Composition & Color For Photographers
Create EYECATCHING Photos, No Matter Where You Are
Struggling to Make Your Photos Stand Out?
Do your images feel flat or uninspiring? Do you second-guess your compositions, relying on the rule of thirds but still not getting that professional look? You’re not alone.
You’ve seen photographers create magic in the most ordinary locations—but when you try, your photos just don’t have that wow factor.
The secret to stunning photos isn’t your camera, it’s your creativity.
If you’ve ever felt like:
✔️ Something feels off in my images, but I can’t figure out what.

Turn ordinary locations into extraordinary images
Some PHOTOS do more than catch your eye. They stop TIME.
It’s like you can jump inside the frame and feel it. Emotions pop, kids’ personalities jump out, and on top of that, they’re so aesthetically pleasing (even if you can’t quite put your finger on why) you just can’t stop looking at them!!
They’re the kinds of photos YOU can create.
Feel Like You're "Missing Something" in Your Photography?
You love taking photos, but sometimes you wonder…
📸 Am I really a photographer if I didn’t go to art school?
📸 Why do my photos feel inconsistent, even when I try to be intentional?
📸 I know my images could be better, but I don’t know what’s missing.
You’re not alone! Many photographers feel stuck, second-guess their work, or struggle to develop a clear style.
The truth is, you don’t need a fancy degree or expensive gear to create stunning images. What you do need is a strong foundation in composition, color, and creative thinking.
That’s exactly what Composition & Color teaches you. It’s the fundamentals of art school, designed specifically for photographers—helping to build your creative toolbox, sharpen your eye, and gain the confidence to create images that truly stand out.
You are a real photographer. Let’s build the skills & confidence to own it.
