If you have ever looked at one of my images and wondered how it was made, what settings I used, or how I manage to find myself in the right place at the right time, I’ve finally put the answers in one place. After years of shooting nature, wildlife, macro insects, waterfalls, and the night sky, I’ve taken the best of what I’ve learned and built a series of photography eBooks that are now available on my Etsy store.
These guides were written to make your growth as a photographer easier and a lot more enjoyable. They are beginner friendly, but they also carry the kind of field-tested knowledge I wish I had when I first started. If you want straight talk and useful techniques without the usual gatekeeping or jargon, you’ll find it here.
What You’ll Find in the Collection
Each eBook focuses on a specific style of photography. You can choose the one that fits your interests or grab the full set and build a well-rounded skill base. Here is what’s available right now:
Macro Photography
A down-to-earth guide on how to photograph insects and wildflowers. You will learn how to work with movement, light, depth of field, and composition in tight spaces. I also cover the safety side of macro work, especially for those who are unsure about getting close to the little critters.
Bird Photography
If you want to catch tack sharp images of birds without endlessly guessing at camera settings, this guide gives you the fundamentals that actually matter. Shutter speed, approach techniques, fieldcraft, and how to read bird behavior are all covered.
Night Sky Photography
This one takes you from the basics of shooting the stars to capturing the Milky Way. You will learn how to handle long exposures, reduce noise, and plan your night shoots so you come home with the images you want.
Waterfall and Landscape Photography
A focused guide on creating powerful landscape images, including how to get soft silky water, how to choose shutter speeds, and what gear makes the biggest difference. You don’t need the most expensive setup to shoot beautiful landscapes, and this guide shows you why.
These eBooks are easy to read, packed with practical examples, and built from real experience in the field. No recycled advice. No pointless technical speeches. Just what works.
Why I Wrote These Books
Over the years, many people have asked how I shoot certain images or what techniques I rely on the most. I realized that not everyone can attend a workshop with me in person, so these eBooks became a way to share the knowledge with anyone, anywhere.
They are also a way to help new photographers skip the mistakes I made early on. If I can save you time, frustration, and money, then I’ve done my job.
Grab Your Copy on Etsy
All of the eBooks are available as instant digital downloads. Nothing to ship and nothing to wait for. You can print them, save them to your phone, or keep them with you on your next shoot.
