Shoot The Great Outdoors

We live in a world of incredible views. From spectacular seascapes. Enchanting woodlands. Dramatic mountains. Rolling hills. Sparkling rivers. To the beautiful morning sunrise.

This is why landscape photography is so popular and rewarding. But they are also are one of most challenging types of photography to perfect.

That’s why most photographers end up disappointed with their shots because, until now, they’ve never been shown the right way to capture these incredible views in all their glory.

Improve Mental Wellbeing

In a world of chaos, nothing beats the peace, solitude and tranquility of landscape photography and working with nature.

The smell of a forest or the fresh sea air. The cool breeze on a mountain. The pleasure of a waterfall. The sound of birds and the peace and quietness of your surroundings makes it the ultimate form of relaxation and stress relief.

This positive environment has a profound impact on your mental health and in turn, the results that you produce with your camera.

Evoke Emotions & Storytelling

While average photographers are capable of capturing great looking scenes – their photos often lack the emotion and depth that competent landscape photographers are able to achieve.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to set up your scenes so that each photo you take tells its own compelling story that evokes powerful emotions in your viewers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will this course teach me the technical aspects of landscape photography?

Yes, we assume no prior knowledge of landscape photography. Chris Sale is an accomplished teacher with the ability to break down seemingly complex topics into simple to understand steps.

You’ll discover all the camera settings to use, along with when, where, how and why you should use them. And of course, you’ll learn a whole range of photography techniques and what gear you need for breathtaking landscape photos.

Who is this landscape photography course designed for?

This course has been designed for beginner landscape photographers and keen amateurs who want to take their skills to a higher level.

Whatever ‘level’ you are at, by taking this course your landscape photos will improve significantly and you’ll be a happier, more satisfied photographer!

Where was the landscape course filmed?

This course is made up of a series of landscape photography classes that were each professionally filmed around the famous Lake District National Park, which was the home of Beatrix Potter and contains some of the most spectacular views in the UK!

Each location was carefully selected, not only to teach you specific landscape camera techniques, but also to expose you to landscape photography in all its raw glory.

From watching and learning how Chris plans and prepares for a trip, to understanding his thought process behind finding perfect locations, through to dealing with the elements!

These are things that amateurs often overlook and are lessons that are very difficult to teach in landscape photography books.

Through this course, you’ll get to see Chris and the team in action, while he shares with you everything he knows.

What kind of camera and equipment do I need for landscape photography?

Ideal cameras and equipment are covered throughout the course. However, we understand that most beginners and amateurs do not have access to thousands of dollars worth of kit.

Therefore the course delivers plenty of realistic and budget-friendly advice for achieving spectacular results with minimalist gear.

An entry-level DSLR or Mirrorless camera (and standard kit lens) would be enough to follow-along to this course.

There is even a special module that teaches you how to shoot incredible landscape shots just using your Smartphone!

Will this course apply to the landscape in my country?

This course was filmed in the diverse outdoors and unpredictable climate of the UK, but the country is irrelevant because these classes cover all of the major location types that are found in almost all countries.

From mountains, lakes, streams, the sea, sunsets, forests, hills and more.

I'm an experienced photographer, do I really need photography classes in landscape?

Landscape photography is different to other genres of photography in that you’re dealing with the elements and often different surroundings.

Chris Sale has mentored many professional photographers who were great photographers, but not knowledgeable about landscape photography in particular.

We believe strongly that we have created the best online landscape photography course available and it will truly benefit people of all abilities, from beginners through to experienced photographers.
