If you haven’t already heard, my friend Michelle Joy Photo and I recently relaunched our education brand, The Second Shooter Society! This is education for beginning wedding photographers and second shooters alike. Whether you’re brand new to weddings or a few years in, we have content that will be perfect for you!

One of my favorite items in the shop is our manual mode guide. When I was first learning how to use my camera, I struggled so much with learning manual mode. I didn’t realize that it was just s a simple relationship triangle between shutter speed, ISO and aperture.

I wish that I had a guide like this one when I was first starting out because I would have grasped the concept SO much faster! We provide in-depth explanations of all of the different settings, as well as a variety of examples so that you can quickly master your camera settings and set them in a way that is consistent with your desired style. Go ahead and check it out for yourself!
