The must-have course to nail photography in just 6 weeks! All you have to do is...
Start Where You Are!
My signature course is where it all started, taught by me, Laura Carly Adams, founder of Lens11 and photographer!
1200+ graduates can now slay manual mode, many of which now own flourishing photography businesses. Your epic, life-changing transformation could be next...
On 'Start Where You Are' you'll learn:
-1-
Master your camera and shoot in the only mode that matters - MANUAL!
Unleash your creative potential as I guide you through the exposure triangle, empowering you to take control of your shots with intention and precision. Shooting in manual mode is the key to unlocking a realm of artistic possibilities, enabling you to take pictures that WOW!
-2-
Photography techniques to take pictures that you've long imagined!
We go beyond the basics to master composition, lighting, and framing - it's not just technical - it's how pictures make you feel. This course transforms your visual imagination into stunning, tangible imagery, making it more than just a course – it's a journey into your unique perspective.
-3-
Develop your photographer vision, gain zest for life and be supported by the best girl gang ever!
We encourage a personal and artistic exploration that extends beyond the lens. Join a community of like-minded women, fostering creativity, empowerment, and lasting connections. 'Start Where You Are' isn't just about photography - it's about embracing a lifestyle that celebrates the way you see the world, supported by an incredible girl gang.
What do you need to get stuck into Start Where You Are?
-
Camera Equipment: Ideally, a DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual settings capability is required (you need a 'M' on your dial basically). On SWYA, we shoot with what we have, and embrace the creativity that a kit lens for example brings!
-
Access to Lightroom Mobile on your phone: This app is free and a great starting point for our editing workshops in Week 4 and 5, and you can decide to go further with Lightroom if you want.
-
An Open Mind That Welcomes Mistakes: I know this sounds mad but those that embrace mistakes, and hurry along to make them, will go far in photography (and life!)
- A Thirst to Joyfully Learn and Connect With Fabulous Women: Lens World is a space for you to lose yourself in creation, build confidence and fly. Throw yourself into learning something new and you'll reap the insane rewards!
"It's time to joyfully learn, make incredible connections and appreciate how beautiful your world is."
Hey there, I'm Legs 11, the founder behind Lens Eleven! I was once lost in the bingo halls of life, but I found my true calling 8 years ago, when two big things happened - my first child was born, and I picked up a camera to capture him! It took me forever to navigate the manual mode maze, but through perseverance and passion, I turned my hobby into a thriving business.
I set up Lens 11 to pass on this wisdom, my energy and give you everything you to percolate your photographer vision! On this course, you'll not only learn how to take pictures you've long imagined, you'll start believing in yourself. That's where the magic truly is!
