Carl Studna's Images have appeared in:
Rolling Stone , Time , Musician , and USA Today
Carl’s iconic photographs include His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Deepak Chopra, Genesis, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Marianne Williamson, Brian Wilson, James Brown, Jefferson Airplane, Kenny Loggins, Ram Dass, Tom Robbins, John Bradshaw, among others...
But every once in a while, you probably take one where the light and the shadows and the camera angle and the subject (even if that’s you), and everything else somehow seem to come together perfectly, and it almost looks… professional.
The problem is that you likely have no idea what you happened to do differently when you took that particular photo, so you can’t simply repeat those steps and get professional-looking shots every time.
In order to get photos from your phone that are consistently good, you’ll need to learn some tricks of trade, such as how to develop your “photographer’s eye” that lets you see good photos all around you, and how to allow your “inner light” to mix with the outer light at the moment you click the shutter.
In Carl Studna’s free Online Video Series, “The Art and Soul of Taking Better Photographs with Your Phone,” you’ll learn how to take photos (even selfies) that move people, to awe, or wonder, or laughter, or tears of sadness or joy, as well as appreciation for your photographic skill.
