live, though, because that'll be your chance to ask questions.
At least six months. While I can't guarantee the hosting platform will be around forever or that I won't want to replace these early recordings with something more polished in the future, a six-month window is a pretty good amount of time.
Yes! Because I want to be able to give each person individual attention, I'm capping enrollment at just 20 people. Once the course fills up, it's full until I offer it again.
