Wanna watch a free lesson from Photography for Life?
It’s still early in the new year.
Some people have already retired their resolutions.
Some are going all in, full force.
And some are kind of… halfway there — putting in a little effort, but just needing a small push to really get going.
If that’s you, we’ve got something for you.
A free 20-minute lesson from our new course, Photography for Life.
No cost. No pressure. Just something to help you see a little differently… and get moving again.

Comment “free lesson” and we’ll send it your way.
Your camera has thousands of photos of your kids.
But scroll back five years and tell me how many actually put you back in the moment.
That’s the difference between a snapshot and a photograph. Lanny and Erika put together a free lesson that teaches you how to make more of the second kind. Worth your time.

The FW27 instructor lineup is officially here, and it is next level!
First up we are thrilled to welcome the amazing Erika Mann from Two Mann Studios to the FW team. Based in the Canadian Rockies, Erika is known for her bold, highly sought-after documentary style that completely transcended traditional wedding photography.
Her unique perspective is shaped by years of traveling through 27 countries with her family. When she isn't capturing stunning weddings, you can find her sea kayaking or canoeing through the Yukon wilderness.
Erika is a FW alumni who became one of the most sought after wedding photographers and educators in the industry. She will be bringing loads of teaching experience to FW27 and we are so excited to see her shine in the FW environment.
FW27 applications are live with 10 spots remaining. Apply via the website. Link in bio.

If you’ve taken any of our workshops, you’ve probably heard us (repeatedly) talk about the magic of backlight against a dark background.
This is a perfect example.
Notice how the backlight on the kids lifts them cleanly off that shaded mountain behind them. In big-world / small-subject scenes like this, it’s easy for people to disappear into the landscape.
The key is contrast. Learning to see where it already exists… and then being patient enough to wait for your subject to land right in it.
Technically speaking, a relatively simple photo.
Exposed for the highlights reflected in the lake.
35mm, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/1000.
Composed so the lake is the only highlight in the frame.
The hardest part was lining up Aiden’s profile within the highlights on the water, in a gap free of intersecting branches. That meant first seeing the light, then seeing the possibility of a silhouette moving through it, then getting settings locked in, then waiting for the right moments as the kids ran by on the path. Then shooting the shit out of it.
Erika shot about 40–50 frames of four different kids walking/running the path before everything finally lined up for this one.
The second photo shows the subject in pretty much the exact same location, just from a different angle (we’ve marked where Erika was standing for the first frame).
Some images stop you mid-scroll.
This 2017 Epic Location winner by @twomannstudios did exactly that.
