FAQ
Do I need experience for the Smartphone Photography Transformation Program?
The courses within the Smartphone Transformation Program assume no prior knowledge. It has been designed to cater to and support everyone from absolute beginners with zero experience, to keen amateurs and even professionals looking to advance their photo compositions. If you enjoy taking photos on your smartphone and want to explore the hobby of photography, then you're in the right place!
The topics include photographic intention, storytelling, composition, how to capture tack-sharp photos and of course mobile editing. Furthermore, as your photography craft develops, you will receive as much enjoyment in supporting other mobile photographers.
How are the program and video lessons delivered?
You will receive a username and password via e-mail where you can access the membership area of the website. This gives you the ability to log in with any device and watch the courses and join the forum anywhere at any time and at your own pace.

Video lessons are available to watch online as many times as you like, anywhere you like... whilst you have an active membership. The training is delivered in a sequence to build on previous lessons. However, depending on your previous experience, it's 100% up to you in what order you watch the course.

What if have an older smartphone, iPad, tablet or dedicated camera?
That's ok. You do not need to wait until that flash new phone to take full advantage of the training within the membership. It is not about the camera. The Smartphone Photography Club is not even about producing incredible, beautiful images. It is about learning, experimenting with techniques and developing your creativity - not the perfect photo result.
I’m not 100% sure what the Club is or if it's right for me, do you offer a trial?
