It is important to note that while the course is certainly open to digital shooters, Erich shoots almost entirely on medium format film. There are a few sections in the course that apply to how Erich shoots, and will cover film, why I use it, how I use it, and other film-focused topics. There is still much to be gained by digital shooters who take this course, but I do want to make sure that it is clear that film photography will be covered.

Individuals just starting out with photography are absolutely encouraged to use this course as a launching pad for their professional wedding photography career. However, it’s important to note that while this course does include a large array of technical instructions and detail, a basic level of photography knowledge is required in order to fully grasp and utilize the information and content within the course.

The principles Erich uses to shape his success apply to everyone, whether you’re just starting out or looking to revamp and evolve your already-established work. This course is designed for three different kinds of photographers. 

1. Those who are just getting started with shooting weddings and are looking to learn and grow quickly.
2. Photographers who have recently begun shooting film and want to avoid painful and expensive mistakes.
3. Seasoned film and digital shooters who want to revamp their business and reinvigorate their love of photography and art.

Yes, absolutely. This course takes a personal journey through Erich’s teaching methods and experience. The combination of written text, video, photo, and worksheets will help you explore the concepts taught in his workshops at a much deeper level.

This course is specifically designed for people interested in wedding photography and growing a photography business. While many of Erich’s teaching methods would apply to all photographers regardless of their industry, there are large portions of the course focused on how to run and grow a photography business. An interest in working as a professional photographer is important.

This depends on where you’re at in your creative journey and the current state of your business. It also depends on what you do with the knowledge. If you apply Erich’s teachings to your photography and business, we know it has the potential to transform the way you shoot, expand your knowledge of lighting techniques and film, and elevate your portfolio to attract the clients you want. It also has the potential to drastically improve your ability to grow your business in local and destination markets, price your services for success, and find joy and fulfillment in your career.
