Meet The Author??????????

Hey there, I’m Brendan and I’m so excited to help you finally take charge of your photography.

Learning Manual Mode is one of the biggest steps in any beginner photographers journey. Unfortunately, the reality is, taking that step from automatic to manual can feel overwhelming and flat out intimidating. Especially if you don’t know where to start. I remember being in the same shoes you’re in right now.

The trouble is, you are never able to exactly capture your creative vision if you’re letting the camera choose your settings. By shooting in automatic, you lose the creative benefits that are the key to your growth as a photographer.

Goodbye Automatic gives beginner photographers an actionable and strategic way to learn manual mode. This ebook was designed to help you connect the dots and realize manual mode isn’t as scary as it seems. Readers will not only learn to feel confident with a camera in hand, but also discover what it takes to be the true author of your images.
