David Suh – How to Be Photogenic in 30 Days

What’s the curriculum?

Ooh you better get ready to learn because you are about to learn quite a bit in this course!

Week 1: Re-defining Photogenic & Beauty
Learn how to see your beauty in a way you never saw before and gain a mindset that helps you use photos as a way self-expression.

Week 2: Becoming a Model
This is when we really get down with the technicalities! Be ready to MOVE with me because we going to more bones you didn’t know you had. You’ll be learning my definition of posing, why it makes it more sustainable and accessible to anyone, how to never run out of poses, how to find your angles, and how to get comfortable in front of the camera.

Week 3: Becoming a Photographer
You’re learning to become a little mini-me as a photographer and being prescribed a photographer lens to look through. You’ll learn about lighting, how it affects the whole mood, how to find flattering light, how to look for the right background, and how background can actually tie in with modeling to give you even more poses.

Week 4: Putting it All Together
This is the moment we’ve been all waiting for – the final countdown. You’ll meet your biggest challenge yet in this week (which I won’t spoil) and you get to watch the 3 live students tackle it first before you have to for your week’s mission. It truly puts everything you learned to the test.

Week 5: Editing 
In the last week, we end off with learning about everything editing on the phone and I walk you through 3 different edits.

Where do we access the course?

You’ll be receiving a welcome email once you purchase the course and in that email will be your access to the platform we’ll be using called Circle. This is where everything will be held! The pre-recorded classes themselves, the Live Office Hours, to the week’s Missions, Mission Feedbacks, and even the whole community will be there as well.

Where is the community hosted? 

The community will be hosted where everything else will be hosted like the course videos you’ll be watching and the Live Office Hours you’ll be attending! You’ll receive a welcome email once you purchase the course and it’ll prompt you to create a login for the platform, Circle, we’re using. Actually, one of the first few things I suggest you to do is to introduce yourself once you get in!

Does this course cover DSLR camera basics?

This course was designed to be taught with the simplest camera in mind: your phone so you actually never see a “real” camera on set! If you want to learn about DSLR camera basics, check out my Photography 101 Course!

How much time do you recommend spending each week on this course to maximize learning? 

I would say at least 5 hours a week over the 5-week course. Of course, everyone’s technical levels are different, so it might take you shorter or longer.

Here’s how I would break down the 5 hours a week:
Weekly Lessons: 40-minutes
Mission of the Week: 2-hours
Live Office Hour: 1-hour
Study Session: 1-hour
Making friends/asking questions in the community: 30-minutes

Total time: approximately: 25 hours

Why is the course $899?

I thought really hard about the amount of education you receive with the course. I designed the golden experience for this course would spend approximately 21 hours over the 5-week course which comes to $36 per hour.

Another way to think about it is, my hourly rate for a photoshoot is $600/hr and that’s without any photos. That’s about a 1-hour photoshoot with me and I gotta say… this course is a much better way to learn from me <3”
