...a photographic community that's better than Facebook! How? Learn WITH a pro... Parker... Chris Parker... ...and with other like-minded photographers that know their stuff! Plus, my Photo Composition Made Easy system, 7 Free Photo Cheat Sheets and more await for you inside!
You’ll experience a Photographic Transformation when you stop taking ordinary images and start creating extraordinary ones… PhotoMation!
Not only is the PhotoMation community the friendliest photography gathering this side of the Milky Way… it’s the only one where you’ll have full-access to a photography pro... {Parker}!
And it comes in two flavors: Focus and Elevate. Either option is more fun and engaging than any other community or social platform.
How?
The Photographic Transformation tools provided will allow you to Level-Up in a more productive, useful, and time-efficient way than you’ll find on Facebook or other online communities. Oh, and it's more fun! How? No Ads. No Spam. No Bullies. 100% Privacy. No algorithmic restrictions. Photomation is a Community! It’s not another social media site. It’s a place to learn to create better images. The more you engage… the more you learn. The more you learn… the more you can help others. Together, you can achieve your creative vision easier, faster… …and it’s more fun. To start your Photographic Transformation, you’ll need the right tools…
Once per quarter, you can request to have your images reviewed for the highest honor given in the PhotoMation community...
...an induction into the Photographic Hall of Transformation!
If you don't qualify, I'll provide a list of items to work on to continue improving.

Basic - System overview with 1 image example per Level. Pro - More detailed info and multiple photo examples at each Level.
