Skillshare classes to take for Photography & filmmaking
Learn one new thing everyday
Hi friends! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you would know that I have a running partnership with Skillshare. I often promote them and offer free 2 month memberships on my Instagram stories. Skillshare is a service that I can genuinely endorse because I have taken quite a few of their courses myself. In fact, I learnt how to edit in Lightroom through one of their courses when I first took up photography.
The best thing about their courses is that they are short bite sized video tutorials that are easy to follow. Best of all, their courses are taught by actual photographers and filmmakers - most of which I look up to and follow on Instagram. You’ll find courses from people such as: @trashhand, @jasonmpeterson, @chrisburkard, @twheat, @jayscale and many more.
Quite a few of yew have asked me to put together a list of recommended courses to take (sorry this took so long). It can be difficult finding the right courses to take on there because there are so many. The trick is to check out the work of the teacher to see if you like / vibe with their style - and then take their course.
I’ve put together a list of Photography & filmmaking courses that I have personally taken. Of course I’d hook you up with two free months of Skillshare. You can definitely crush a bunch of courses before your trial is up. Click the link below to sign up for free:

Photography samples
Hi friends! I present to you my hands on & first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and sample photos to match). Please check out my YouTube video above if you haven’t already. Pretty excited about this update. Samsung have updated the ultra-wide 0.6x lens to it’s 50MP sensor with an improved aperture of f/1.9 which should help with resolution, sharpness and low light performance quite a bit.
