Capturing the Perfect Candid Moment Every Time — portrait skills for the road
The gist: A tight, practical video course for travelers who want to stop taking stiff tourist photos and start shooting portraits that actually look natural.
- Bite-sized format: 13 segments totaling 115 minutes — easy to work through on a long-haul flight or a slow travel day.
- Directing from both sides of the lens: Andrew Kearns covers posing and directing, while co-creator Sonora MindWerl adds a model's-perspective take on what actually makes a subject relax.
- Location scouting built in: includes an Andrew Kearns Iceland location guide, useful for anyone shooting portraits against dramatic landscapes on the move.
- Faster editing: a Lightroom shortcuts cheat sheet for color-correcting and stitching wide images without relying on canned presets.
EditingCorp's roundup of budget photography courses features it, with one reviewer calling it "absurdly helpful" for understanding portrait direction.
Best for: nomads who photograph fellow travelers, hosts, or locals and want portraits that feel candid rather than posed. Skip it if: you shoot mostly landscapes or need in-depth Lightroom training beyond the shortcuts covered here. Runs ~$25 — check the current price before buying.
