BEFORE WE EXPLORE HOW JORD CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AND EDITING, LET'S LOOK BACK TO 2016 WHEN JORD'S PHOTOS LOOKED LIKE THIS:

HEY, I'M JORD, AND MY STORY BEGAN IN CHINA...

Ever since I spontaneously moved to China to teach English in 2015, I have been obsessed with photography. I traveled to so many diverse and beautiful places in the year that I lived there - places that I never knew existed...

Like the rice terraces of Yunnan Province, which we stumbled across online whilst making plans for Chinese New Year. Before we knew it, we were on a flight to the south of the country, followed by a taxi, two buses, a minibus and another taxi. After a whole day of travel, we arrived at Yuanyang Rice Terraces.
Waking up the next morning to photograph the sunrise and walking out of our guesthouse onto the water filled terraces, with fog rolling over from the nearby hills, was to this day my favourite memory from China.

After this trip, all I wanted to do was share these landscapes with people around the world, in the hope that they would be inspired to take a leap of faith and travel to somewhere unknown.

My weeks and months thereafter were planned around the cheapest domestic flight, train or bus so that I could explore and photograph as much of the unknown, rural parts of China as possible, and pretty soon I realised I couldn’t see myself doing anything other than taking photos.

I WANTED TO BECOME A TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER, AND I WAS GOING TO FIND ANY WAY I COULD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

So, I quit my job and traveled through asia...

...For as long as my bank account would allow. Scrolling through Instagram as I travelled to seek inspiration and experiencing some of the incredible photos and art that was on the platform pushed me to not give up on my dream of becoming a professional travel photographer. And so, the more I learned and grew as a photographer, the more I became obsessed with it.

The journey from the 22-year-old guy that photographed his way through China with a Canon 700D, a kit lens and 500 followers on Instagram to where I am today has been the most amazing yet challenging experience of my life.

WHY AM I TELLING YOU ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY? TO REMIND YOU THAT WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE...

After months of travelling through Asia, watching the money I had saved disappear out of my bank account quicker than ever, I found myself in Myanmar. 

I still wasn't earning any money from photography at this point, and my partner and I were seriously considering moving back to China to save some more money and try again the following year.

On one of my last days in Bagan, I stumbled upon a private photoshoot inside a temple, and the photographer inside was kind enough to invite me to join the shoot with him and the two monks. I was so excited. These were by far some of the best photos I had ever taken...

Little did I know at the time, but as soon as I pressed 'post' on Instagram, that photo was about to change my life:

It was the first shot of mine that went “viral” on Instagram. 
I was contacted by newspapers, magazines and media outlets who all wanted to feature the photo.
My Instagram grew by a few thousand followers overnight. 

And it was only then I realised that photography could potentially, just maybe, become my job if I worked really, really hard. 

WITH A BIT OF PERSISTENCE AND AN UNDENIABLE OBSESSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY, MY PASSION TURNED INTO WHAT YOU SEE TODAY.

Since then, I’ve photographed remote villages in northern Vietnam, marvelled at the futuristic city of Dubai, driven my motorbike all over Bali whilst I was stuck there during the pandemic, and met some incredible locals along the way, too.

AND On top of all the mind-blowing places I’ve been lucky enough to explore, I have also worked with brands I had once only dreamed of... 

And while it might seem hard to imagine, I’m just a very normal guy who picked up a camera and started learning along the way. 

I WANT TO SHARE ALL THAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR WITH YOU, so THAT you can become AN INCREDIBLE TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER, too.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE TRAVEL PHOTOS LIKE THESE?

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

The past couple of years have really put your photography hobby on the back burner, and you've picked up a new Netflix hobby instead...
You've got into a bit of a rut after the pandemic, and it shows in your Instagram page. Your growth is perhaps slower than you’d like, and you’re reaching fewer people than you had hoped, which can of course be disheartening when photography is something you love and something you may want to turn into a career one day. 
So you blame the algorithm, and don't see the point in pouring time and effort into your photography anymore...
We've all been here. But take it from me, putting less time into your photography and editing (even though you absolutely love it) is not going to get you better results. Nothing changes if nothing changes, my friend. 
And even if you want to put more time into photography, you think the travel photography market is so oversaturated and your work will never get the attention it deserves...
Wrong! There is so much room for great travel photographers. Instagram is saturated with average photographers, but there aren't a lot of good ones. And the demand for great photographers is higher than ever at the moment. I worked hard to be one of the best, and you can too. The only thing stopping you is you.
You've already tried to make your work stand out from the crowd by finding your unique style and niche, but it's harder than it looks and you don't seem to fit in anywhere...
I’m a firm believer in keeping your photos and Instagram feed consistent and individualised. You want someone to look at a photo and recognise it’s yours without needing to see who took it. When you start to get client work, they will want the photos you submit to have “your look”, and that’s why they’ll hire you - so it’s no good if they all look different. That’s why I’m going to teach you exactly how to create your signature look and develop your own style.
And let's not forget editing... you've probably spent days (and nights) on Lightroom and Photoshop with the help of YouTube tutorials but you still don't like the final result...
I've been there too... I am one of the biggest perfectionists you will ever meet. Seriously. I always want to produce the best quality work possible, and it’s so important to do so to stay ahead of the game. When I was starting out, I just could not get my photos to look exactly how I wanted them to - BUT with what I’m going to teach you, you’ll never be caught in that rut. 

IF ANY OF THOSE SCENARIOS ABOVE HIT CLOSE TO HOME, DON'T WORRY! I'M HERE TO HELP...

Imagine how much easier it would be if you had all the secret hacks, time-saving techniques and professional industry-quality information all in one place...

Imagine being able to approach a location with your dream shot in mind, pull out your camera and know exactly how to frame and capture the photo. No mucking around with settings, no guessing what to do with the lighting. You just “know” instinctively what to do in the moment...

Imagine opening Lightroom on your laptop and having a clear idea of the editing process you need to implement to make that photo pop, whilst keeping your unique creative flare...

YOU'RE IN LUCK, BECAUSE I’VE CREATED A COMMUNITY OF PHOTOGRAPHERS JUST LIKE YOU...

We improve our photography and editing skills together, and cheers eachother on along the way. Not to mention, and you can reach out to me personally in the group any time you get a little stuck or feel free to just come and show everyone the incredible shots you’re taking with all the new skills you’re learning. Either way, it’s our private tribe and there’s a spot waiting for you to join us. 

JUST PICTURE YOURSELF GOING OUT TO SHOOT AND BEING TRULY PROUD OF THE CONTENT YOU PRODUCED ONCE YOU'VE EDITED IT ALL. 

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AND EDITING SKILLS WILL IMPROVE SO MUCH THAT PRETTY SOON, YOUR DREAM OF WORKING AS A FULL TIME TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER WILL BECOME A REALITY

I decided to put absolutely everything I have learnt about travel photography and editing over the past 7 years into one, easy to follow online course to help you take your photography from 0 to 100.

When I say, “everything”, I mean literally everything.

FAQ's

I'M A BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHER. IS THE TPA 2.0 THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME?

Yes! This course is for all skill levels, from beginner to intermediate/advanced photographers. 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TPA AND THE TPA 2.0?

The TPA 2.0 is a brand new photography and editing course - all new everything. I created the original TPA in 2019/2020, and a lot has changed with my photography and editing since then, so I completely refilmed the entire course, and it's better than ever!

I'M PRETTY BUSY AT THE MOMENT WITH OTHER COMMITMENTS - IS THERE A TIME LIMIT TO COMPLETE THE COURSE IN?

Nope! Once you enroll in the course, you’ll have lifetime access so you can watch the course whenever you want, however many times you want. 

IS THE COURSE LIVE OR CAN I WATCH IT IN MY OWN TIME?

You can watch the course in your own time as it's all pre-recorded. The only live aspect is the monthly live shows, but these will be recorded if you miss them. 

DOES IT MATTER IF I DON'T HAVE A CAMERA YET?

Not at all! The TPA 2.0 can be applied to phone photography, and if you're looking to buy your first camera but haven't jumped the gun just yet, then Module 2 might just help you to decide which gear to buy!

IS THERE A WAY OF CONTACTING YOU JORD IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

When you join the course, you’ll be added to a private course Facebook group with me and all the other course members, so any questions you have you can use the group to ask me/other members 

AM I REQUIRED TO SHOOT IN THE FIELD WITH YOU?

As much as I would love to have every single one of you come out to Bali and shoot with me, unfortunately it's just not possible. The in-the-field lessons in this course are virtual, meaning I have filmed them whilst out shooting, and you get to watch them from the comfort of your own home. No travel required.

DO YOU HAVE A REFUND POLICY?

Yes! You have 14 days from when all the content has been uploaded to decide if the course is for you. As long as you've watched less than 20% of the course within 14 days, you can request a full refund if you don't think it's a good fit. I'm confident you'll love it, though!

The TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY ACCELERATOR 2.0 IS FOR YOU IF:

You are an aspiring travel photographer who wants to improve their skills, edit sick photos and get the eyes on your work that you haven't been able to before.

That means - whether you have long-term goals of becoming a full-time travel photographer, want to start selling your prints, or simply just love travel photography and want to get better at something you're passionate about - this course will help you master the art of travel photography

Module 6 is where the magic happens for those keen editors who want to get better at the game, and Module 4 is perfect for beginners who need to understand the basics of their camera first. And the way the implementation aspect is structured - quizzes, Facebook support, accountability– you can bet we’re gonna get you to where you want to be.

 I’m ecstatic to help you carve out the YOU shaped (camera) hole in the travel photography space and improve your craft as a travel photographer.

Enrolment Isn't Here Long...

Just like a college or university, enrolment is only open for a short period of time. Then I shift gears to focus on teaching, supporting, and helping you create incredible travel photos. 

Where We Go From Here...

If you made it to the end of this page, then you are a legend! I hope I've given you an insight as to how the TPA 2.0 will benefit your photography, and I can't wait to see you in the student group really soon!

You have until Saturday 11th Feb to enroll. It's time to start creating sick travel photos!
