I've helped beginners go from confused to confident since 1996

I'm Jay Alonzo, a photography coach based in Abu Dhabi. I work one-on-one with beginners who feel exactly the way you do right now: overwhelmed by settings, frustrated by inconsistent results, and unsure where to even start.

I created these cheat sheets because camera modes are the #1 thing that trips beginners up. Clear logic across every sheet. No jargon. You'll know which mode to pick before you raise the camera.

One of my students, Anton Pia Ranjo, started from scratch. He went on to win first place in a prestigious UAE photography competition, taking home AED 50,000. It starts with the fundamentals. And this is yours, free.

”I spent an afternoon photographing a small boy on his skateboard trying stop his action. He was a willing subject which made it easy to try and try again with the different settings we learned in class that week! Seeing his little face glow when I showed him I caught it was my payoff!”
