Learn how to find and tell stories on social media using your camera, from planning and shooting to editing in Lightroom

"Images are capable of speaking to a person in a way that words cannot." For Hannes Becker, landscape and outdoor photographer, visual storytelling is the most important tool at our disposal for establishing an emotional connection with our audience. Thanks to his art, he's managed to build a community of more than 1.7 million followers on Instagram. In this online course, he shows you that any place you stumble upon is home to an infinite number of stories just waiting to be told through images.

Take your photography to the next level and learn to incite emotions from behind the lens. Hannes teaches you to identify a narrative thread and play with both perspective and composition. He then guides you through the planning, preparation, and production phases of your photoshoot, as well as the final editing. By the end of the course, you'll have created a series of expressive photographs with a clear narrative thread to publish on social media or add to your portfolio.

Landscape and Outdoor Photographer

Hannes Becker is a freelance landscape and outdoor photographer. Having grown up in rural Germany, his interest in nature and the tranquility of remote settings was kindled from a young age. Although his work is largely centered around adventure stories and capturing unique natural scenes, it is not of a solely documental nature, but also left partly open to personal interpretation.

In 2014, he began sharing his pieces on Instagram and, since then, has become one of the most followed travel photographers in the world. Today he shares his art with more than 1.7 million Instagram followers and has worked both in front of and behind the camera for big-name clients like Barbour, Mercedes-Benz, Samsung, and Panerei.
