Same students. Same phones. Different technique.
Frames taken straight from real students' reels — how they shot before the course vs. after. Drag the divider.
Behind the scenes — what the phone sees vs. the setThe work is there. The photos aren't showing it.
You post your best work and it gets 12 likes — the photo killed it before anyone saw the skill.
Clients scroll past your page because the photos look darker and cheaper than your actual work.
You've tried ring lights, filters and 50 retakes — and the gel still looks flat on camera.
It's not your phone. It's not your work. It's light, angles and technique — and they can be learned in days, not years.
What you'll walk away with.
Photos that look like a brand shot them
Texture, shine and depth that match reality.
A feed that books clients
Content that makes people stop, save and DM you.
Repeatable lighting setups
6 ready-to-use setups for manicure, 2 for pedicure — for home or salon.
Content skills you can sell
Shoot product content for brands and your own page.
Four modules. Every situation covered.
Most bad photos are not a phone problem — they are a lighting problem. You'll understand how light works, where to place it, and how to use it during a shoot. We also cover equipment and a professional iPhone app that instantly improves image quality.
You understand light and know how to set up your shot before you even pick up the phone.
6 lighting setups for shooting manicure on the hand, 2 setups for pedicure, and a separate section on shooting with a live client or model. Specific schemes you can apply right away — no trial and error.
You know how to set the light and choose the angle for every situation — at home, in a salon, with a client.
Gel polish, gel, glitter — it all looks flat if you don't know how to shoot it. We break down how to capture texture, colour and shine through light, movement and angles.
You shoot nail materials so they look on camera exactly the way they look in real life.
Products, packaging, tools — a separate genre with its own rules. Learn to create aesthetic advertising content for brands, your own page and social media. No studio, no expensive equipment.
You shoot product content on your own and it looks like professional advertising.

"Everything in this course is what I use every day to shoot my own work — on an iPhone, with no studio."
Results from people who took the course.
I applied the Module 2 lighting scheme the same evening — my next reel got 4x my usual views and two booking DMs.
My photos finally show the shine and detail of my work. Clients started saying 'your page looks so professional' within two weeks.
I shot content for a local nail brand for the first time — and it honestly looked like a real ad. The product module was my favourite.
I've never filmed anything before. The lessons are step by step and I could repeat everything at home with one lamp and my iPhone.
The before/after in my feed is honestly ridiculous. Same nails, totally different photos — my page finally looks like me.
I finally stopped hating my own content. Every reel now looks intentional and premium.

Everything you might be wondering.
Yes. The course starts from zero — everything is explained from the beginning. You don't need any experience in filming or editing. All you need is an iPhone and the desire to learn.
Just your iPhone — any reasonably recent model works. Beyond that, one regular desk lamp is enough to start: no ring light, no expensive cameras, no studio equipment. The exact tools Salome uses are shown inside the course.
All lessons are in English. You can watch them on any device, any time.
Yes. The course keeps growing — new lessons are added regularly, and every lesson added during your access period is included at no extra cost.
