“ Karlo has proven his excellent ability to teach photography concepts. I may be biased, but when it comes to getting photographers off auto mode, this is now the only guide I’d recommend.” – Brett Fox.
Do you feel like your camera's Auto Mode is holding you prisoner?
There is a common fear behind leaving Auto Mode and taking full control of your camera. Much of that fear is needlessly entrenched in our minds.
We all have a photography comfort zone, and it can be quite scary to push out of it. In fact, much of the time, the Auto Mode can do an O-K job — so why should we even bother?
(Great question! Let me show you)
As you can see, the more control you have, the better you’re able to translate your vision into a great photo.
But today’s cameras have numerous buttons, dials, and menu items that can overwhelm any photographer.
You may have tried books, read articles, or watched videos on how to get off Auto Mode, but all the jargon and technical explanations are still leaving you frustrated.
Maybe you’re someone who has been using Auto mode for years, just because it’s comfortable?
🤔…although at times, you wish you knew a bit more about the controls, so that you could create the shots you really wanted. Instead of letting your camera guess the settings for you.
Perhaps (like a lot of us) you find yourself using Auto Mode to just ‘keep the shot’ instead of fumbling on manual settings and eventually missing the moment?
I don’t know your story.
But I’m guessing you can relate to at least some of what I mentioned above.
Good news! Today, I’ve got something special for you. Get ready to escape the dreaded ‘Auto Mode Prison’ once and for all…

This hands-on guide is based on years of photography AND teaching experience.
Here’s the honest truth— not all great photographers make great teachers. You know why? Because teaching requires a totally different skillset! This is NOT just another eBook on photography theory.
Instead, you’ll receive plenty of hand-holding using easy-to-understand conversational language. We’ll get you up to speed with basic principles. Then give you a platform to experiment and refine your techniques. This method is the best way for you to learn photography.
Step-by-step exercises, made just for you...
You’ll find practical photography exercises & assignments, throughout the book. These are designed to familiarize you with the techniques, using a show-and-tell approach. This breakthrough approach has been proven time and again to be effective in getting students to start experimenting intuitively, with their photography.
This unique approach emphasizes deep understanding, and will make photography simple for you.
New horizontal layout. Designed for easy reading.
This guide is horizontally laid-out, which maximizes your screen area for reading (instead of the portrait orientation that most eBooks use). Paragraphs are narrower for easier reading, and diagrams/photos are used throughout to illustrate each point.
Great care has been taken to design a guide that is easy to use, elegantly crafted, and effective in teaching you photography.
132 example images, to unlock your photography super-powers!
This guide is filled with case-studies, illustrations, diagrams & comparison images. These graphics will help you understand the concepts, in an easy way. You’ll find inspiration in these pages. And you can borrow ideas & techniques to apply to your own photography.
Most importantly — Learning to ‘read’, analyze & interpret other peoples’ images is a photography super-power. When you master this, you’ll have the keys to unlock your true creative potential!

Go from this…
- Constantly comparing yourself to other photographers wondering why you just can't seem to figure it out.
- Wasting hours sorting through pages of online information–only to be left more confused about photography, than when you started.
- Feeling overwhelmed & demotivated because it doesn't feel like you're making progress with your photography.
- Being too scared to share your work because it feels like your photos aren't 'quite' good enough yet.
To this…
- Having a simple, step-by-step system for capturing beautiful photographs. A system that makes sense to you, and that you can refer back to for years to come!
- Finally developing your 'photographer's eye' and noticing creative & unique photo opportunities in ANY situation.
- Being able to look back on all of your past images that didn’t quite work, and finally understand why!
- Confidently sharing your photos with friends and family! And getting a sense of pride when they comment "WOW! How'd you get this amazing shot?!"
