The perfect next step... to take your photography to the next level!

Photography Course

Advanced

Our Advanced Photography Course is the perfect way to continue the momentum of the Enthusiast Course.

Through 10 weeks, we'll continue with creativite and technical lessons and challenges designed to push you out of your comfort zone and to taking photos you'd never imagine you could!

With 2 weeks for each set of challenges, you'll have more time to give things a go.

PLUS you get 1:1 feedback on all your images, with no limits per challenge, so you can get feedback and then tweak and progress as you go... so you can find and develop your style as a photographer.

We run our Advanced Courses in Mar and Sep each year, and this is your opportunity to secure your place (& get a fantastic sale rate + bonuses that are only available as a newest grad)

Ready for the next step?

You've switched to manual mode on your digital camera, woohoo!

And now you're ready to take the next steps!

You want to create beautiful images, and you're ready to be pushed outside your comfort zone to find your own style.

And you're keen to step things up, to dive in further, receive deeper level 1:1 feedback on your photos and to start taking seriously jaw-dropping photos.

Even if you don't feel 'creative'.... even if you don't feel 'ready'... this course is designed to walk you through the techniques to ramp up your skills in the same easy to follow as the Enthusiast Course...

...with even more of our CLG feedback and support.

The course will help you develop your confidence and technical skills while finding your own style...

+ Increase YOUR Confidence

You’ll be working your camera like a pro, adeptly using the light, and manipulating your settings to perfection.

The end result? Stop-you-in-your-tracks shots that look like an expert snapped ‘em! Most importantly, your confidence will grow from receiving expert 1:1 feedback so you know exactly where to focus your improvements.

+ Build Essential Technical Skills

It’s one thing to know the theory of good composition and technique. It’s another to develop the taste and style to bring your own individual flair to the creative process.

We’re going to be fast-tracking your ‘expert eye’ – and your ability to spot a great shot – through group feedback, live Q&A’s, and 1:1 and peer-to-peer critiques.

+ DEVELOP An Expert Eye

When it comes to the nitty-gritty of mastering photography, so many books and resources spend ages debating the tiniest differences between lenses and shutter speeds.

In this course, we strip away all the stuff that bogs people down and just give you the expert strategies that are most relevant and that have the biggest impact on your images.

Wow! What an amazing course!

The lessons and videos are fun and super easy to follow along with, but by far the best part is the wonderfully supportive group of teachers and students to help you along the way.

When you are trying something new and have a thousand questions or you just want people to see your new favourite shot, this group of talented ladies are always there with love, support and advice.

Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to take their photography to the next level!

I am soooo happy that I found the Click Love Grow Advanced Photography Course! I totally loved it and I learned so much!

The lessons are easy to understand and the challenges made me get out of my comfort zone and try new things. I love the way the class was taught with the Q&A sessions during which Lou answered any questions we had. I love the examples that were given.

What I loved most about the class (and it’s truly hard to pick just one because I loved ALL of it and wish it hadn’t ended), was the feedback given by Lou, Pam and the other students. It really helped me improve my photography!

I was so so nervous before starting the Advanced Course, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! This course is set for all levels and all different strengths, whether it is in portraits, landscape, macro, food, or just your own family that you want to capture the best you can. I loved the support I received and the ladies doing the course were like angels and inspirational, who both encouraged and directed me when needed.

I want to encourage you, if you have wanted to take the next step in your photography journey but are a little scared, or just don’t put your wants out there, take the leap! I am so glad I decided it was ok to do something for me and have grown so much from it.

How does this course differ from the Enthusiast Course?

Our initial courses were all about jumping out of ‘auto’ and learning about the importance of composition, light and the exposure triangle so we can shoot in manual mode. Our Advanced Course is all about taking that next step, and really starting to bring your creative vision to life. The lessons and challenges will help you gain even more confidence in shooting, we’ll cover a wider range of scenarios, and we’ll learn how to really manipulate our tools and circumstances to get the desired shot.

I'm still not 100% confident in manual mode yet, can I still take this course?

Yes! Absolutely! This course will be focused on refreshing our manual settings and looking at extra technical tools to help you master them and learn to nail exposure in a wide range of scenarios. The challenges are designed to increase your confidence shooting in manual mode and push you to improve in all aspects of photography.

Will I have access to the materials after the course?

Yes! Once the course has finished, you’ll have lifetime access to all the materials and videos so that you can refer to them at any time.

What equipment will I need to do this course?

This course goes into a lot more technical detail than our previous courses, so I would recommend a DSLR to get the most value from our lessons. I also recommend that you have access to either Lightroom or Photoshop (Elements is great) to complete our post-processing lesson.

I've never taken a Click Love Grow course before... Can I still join in?

Yes! If you feel that our Enthusiast Course is perhaps a little too beginner for your skill set, then this course is for you! If you’re comfortable shooting in manual mode, but are ready to go to the next level in advancing your skills, and discovering just how to create gorgeous photos through skills such as understanding composition, lighting and post processing, then this course is for you, and we’re excited to welcome you into the Click Love Grow community!

A little more about me...

Ten years ago, I was a complete newbie at photography. When my eldest was born, I was so excited to capture all those amazing newborn moments. I bought myself a fancy camera and started snapping away – but I quickly found that it wasn’t quite that easy!

Fast-forward a few years of intense study and experience, and I eventually became a professional photographer, and I’ve been lucky enough to photograph all sorts of subjects, in gorgeous locations. But even more than being behind the lens, I love empowering women to take their own beautiful photos, so they can capture their special memories for themselves.

I’ve now guided thousands of graduates through my signature photography courses, and am continually blown away by their incredible images and the way their confidence behind the camera soars. It’s truly a privilege to be able to share this wisdom and watch our graduates go from strength to strength.

I was honestly terrified before starting the Advanced Course!

I was a very amateur photographer and I was in awe of the standard of so many of the other students, but it was a fabulous experience.

The Advanced Course pushed me far outside my comfort zone and encouraged me to be much more thoughtful and creative in what I was shooting. I have learnt to wait for the right light, to persist when I know there is a great photo in front of me and to see more of the subtlety and detail in every scene. Louise and Pam are wonderful at guiding and explaining photography in simple terms and I was stunned at the amazing support and encouragement of everyone else in the course no matter what standard you start at.

Thanks to the CLG Courses I am so much more confident, and I am loving learning more every time I pick up my camera. I cannot wait to use all this new knowledge next time we travel.

Completing the Advanced Photography Course completely changed me right from the beginning.

I had put my camera down and forgotten about it until the day I signed up to the course.

I have so much fire in my belly to continue with what I love….photography.

After joining Click Love Grow's Enthusiasts course, my photographs and knowledge were climbing mountains, my photographs were gaining attention and I fell in love with manual mode (& I've never switched back to auto from the onset).

Then I went on to experience the wonderful Advanced Course and it was exactly what I needed, a little more out of my comfort zone, just enough to push me to find I was actually right where I wanted to be, in a bigger, better zone that quickly become my world. I have now started photographing family portraits, tiny fast moving insects and even a few weddings. I'm winning honours in competitions. All the credit goes to Click Love Grow!

Tracy SmiT

The biggest improvement in my photography since the advanced course is understanding lighting & exposure, such as how to use light in creative ways to produce lovely photos. I now understand how to create high & low key shots, avoid unflattering light and use different lighting techniques to create different effects for my photos.

The course delivery was great & I could access it when it suited me. The online tutorials & the Q&A sessions were great also. If something wasn't quite sinking in I could watch the tutorial or ask questions to help me understand the skill/technique. Thanks Lou and Pam

Ann-Maree Jolley

After completing the Click Love Grow Enthusiasts' Course, I wanted to push myself and take my photography to the next level.

I was full of self-doubt and worry that I wasn't good enough to take on the Advanced Course. After all, I'd only bought my DSLR mid-way through the Enthusiasts' course and was still getting to grips with the camera. And there were others who took way better photos than I did! But I wanted to improve my skills as a photographer, and I knew the CLG Advanced Course would offer me a wellpaced option in an extremely friendly and supportive environment under the awesome tutelage of Louise Glendon. A place where I would be safe among friends to put my work out there for constructive critique. I'm so glad I took this step and kept the momentum going. My photographic skills have increased tenfold.
