MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR


I’m Evan Ranft, a professional photographer, content creator, and educator based in Atlanta, GA. Over the past decade, I’ve built a career around photography, growing an audience of over 500,000+ followers across my social media accounts and working with my dream brands like Toyota, Heineken, and most recently, Honda at CES 2025.

But it didn’t start that way.

When I picked up a camera 10 years ago, I made all the classic mistakes: tacky oversaturated edits, rushed camera settings that hurt my images, and boring one-dimensional compositions. Like many beginners, I thought I “knew enough”... until I realized I didn’t.

Everything changed when I refined my editing process, learned to truly understand my camera, and started developing my eye for composition. That’s when my photography and my career began to take off.

The exact principles that helped me go from amateur to full-time photographer are what I teach inside this course.

It’s the shortcut I wish I had when I started and now it’s yours.
