Premium Content Guide | How to Find What You're Looking For

Thank you for being a part of SLR Lounge Premium.

With over 2,000 hours of content and over 30 complete courses, some with overlapping content and concepts, finding exactly what you're looking for can be a challenge.  This is why we created this guide to help you navigate through the content. 

Here are the four best ways to get started with the content

1. Jump Right into a complete workshop - We recommend starting with a training system if you already know what you’re looking for.  For example, if you’re here for business knowledge, jump straight into the business training system.  If you’re just getting started in your photography journey, we recommend Photography 101 and Creative Photography 101. For your convenience, we’ve listed every course we have available below.  Click here to jump down to the section.
2. Explore the Pathways - We’ve also created a set of pathways.  Think of these as quick start guides.  As mentioned, some of the concepts are taught in multiple places.  For example, we teach posing in almost every workshop since it’s applicable to brides, grooms, groups, headshots, family and more.  We help guide you through this in the posing pathway.  To help you navigate these different workshops, we created the pathways to help you learn about a specific topic or concept from multiple workshops.  Click here for a complete list of pathways.
3. Search the Blog for Table of Contents - The next way to find what you’re looking for is the search bar in the blog. Our platform doesn’t provide search results based on the library of content, so we found this work around.  We’ve listed the table of contents in blog entries, so that they will pop up in search results.  Simply search the concept you’re looking for and, if the search term matches a title of a video that we have in our library, the table of contents blog entry will show up for the workshop that contains that topic.  Type in your search term into the field in the sidebar of the blog.
4. Ask the Group! - The last option is to ask the forum and our moderators will get back to you asap with some help!  Click here to access the forums.
