Paul Hassell isn't strictly a photographer. Paul is in the light business. An entrepreneur since the age of fifteen, a lover of solitude, and a loyal friend, Paul defies convention at every turn.

Who this course is for:
- Anyone who doesn’t have the time or desire to sit in a classroom for 6-weeks at a community college, but does want to learn the fundamentals right the first time from a pro with a focus on the outdoor landscape.
- Recent retiree (or other) who has a nice camera and wants to get serious about using it in the context of travel, wildlife, or the outdoor landscape.
What you’ll learn:
- By the end of this course, you will have full confidence using your DSLR to 100% of its potential, and you will be surprisingly far down the road in your personal journey as an artistic photographer of the natural world.
- In this course, you will learn what you actually need to know about your DSLR in CAMERA CLASS, how to begin seeing Light in the PHOTOGRAPHY section, and how to continue learning for a lifetime in my PROBLEM SOLVING section.
Requirements:
- This course is for beginners who believe they may want to get serious about their new hobby of photographing the natural world.
- We recommend a DSLR of any variety, though our illustrations will tend toward the entry-level Canon and Nikon systems.
- There is no required software for this course. We intentionally don’t dive into the digital post-processing world during this JUMPSTART course.
Paul’s motivational JUMPSTART into the world of outdoor photography is a unique blend of practical hands-on lecture, ideas for creative inspiration, Q and A from a live audience who asks the questions you want to know. Count on having a lot of fun learning from Paul’s vibrant teaching style, and then get outside on your next adventure taking great photos!
This course is for beginners who are serious about learning it right and in a tangible way the first time. This is not for casual shooters who just want to take a better snapshot of their family. This is for those who want to really be artists with their camera.
You will need to have your camera out in front of you. Be prepared to practice, practice, practice as the course progresses.
I will deliver this time-tested Jumpstart course in three sections: CAMERA CLASS, PHOTOGRAPHY, and PROBLEM-SOLVING:
– CAMERA CLASS: You have to learn this gadget before you can create those artistic masterpieces of this wild planet. Look forward to getting off of that pesky green Auto setting forever after this morning session.
– PHOTOGRAPHY: It’s all about the Light, baby!
– PROBLEM-SOLVING: After this section, “When you’re photographing on your own, and there’s no one to look over your shoulder and critique, you can basically teach yourself.”
TRY everything we cover on YOUR OWN CAMERA as you progress through the course. Don’t take tons of notes… JUST TRY IT!
Join Paul in this LIVELY ongoing classroom experience. The flame of passion you currently have for photography will be fanned into a blazing inferno.
