About
Johny Spencer, the founder of 3 Colors (3C), is more than just a landscape and nature photographer; he is a mentor, teacher, and constant student of the craft. 3C was born out of his vision to help aspiring photographers master their skills quickly and efficiently.
Born in Australia, Johny is not just a self-made photographer, but a full-time professional landscape and nature photographer for the National Parks Service. It's a role that not only gives him the opportunity to capture breathtaking views and moments in time, but also ensures he is always sharpening his skills and pushing the boundaries of his photographic abilities.
Johny remembers the early days of his career, stumbling from one online tutorial to another, unsure of what he needed to learn to elevate his photography. It was a time-consuming and often frustrating process, filled with trial and error. But over time, he developed a photographic workflow that allowed him to consistently produce stunning images.
Johny believes that had he received the right coaching and information from the start, he would have been able to achieve his goals much faster. This realization inspired him to start 3 Colors, a resource dedicated to helping other photographers skip the years of trial and error he experienced.
3 Colors provides free photography tutorials through its podcast and blog, tackling various aspects of landscape and nature photography. It also has a private members-only community, Team 3C, where members receive tailored tutorials to help them achieve their photography goals even faster. Johny's mission is simple: he wants to help photographers create amazing images without having to endure the struggles he went through.
His work with the National Parks Service ensures that he is constantly refining his skills, adapting to new challenges, and ensuring he produces impressive photos each time he steps out with his camera. This dedication to continual improvement keeps 3 Colors at the forefront of the landscape and nature photography learning sphere, ensuring it provides the best possible content to its members.
Johny's philosophy revolves around distilling the complexities of photography into digestible and actionable lessons. He guides his students through the technical and creative aspects of photography, helping them understand not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind each technique. This emphasis on understanding over memorization equips his students with the ability to adapt to different scenarios and bring their unique vision to life.
But Johny's work extends beyond tutorials and lessons. He has cultivated a supportive and engaged community of photographers, fostering an environment where members can share their work, receive feedback, and learn from each other. This collaborative approach to learning enhances the experience, helping photographers grow not just as individuals but as part of a collective.
In essence, Johny Spencer, through 3 Colors, offers more than just photography lessons; he provides a platform for photographers to grow, learn, and develop their skills, all while being part of a supportive community. His passion for helping others learn, coupled with his experience as a professional landscape and nature photographer, makes him an invaluable resource for those looking to elevate their photography game. Johny's commitment to constant learning and teaching, coupled with his passion for photography, is what sets him, and 3 Colors, apart.
