Level Up Your Phone Photography: Establish Creative Habits and Develop Pro Skills With Minimal Time & Gear
Better photos are possible with the phone camera you already own!
I will show you how to take the phone camera you already own and start taking pro-looking photos so that you can take your photography to the next level with minimal time and no additional camera equipment.
This course is for you if:
- You take a lot of photos with your phone but you're frustrated that they don't look good
- You’re tired of wasting your time searching YouTube for photo tutorials, not knowing what exactly you need to learn
- You’re not sure if you should buy expensive cameras and advanced technical courses to take better photos (hint: you don't need to)
- You wish you were more creative but you don’t know if you have it in you
I’m Gabrielle Touchette. In 2008, I started a professional photography business after spending 8 years in photography education and investing $40,000 into courses and professional equipment.
Not long after that, the iPhone came out and I started uncovering the richness of on-the-go photography with my phone camera. After several years of applying my professional techniques to my iPhone camera, I developed a process for creating pro-looking photos with just my mobile phone camera.
I started teaching non-photographers how to take better phone photos by distilling my 15 years of photography expertise into an easy-to-follow process for achieving pro-quality photos with a mobile phone.
In this course you will learn how to take better photos with your mobile phone camera by following a simple, straight-forward system to get immediate results.
Contents of the course:
- 60-min video course to learn the core principles of photography and editing in Lightroom
- 144-page workbook: Mastering Photography Through Practice for a deeper dive into each topic with photo examples, step-by-step practice assignments, and easy guides to achieve better results through your own practice
- 14 Lightroom Presets from Gabrielle's Preset Collection and instructions on how to use them
- personalized Photo Audits by Gabrielle to receive custom feedback and guidance on your photos

The internet is saturated with photography education content. Figuring out what to learn, where to find it and what to watch can be overwhelming and time-consuming.
I take the guesswork out of learning photography.
You will learn the most important techniques without the extra fluff.
My course will give you practical guidance, real-life photo examples and easy-to-follow steps for taking better photos immediately.
I will teach you:
- the dynamics of light to create higher-quality, captivating photos

- how to use storytelling to create purposeful photos

- how to create your own presets
- how to use the masking and healing tools

She offers great advice - her experience in photography and editing really shows. Would highly recommend! " - Chelsea Ross, June 2023
"I took Gabrielle’s mobile photography course and highly recommend it. I really appreciated the slides she shared, as I can go back and review things whenever I need to. It was great to review lighting and composition topics I learned many years ago in high school, how to properly set up my mobile camera, and use Lightroom. I can now make better setups and adjustments just like Gabrielle’s examples here! I now take 2 minutes to adjust/edit a photo before I share it, and get lots of compliments!" - Matt Molinski, June 2023
