What would happen to your online presence, your confidence, and your self-expression if you were able to take photos and videos of yourself that you truly loved?
It’s great to hire a professional photographer for a photoshoot, but that’s one day of the year.
What about the other 364 days where you are walking around with an amazing camera in your pocket or purse?
Who Is This Online Course For?
Not everybody can hire a professional photographer for a photoshoot – much less have them follow you around, to help you create content every single day.
But there are so many people who could use great photos.
People who stopped capturing their memories because they don’t look “perfect” in photos.
Solopreneurs launching their first offer, content creators looking to finally hit 10K followers on IG, new business owners establishing their brand…
I see you. And I’ve got you.
New or existing business owners who are ready to grow their impact by sharing their wisdom and passion with a large online audience.
If you are an aspiring speaker, author, coach or thought leader, selfies are an amazing way to build a deeper connection with an audience and your community.
Selfies are not just about Instagram and social media. Selfies are a terrific way to document and celebrate your life. 10 years from now, you will wish you took more photos. Your life is worthy of being remembered. It’s time to reclaim selfies as a tool for self-love and self-care.
What Is
Selfie Like a Pro™
Selfie Like a Pro™ is a comprehensive online course built to teach people just like you how to take awesome selfies and make great videos.
98% of people I work with are convinced that they are NOT photogenic.
Maybe you feel the same…
What most people don’t realize is how this is impacting the way they show up in the world.
Perhaps you stopped documenting your life because you don’t like how you look in pictures?
And now, years of memories are completely lost.
Or you haven’t put your amazing project or product out there – because deep down, you know that it means creating an online presence.
And you’d be embarrassed to post pictures of yourself.
But here’s the thing, if you are committed to self-expression, to sharing your passion and wisdom with the world, sooner or later you’re going to need great photos.
Yes, you can work with a professional photographer, who can capture authentic photos of you.
But, for most people, that means one photoshoot a year (at max).
What about the other 364 days?
All of us are walking around with incredible cameras in our pockets or purses.
But when was the last time you pulled out your camera and took a really great photo of yourself?
Taking amazing pictures of yourself CAN be simple, once you learn how to do it.
I’m on a mission to help you take great photos of yourself, on your own, with nothing more than a smartphone.
But, first, let me introduce myself…
Hi, I’m Darius Bashar.
A Professional Photographer and Selfie Coach. My mission is to help you look and feel great on camera.
Over the course of my career, I’ve taken over 600,000 pictures.
I’ve worked with international celebrities, best-selling authors and change-makers such as Seth Godin, Liz Gilbert, Lisa Nichols and Masai Ujiri.
My work has been featured in world-class publications such as TIME, Apple, Forbes, USA TODAY, Oprah.com and others.
But my journey didn't start there.
In my mid-teens, I hated having my photograph taken because of my severe acne (there are almost no pictures of that period of my life.)
I felt insecure about my appearance back then. I wore hoodies to hide my face…
And I did NOT feel “photogenic” at all.
When I became a photographer, I found out I wasn’t the only one.
Almost every client is convinced that they are not photogenic. They don’t like having their photos taken.
But when they work with me, they remember how beautiful and brilliant they are.
That’s why I’m so obsessed with this work – because thanks to the camera, I help people rediscover themselves.
So if the idea of taking photos of yourself brings up a lot of emotions, I’ve been there and …
I got you.
Looking great and capturing your unique essence on camera can be expansive and exciting.
It can even be fun!

What If I Hate Selfies?
Before we go any further, we need to get something clear… It's time to RECLAIM the term Selfie. Selfies are not just something for teenagers and Kardashians.
Selfies can be …
A profitable tool to help you connect with your audience
A cost-effective way to build your brand
An incredible tool for healing + self-love (don’t believe me click here)
A celebration and remembrance of our time on earth
A powerful tool to build strength and confidence
A gift for our family and friends in the future
A gift for ourselves, so that we can look back and remember how far we've come.
Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I want you to know this…
With the right tips and guidance, you can take great pictures of yourself.
That’s why I created Selfie Like a Pro™.
How Does It Work?
Selfie Like a Pro™ is a self-paced online program that will help you take great photos of yourself, on your own, with nothing more than a smartphone.
Once you join, you’ll get the best tips I’ve learned over my entire career – broken down into short videos, followed by real-life demos and practical exercises.
Inside Selfie Like a Pro™ you’ll find pre-recorded modules and action steps that will help you build your abilities and confidence to look and feel great on camera.
This is not a complicated technical course, and the lessons are NOT 45-minute monologues.
It’s an interactive, hands-on learning experience.
You’ll get fun, bite-sized videos that will show you how to apply the tips you learned to your real-life photos.
The mini-lessons that make up the program build on top of each other – we’ll start slow and simple, creating a safe space for you to explore.
Each topic includes:
Multiple bite-sized video lessons (over 30 video lessons)
A demo where I show you how to implement these tips in real life
And practical exercises for you to integrate what you learned.
What Will I Learn?
I will help you properly set up your iPhone or Android camera settings for selfie and video success. Discover the hidden features that will help you take great selfies, and I will show you how to use them even without thinking about them.
Learn how to lovingly and gently turn your mind into your greatest ally and open yourself up to creativity and exploration.
Great pictures start with great lighting! I will teach you how to find the best light in any situation and also which lights to avoid at all costs.
This is one of my secret weapons! Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, I will teach you how to quickly identify great shooting locations with three simple questions.
Bring your audience into your world and share your story using visual elements.
Stop awkwardness in its tracks – use your breath, voice and movement to look natural. Find your best camera angles and poses that look good on you. In this module I will teach you many ways to work around the dreaded double chin.
“What to do with your hands?!” And, learn how to smile in a natural, radiant way (say goodbye to the infamous Chandler Bing smile!). Find your flow for natural, radiant posing.
Bring more personality into pictures with full-body pictures and posing in chairs (it can be tricky, but we’ll make it happen!). Learn how to design your set. Also, discover how to look slimmer on camera.

How Will This Online Course Help Me?
All of the lessons will be taught through short and dynamic videos. There are over 30 videos lessons in this course, comprised of the very best tips, tools and techniques I have discovered throughout my career as a professional portrait photographer.

Attract your dream clients easier than ever. When your true self starts to show up on camera, the right people will step closer and want to work with you.
Simplify your content creation. No more wasting hour after hour taking shots that “just don’t work.”
Build a deeper connection with your audience. Your customers and followers will feel that they “know” you better, and feel closer to you.
Capture the memories you want to remember. Document your life so that you can connect with the different versions of yourself and see how far you’ve come.
Express yourself confidently on camera. Let the world see the real, unapologetic you.
And more importantly, have fun when you take selfies. It will no longer be a dreaded chore for the sake of online presence. You get to actually enjoy it (and it will show!)
How Much Does Selfie Like a Pro™ Cost?
As much as I’d love to help everybody in person, I realized I can’t…
I don’t have enough time to photograph every human on the planet. Also, hiring me might not be in the budget…
To work with my 1-on-1 and hire me as your professional photographer, it would cost $3,597.
For many, I know, that’s not accessible…
And, it’s even harder if you don’t live near me.
But, the price of this course is much more accessible and far less than the customers, followers, and opportunities you’re missing because people can’t see the real you in your photos.
I created this program with accessibility and your max benefit in mind.
Due to the content provided, and the hours it has taken us to produce it, this program is valued at $997.
But, I am so excited to share it with the masses that I am virtually giving it away!
Get Access To The Entire Online Course Right Away
I’ve poured my heart and soul into this course, and I’m not holding anything back…
As soon as you register, you’ll get access to the ENTIRE program.
I want you to be empowered with the tools you need right from the start. You won’t have to wait two weeks for a Module release when there’s an IG story you have to create now.
Here’s a quick recap of everything you’re getting in the
SELFIE LIKE A PRO™ ONLINE COURSE
Detailed instruction on:
Set Up & Settings
Mindset
Lighting
Location Scouting
Storytelling
Posing (Beginner to Advanced)
Candid Photos
+ more (in the Bonus Library)!
The total value of this course is $997 – but for a limited time, you’re getting it for $99.
That’s a savings of $898!
FAQs
-
I get it. For the longest time, I hated having my own picture taken and also loathed the concept of selfies.
But eventually, I became a photographer. Then I discovered that it’s not that people are “not photogenic” – it’s just that they have never been taught how to take a good photo of themselves!
Therefore, it’s easier to hate something when we feel like we are constantly failing at it. This course will help you win at selfies, by teaching you simple and effective tips, tools and techniques you can use immediately.
-
YES! I created this program for people just like you. If you’re willing to trust me (and yourself) to have some fun with the awesome camera you have in your pocket, you’ll be amazed at the photos you’ll get.
-
If you’re a living, breathing, loving human, this is for you. The program will certainly help influencers and content creators, but the truth is that your life deserves to be documented…
Even if it’s just for you.
Expressing yourself matters. You deserve to be able to look back and connect with all your memories, the different versions of yourself throughout the years. Or the “you” of two days ago.
-
You already have a great piece of equipment, my friend!
And you carry it all around, too – it’s the smartphone you have on you every day.
Other than that, you don’t need anything else – except a curious attitude and an open heart.
Some people want to buy a selfie stick to help them take better photos. Here’s a link to my favourite one. —> https://amzn.to/3EHDKnB

If you’re creating a new product, brand, project or idea… I totally get how busy things can get!
That’s why the course is self-paced and the lessons are structured as bite-sized videos – so you can move forward on your terms.
-
There are so many different photos out there. The newer ones have some really powerful features, but even with an older phone 95% of the lessons in this course will still work for you.
Eventually when you get a newer phone you can always come back.
