Why can we spot a great photo but find it difficult to capture one?
Why do we over complicate a process that can be summed up with a push of button? The key to taking a good photo isn’t the subject matter, it’s not in the type of equipment you use or the location setup for the shot. The key to taking a good photo is the discovering your personal point of view and identifying the ‘thing’ that hides in plain sight; this is the ‘artist eye’. A Room for Improvement will teach you how to see like an artist and further your exploration into the art form of photography.
To shoot a world-class photo, your eyes must be familiar with the elements that make a photo world-class. Great musicians can hear the rhythm in everyday life. Great writers know that everyone has a story to tell. Great photos are happening all around you, and you’re missing them because you haven’t trained your eye.
I’ve spent the last 20 years working in photography, painting, sculpting and architecture – having a multidisciplinary approach allows for better photo taking. The more curious you are, the more things you learn and experience, the better the eye becomes. You have experiences that will aid you in your artistic journey with this program.
Using my work as reference we will discuss vision, approach, tools and techniques of photography. I will teach you how to take great pictures with any camera, from your cell phone to your Leica. Armed with a camera, a pen, a pad, and your desire to improve – I will transform your photography by changing the way you see the world around you.

Peter Blandino –
The course is excellent in helping you think about light in a different way. Adam offers techniques that you can practice and sets the expectation about starting simple and then build forward. This is the 1st course in a 3 part series. I saw it last and would have preferred to see it first.
Jene Paul Cain –
Helpful reminders in making good images.
Robert Bein –
It’s starting slow but I will give it time.
Elvy Samuel –
Examples used and information covered is clear and relevant.
Gregory Douds –
This is a great philosophical discussion of beginner photography. Without the philosophy, the art is lost.
Gyalbo Bhutia –
The fundamental difference between art and Photography is explained in most simple manner yet it hits the bull eye to the receiver.
Lucie Velterop Von Leyden –

I watched Adam’s introductory video for this course and bought this and everything else instantly.
Jesus. This guy is highly talented, intelligent, articulate and a great communicator. You can tell that he has deeply thought about his craft.
The fact that you can pay peanuts to spend time listening to this guy unfold his ideas is insane.
The course is fairly high-level & abstract. It’s principles-based. But it’s also mixed in with concrete examples & specifics.
If you want me to sum it up: drawing & artistic creation is an additive process, while photography as an artistic process is a subtractive. Master simple shots first, cultivating strong fundamentals in seeing lighting and subject relationships.
