See the Difference

Before

These uninspiring "before" examples are my own. When I started Locust Collection, I was a seasoned wedding photographer, but I lacked the expertise in styling and photographing flat-lays.

After

Years immersed in flat-lays taught me styling and lighting skills through trial and error. This experience led to simplified, foolproof methods for balanced, well-lit images.

Your questions

How long will it take to watch all of the videos.

There are 8 videos totalling just over an hour. The videos are highly clipped to remove fluff and down time, so to maximize content in a concise period of time. I recommend stopping between each video to practice the new skills.

Is this a photography course?

No. I address some the photography skills that are unique to flat-lays, but this is not a comprehensive photography course. Basic understanding of photography will help you get the most out of it.

Can I go at my own pace?

Absolutely! The course is self-paced, allowing you to learn when it suits you best. I recommend taking a break between videos to practice what you've learned.

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You'll have 12 months of access to all course content, including updates and new material.

What level is this course?

I consider this a 101 foundational course, covering the essentials of lighting and composition. Each video builds upon the previous, putting it all together in the end as we start to touch on more advanced styling.
