What happens when you combine decades of experience, blunt honesty, and a love for teaching? You get Garry Hill — the no-nonsense educator who’s made it his mission to help photographers stop “polishing the turd” and start getting it right in camera.
Join us as we unpack what really makes an image usable, sellable, and printable.
With so much of today’s photography education happening on TikTok (cheers, influencers with ring lights), Garry makes a compelling case for why technical knowledge still matters. This isn’t about following rules for the sake of it.
It’s about understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing, not just copying what someone else does and hoping for the best. No more “This is just what I do… I don’t know why, but it works.”
We run through a short slide deck covering:
- 3 x Lighting patterns made simple
- Skin tone perfection (yes, that grey card still matters)
- Colour correction without the guesswork
- Why light meters aren’t dead
- Posing that flatters and actually sells
This is practical, no-fluff advice to tighten up your shooting, save hours in post, and deliver work your clients will proudly hang on their walls.
We also breaks down the difference between the spray-and-pray approach vs. shooting with intention and how that choice affects your time, your confidence, and your bottom line.
Whether you’re brand new or have been winging it for years, this chat is your permission slip to slow down, skill up, and create work that’s truly usable, sellable, and printable right from the shutter click.
