The TakenByTara Guide

The guide is live and it’s everything I wish I knew when I started 📸

19 pages of real, practical photography knowledge from a documentary photographer who built her career from nothing.

Here’s exactly what’s inside:

📷 Camera settings made simple — aperture, ISO and shutter speed explained properly

🎒 Starter kit recommendations — Canon focused, every budget covered

📁 RAW vs JPEG — what it means and why it matters

🖼️ Composition — three techniques that instantly improve your shots

👶 Photographing kids — how to actually get those natural moments

🧍 Posing clients — including how to handle nerves, crying kids and difficult sessions

⚡ Flash photography — the Godox V1, bouncing, TTL and diffusers explained

🎨 Presets and Lightroom editing

📱 Social media strategy for 2026 — what actually works right now

📋 Business basics — insurance, contracts, delivering galleries and apps I use daily

A couple of honest notes — it’s a digital PDF, gear recommendations are Canon specific, and any apps mentioned are third party with their own costs.

£59 until Sunday midnight then it goes to £99 🖤
