What is it?
A free live training where Kristine teaches the framework behind every stunning Milky Way photo. The masterclass runs approximately 60-75 minutes.
What You’ll Learn:
You'll walk away with a clear framework for creating the Milky Way images you've been admiring, and finally understanding why what you've been trying hasn't worked.
Who it's for?
Photographers who have looked up at the Milky Way and felt that pull to capture it, whether you've never tried or you've been out and come home frustrated that your images don't match what you saw.
What skill level is required?
You can be a complete beginner photographer or a professional in a different genre. All are welcome.
What do you need?
A DSLR/Mirrorless camera, wide-ish angle lens (18-55mm is totally fine) and a tripod
What you don’t need?
Expensive gear, epic locations, the PERFECT timing (that one never comes, btw)
How much is it?
It's 100% free! This is my way of getting more people out under the stars with their cameras. 🙌
We’ll also be opening registration for my signature course “Milky Way Magic” for anyone who has been waiting to join.
I love your trainings I always learn so much!
Thank you for being an awesome teacher and putting so much information out there for us to begin to learn with!
“It was very easy to understand and follow along.
It's not about the most expensive equipment but using what you have to work with.
It's nice to see a real person explain the steps.”
Will it work for me?
Beginner, amateur, & intermediate photographers:
ALL are welcome and catered to.
Whether you know your aperture/shutter scales forwards and back, lighting ratios, and equivalent exposures, or if you’ve never put your camera in manual or shot in RAW before - this is for you.
I’ve used my 17 years of teaching experience and created a repeatable formula for photographing the Milky Way that any photographer can follow and get amazing results with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there replays available?
There are no replays of the presentation available. It is a live event.
**We will likely upload the best replay version onto our proprietary platform that all paid Milky Way Magic course students have access to if they want a quick refresher. This is not something we’ll have available to the general public.
Can I ask questions?
The masterclass is packed with content, so while I’ll do my best to address questions as I teach, I probably won’t be able to touch on every topic. Deep-dive Q&A is something I do inside Milky Way Magic with my awesome students there! 🙌
Are seats limited?
Seats are first come first served, we have secured 250 seats per live session with the online platform we’re using. In past trainings I have had upwards of 500 people join at a time. However, I’m doing 5 different sessions so that everyone should be able to attend. I recommend showing up on time!
Do I need zoom or another downloaded software?
You don’t! I wanted it to be as easy as possible for people to join so watching the event is done from right in your browser.
How do I attend?
Choose your day and time and put in your information to register. You’ll get a confirmation email (check your spam if you don’t see it) with the link to join. I will also email you leading up to the day of your chosen time slot with reminders.
When it is time just click the link in your email to watch in your browser.
I’ve done some of your other trainings, is this the same thing?
This is a different training! In the past I’ve hosted multi-day online events which have been amazing, and also hard to fit into people’s schedules. I’ve condensed everything I’ve learn since starting to photograph the Milky Way in 2015, and everything I’ve learned from teaching thousands of photographers how to photograph the Milky Way into this one hour masterclass. It’s unlike anything you will have attended before (from me, or anyone else!)
Do you have a more in depth Milky Way Photography training?
Yes! I do. I run an online photography education company at https://nightphotographyacademy.com/
My signature course is called “Milky Way Magic” with over a thousand students enrolling since I brought it online in 2020. It covers every kind of Milky Way photo (from singles to stacks, to blends) and has many bonus courses.
I open registration during select periods of time and you’ll have the opportunity to join after this presentation is over if you want to keep learning from me.
Can I learn this on YouTube?
You can learn anything on youtube with enough time, patience and let’s be frank - lots of trial and error.
There is a big difference in attending a seminar with a professional photographer and experienced teacher and watching a 15 minute youtube video from someone who’s photographed the Milky Way on their own.
I’ve taught over ten thousand photographers how to shoot the Milky Way.
Have a question about Milky Way photography? I’ve been asked it. I’ve logged over 300 hours of Milky Way Q&As online in the last 6 years. I cover all the big ones during this masterclass.
This training teaches the repeatable formula I created so any photographer can shoot the Milky Way, and I’ve condensed it into 1 hour so you can get started right away.
MEET YOUR MILKY WAY PHOTOGRAPHY PROFESSOR:
Hi! I'm Kristine
I’ve taught over ten thousand photographers how to photograph the Milky Way in the last 5 years online.
Here’s what I care about:
• Creating safe and supported spaces for photographers.
• More people creating beautiful images.
• Crafting world-class education experiences.
My street cred?
I have a BFA and BDes (NSCAD ‘09) and I started teaching photography at NSCAD University in 2008, a year before I graduated.
I ran the commercial photography studio for an international toy company from 2009-2019 as well as my own photography business in different genres.
For the last 10 years I've focused on photographing the Milky Way and selling and exhibiting my work around the world.
(With two NASA APODs under my belt)
It’s amazing to me that I get to create photos I love, help others do the same and have the flexibility to have time with my young family.
