Phillip Haumesser

I am a Dad and husband first of all. I started taking photos of my kids in 2015 and became obsessed with photography and post-processing. I'm completely self-taught and it took me years to get where I am. My work has since been featured all around the world at places like The Huffington Post, Daily Mail, Business Insider, My Modern Met, PetaPixel, and many more. This has become an organic passion that grew into much more than a hobby. I'm asked all of the time by beginners and professionals alike for advice and training. So I decided to start making courses and classes online to teach everything I've learned and save others years of guesswork.
