What’s inside…
Stop taking “meh” iPhone photos or DSLR photos in Automatic mode that are never quite good enough. Start taking bright and beautiful images with the techniques and tips you learn in this course.
Module 1: Getting the right equipment.
You’ll learn what you need and why. Be sure to take a look at my equipment recommendations for the course below so you can get started ASAP when you sign up.
Module 2: Photography theory and getting to know your camera.
We’ll talk about shooting in manual mode including balancing the “exposure triangle” that’s made up of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Then we’ll move into getting to know the anatomy of a DSLR (in other words, what all those buttons and dials do!) so you can take that theory and start applying it in real life.
Module 3: Snapping those beautiful photos.
After getting to know your the buttons and settings on your camera along with the theory behind it, you’re ready to start snapping photos! I’ll show you how to set up your shots, what you need to do when you walk in the room, and how to choose your settings for different situations. I’ve also got a cheat sheet of “magic settings” that will take a lot of the guesswork out of shooting in manual as you’re learning the basics. Knowing what settings to start with will speed up your learning and get you better results faster.
Module 4: How to edit your photos in Photoshop.
Editing is the finishing touch for your photos. Your goal should be to take the best image you can with your camera and then enhance it with Photoshop. I’ll teach you my simple process including how to use the only seven editing tools you (really) need to know. You’ll also learn how to save and export those photos so you can use them on your website or publish them on social media (hello Instagram!).
The course will also include step-by-step videos, practice exercises, extra tips, and other goodies!

How To Shoot Interiors is an excellent course and well worth the money. In my business as an organizer and decorator of residential homes it is imperative that I am able to compose and take my own quality pictures when it is convenient for me and this course has given me that ability. This is a self-paced course and all of it is pertinent information. The highlights for me include the importance of lighting, editing in Photoshop, and naming your photos for visibility on the website. Additionally, Chaney is an excellent instructor who represents her brand well. Her responses to all of your questions are timely and thorough. I highly recommend How To Shoot Interiors.

You’ll find a list of my recommendations below with links* to the products I’ll be using to teach the course.
Camera: Canon Rebel DSLR (The T8i is the most recent model. I’ll be teaching using a combination of the T7i and the T5i, but you can use any camera from the Canon Rebel line or another DSLR.)
Wide Angle Lens: Canon EFS 10-18mm IS (Optional, but a great additional lens for tight spaces or wide room shots.)
Memory Cards (SanDisk 32GB SD Card)
Photoshop: Adobe Photography Plan ($9.99/month - includes Photoshop, which is the editing software we’ll use)
Computer: this one is up to you based on personal preference and other needs that you have, but make sure it meets the minimum requirements to run Photoshop as listed here. I use a MacBook Pro.
Photography equipment is definitely an investment, but if you’re committed to learning and developing your skills, it’s well worth it. The total cost of the equipment is around $1,000, but hiring a professional photographer for one shoot can cost that much or more.
If you already have other equipment and would like to use it, that’s fine - just know that you might have to do a little more work on your end to learn how to apply the knowledge to your specific setup. If you’re not sure what you have will work, please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have. Also, don’t forget that you can always buy or borrow a second-hand camera and upgrade in the future when you’re ready. Don’t let the cost of equipment stop you from getting started!
