The goal is simple: help you learn all you need to create the photos you want.

We can talk about settings, camera controls, composition, gear, Lightroom & Photoshop, image critiques and much more! It’s all up to you.

We can meet online, or if you’re in the Seattle-area, in-person. I’ll bring the doughnuts!

The first meeting is free! Let’s see how we will work together to get you where you want to go.

The end of the year provides an obvious opportunity for reflection. This video is the first of three videos looking back at 2021, and looking ahead to 2022. In this video, I reflect back on 11 of my favorite photos from 2021. These photos were chosen because they remind me of certain emotional or compositional themes that I think are a good summary of my experiences in 2021.

How we view limits has a huge impact on how and what we create. Instead of viewing limits as something I can't do, I prefer to view limits as a tool to help focus on what I can do. Another attitude I find helpful in addressing limits is remembering that no choice or option is ever going to be perfect, so I might as well do what I can with what I have.

Make sure to watch until the end to see some "limited" photos!

Please add your thoughts and experiences with limits in the comment section! Also, if you have limits you'd like input on, feel free to create a comment or contact me directly at: https://msladekphoto.com/contact
