Photography isn't a talent.
It's a method.
Most courses show you someone else shooting. FotoMethod teaches you the concrete mechanics behind every portrait — so you can repeat them yourself, every time.

Method-based, not shadow-based.
Most photography training is "watch me shoot and hope you pick it up." You're shadowing someone talented without learning the principles underneath.
FotoMethod is different. I've broken every topic — lighting, posing, camera control, child wrangling — into concrete, repeatable mechanics. You won't just watch me work. You'll understand why it works, so you can do it yourself in any situation.
"This is definitely more thorough than any of the other photo classes I have taken!"
