You've watched the tutorials.
You still freeze up when it's time to shoot.

Sound familiar? You're not alone.
And it's not your fault.
Here's what keeps most beginners stuck.

THE PROBLEM

You spin the mode dial and hope for the best

The shot is right there. But instead of capturing it, you're second-guessing Auto vs. A versus S or M. By the time you decide, the moment's gone.

YouTube buried you in tutorials and you came out more overwhelmed than before.

Tutorials that clicked while you watched, but meant nothing when you actually had to shoot.

Your photos don’t look the way you imagined.

You had the perfect shot in your head. What came out was flat, blurry, or blown out, and you're not sure what went wrong.

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.

”What's great about Jay's highly interactive workshop is that he takes things step by step and makes sure you've got to grips with a certain technique or setting before moving on. The classes were really enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to more.”

”Jay's instruction method is so passionate and engaging without being intimidating at all. I loved the presentations and incorporation of Jay's photos into the workshops. It is really presented in an approachable way that makes it easy to understand for both novice and experienced photographers.”

- Michael Ray

”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!”
