“Dejan did a fantastic job with this book. It’s practical, thorough, and finally helped me understand my camera. The structure is logical and easy to follow. Everything is exceptionally well explained. The exercises, projects, and real-world cases really helped connect the dots. I 100% recommend it.”

Rather than presenting you with mere tips, checklists, or “rules” that may or may not work in certain situations, “The Logic Behind the Choices” empowers you to work autonomously.

"I’ve already taken a few basic photography classes, but I still don’t understand my camera… Why is this class better?"

II hear you. When it comes to mastering camera settings, most classes fail in two fundamental ways. First, they leave out essential topics. You might pick up bits and pieces, but without the complete picture, it just doesn’t click. Second, the material is often poorly structured or explained. That’s why my course is built on two core principles: comprehensiveness and clarity. It’s designed to be the last resource you’ll need to unlock your camera’s full potential.
