Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this course.
Who is this Masterclass for?
This Masterclass is for anyone who loves photography and wants to grow their confidence and creativity - whether you’re a beginner feeling overwhelmed by gear and settings, or an experienced photographer looking to simplify your process and refine your style.
Is this course only for photographers?
Not at all.
While the lessons are rooted in photography, the tools and practices I share - from vision boards to creative confidence and wellbeing rituals - are valuable for anyone who feels visually, creatively, or even financially blocked. If you want to reconnect with your creativity and learn to see with fresh eyes, this Masterclass is for you.
How long do I keep access?
Forever. It's a one-time payment of €399 with lifetime access, on desktop, tablet or phone.
Do I need past photography experience?
Absolutely not.
This Masterclass is beginner-friendly and focuses on natural light, simple gear, and intention. Each step is designed to help you build confidence and creativity - no technical expertise required.
How do I get commissioned by Condé Nast Traveller or other travel magazines?
Build a consistent, relevant portfolio and pitch the right editor. In the masterclass, CNT's Karin Mueller explains how she judges a photographer in three frames, and I share how I select and submit my work.
How do you photograph hotel interiors with natural light?
I use a three-step method: Scout, Style, Shoot. The interiors module shows it on real hotel and villa shoots in Mallorca, including styling with Namali Schleberger of Soul Escapes.
How is this different from MasterClass, Udemy or Domestika courses?
It's taught by a photographer who still shoots for Condé Nast Traveller, FT, Elle Docor and more and it focuses on one niche: editorial travel, hotel and interior photography. It also covers the business side, from pitching to client contracts.
Do I need expensive equipment?
Not at all.
I work with natural light and just 2, maximum 3 lenses.
You’ll learn how to achieve professional results with minimal equipment, so you can focus on vision, storytelling, and creativity.
No iPads, no tethering to laptop, no strobes or studio lights. I keep it very simple.
How is the course structured?
The Masterclass has 6 modules, 29 video lessons and over 8 hours of video: Travel & Lifestyle, Natural Light Interiors, Mindfulness & Law of Attraction, Conversations on Seeing (interviews with Condé Nast Traveller, OKU Hotels, Vestige Collection and Tom Parker), Lightroom Workflow, and a Business Q&A with a 33-page workbook and client contract template.
What is your refund policy?
All sales are final.
Because this is a digital product with immediate access, I’m unable to offer refunds.
Please read the course details carefully before purchasing to ensure it aligns with what you’re seeking. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help you choose the right path for your growth.
I'm already a working photographer. What will I learn that's new?
How editorial commissions actually work. You'll hear from Condé Nast Traveller's visuals directors Matt Buck and Karin Mueller, OKU Hotels' head of brand and Vestige Collection's head of branding, and get my contract template and pitching process.
What software do you use to edit your images?
I work primarily in Adobe® Lightroom Classic for my professional workflow.
You’re also welcome to use Lightroom CC or the Lightroom Mobile App if you prefer a simpler setup.
For more advanced retouching, I occasionally integrate Photoshop® - though most of my magic happens in Lightroom.
Do I need a specific camera?
No specific brand required. All you need is a camera with manual mode (“M” on the dial).
Most DSLR and mirrorless cameras (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus) will be perfect.
If you’re a true beginner, I’ll guide you so you feel confident using whatever you have.
Will you share your exact camera settings?
Yes! You’ll see everything in real time. As I shoot, my camera settings are displayed live on screen, so you can follow along and understand exactly how and why I approach each scenario. You’ll be able to study the real settings behind every shot and learn how to adapt them for your own work.
Will we learn editing?
I’ve included a BONUS editing video that takes you step-by-step through my full process. From importing files into Lightroom, to developing and refining each image, to exporting final files for clients.
You’ll learn my clean, intuitive workflow so you can confidently edit with clarity and consistency.
