The Journal is a Shortcut

There are two ways to master any skill – the old long, arduous, expensive way – or the NEW faster, easier, and less expensive way.

The longer route entails investing a significant amount of your time and energy with minimal assurance of improvement.

Conversely, the easier approach leverages the expertise and experience of others, who have already gone through years of frustration.

The Journal was designed with one goal in mind: to help you level up your photography quickly and easily.

Whether it’s mastering camera settings or nailing post-processing techniques, the Journal gives you access to some of the best working wildlife photographers and the techniques they used to capture award-winning photographs.
