WHY THESE EXIST
Most photography mistakes aren’t “skill” problems — they’re decision problems.
Light shifts, moments move, and you don’t have time to remember everything. These cheat sheets give you a clear starting point and a simple next step, so you can stop guessing and get the shot.
Real Shooting Conditions
Designed for mixed light, movement, harsh sun, low light, and fast scenes — not perfect demos.
Fast, Usable Prompts
“If it looks like this → do this.” Quick settings, quick adjustments, quick clarity.
Camera & Phone Friendly
Works with mirrorless/DSLR and phones, so you can shoot with whatever you’ve got.
What you get
Each cheat sheet is a clean, fast reference you can understand in seconds and use immediately while shooting.
Common Scenarios & Starting Points
Clear starting settings and adjustment cues for situations photographers face again and again — light, motion, contrast, and subject movement.
Pack-Specific Scenarios
Each pack focuses on a shooting style or environment, with targeted prompts and settings that match how those scenes actually behave.
Printable + Phone-Friendly
High-resolution PDFs for printing, plus layouts that work cleanly on your phone when you’re on the move.
Start With One
Not sure where to begin? These three cheat sheets remove the most common points of hesitation and help you make better decisions fast.
What to Fix First — A Photography Decision Tree
When a shot isn’t working, this shows you exactly what to adjust first — and what not to touch — so you stop guessing and start correcting with confidence.
Good Enough Light — When to Shoot Anyway
Not every scene has perfect light. This helps you decide when to shoot, when to adapt, and when to move on — without second-guessing yourself.
Shutter Speed First — Solving 80% of Photography Problems
Missed moments and blurry images usually come down to one thing. This sheet shows you how to prioritise shutter speed and get sharp results more often.
Available as individual downloads or included in relevant bundles.
