It's highly recommended. Replays of everything are available off Facebook on the All-Access hub, but the live events — the Welcome Party, Q&As, Finale Masterclass, and Live Edit — happen in the group, and that's where the prize giveaways happen too.

I understand some people's aversions to interacting with the platform. However, Facebook is the most widely used online platform that has the ability to host the trainings.

You are welcome to create a Facebook profile just to access this training! We only require it to actually be you — submitting the email you used to purchase when requesting to join will confirm that.

You're covered. Every live event is recorded, and the replays land on the All-Access hub — available until August 30th (September 2nd for VIPs). The daily email will tell you what's new each day, so even if you're catching up in the evenings, you won't miss a thing or have to hunt for it.

You'll need something that can open a RAW file: Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw (which comes with Photoshop) are what I teach in, and Affinity Photo works too. Don't worry if you've never opened any of them — Training 3 walks you through my process step by step, and you'll be following along on a RAW file I provide. If you don't own editing software yet, Adobe offers a free trial that will cover you for the event week.

You'll have access to the replays until August 30th (until September 2nd for VIPs), and the workbooks from all 3 trainings are yours to download and keep.

The Facebook group is open from August 18th to September 3rd.

After September 3rd, my team and I will process the closure of the group and the removal of students and trainings.

The trainings will be available afterwards only on our proprietary platform for students inside the Milky Way Magic course.

This is an exclusive live event that you get to participate in for the ticket price of $37! Just like Taylor Swift, this is a one-time-only experience — the concert happens, and then it's over. While my performances may not have the same dazzling costumes (much to my daughter's disappointment), we're bringing the same one-time-only excitement and transformation. You get replay access through the event window, but the recordings don't live online forever.

We are a small team, and this is how we have the resources at this price point to offer this as an amazing online event.

Lifetime access is included for our Milky Way Magic members, who have access to our custom learning platform on nightphotographyacademy.com.

Because this is a live event, all ticket sales are final — just like any concert or workshop ticket. (Taylor doesn't do refunds either.) The good news: at $37, this is priced so that decision is an easy one. If you're on the fence, come back to this page, read what's included, and know that thousands of photographers have started exactly where you are.

Yes, and also very much no. It covers the same basic ideas, but it goes much more in depth. With a smaller group we're able to dive deeper into conversations like focus, and yes — I share my whole editing workflow too!

For Milky Way Magic students: you have lifetime access to all of the replays and content inside the Hub — no need to get a ticket!
