This is how the photography academy will help you become the photographer you’ve dreamt of becoming!

Core Workshops

A clear, step-by-step path toward your own photography style

The Photography Academy is built as a guided journey.
Each core workshop builds on the one before it — so you’re never guessing what to learn next, and your style develops naturally along the way.

1. Master your camera

so it stops limiting your creativity

This is where everything begins.

In The Click Workshop, you learn how to confidently use your camera’s manual settings. Instead of relying on automatic modes, you’ll understand how your camera actually works — and how to control it.

This foundation is essential.
When you know how your camera responds, you’re free to make creative decisions that support your own way of seeing, not the camera’s.

2. Photography Basics

Learn to see — not just to click

Once the technical foundation is in place, we move to the fundamentals that shape every strong photograph.

In this workshop you’ll learn:

• How to work with light

• How to compose an image intentionally

• What to include — and what to leave out

• How to choose backgrounds that support your subject

These skills help you make conscious decisions instead of guessing — a crucial step toward developing a consistent visual language.

3. Smartphone Photography (Bonus Workshop)

Strong photography — with or without a camera

This workshop is designed for:

• Photographers who want to work with both a camera and a smartphone

• Or those who photograph exclusively with their phone

You’ll learn how to apply the same principles of seeing, composition, and style — regardless of the device you’re using.
Because style is not about gear. It’s about how you see.

4. Photography No-Goes

Learn what to avoid — and instantly improve your images

Some mistakes can quietly ruin an otherwise good photograph.

In this workshop, we focus on:

• Common photography mistakes

• Habits that weaken images

• Errors even experienced photographers still make

Learning what not to do helps you sharpen your eye, improve faster, and make cleaner, more intentional photographs.

5. Creative Copying

Why copying is not cheating — but learning

Creative Copying is a guided learning feature that teaches you how to study other photographers’ work productively.

You’ll learn:

• How to analyse images you love

• What to copy — and what to translate into your own work

• How copying helps you discover your preferences and visual instincts

Copying is a natural and essential step in the journey toward originality.
This workshop shows you how to use it consciously — without getting stuck in imitation.

6. The Photography Style System

This is where everything comes together

The Photography Style System is the heart of the Academy.

In this workshop, you’re guided step by step through the process of:

• Understanding your visual preferences

• Recognising patterns in your work

• Refining what makes your images yours

• Developing a style that feels authentic and repeatable

Style is not something you invent - it’s something you uncover — and this system shows you how.

👉🏽 Additional Features

(Included in the second payment tier)

Developing a style is much easier when you don’t do it alone.

This tier adds feedback and live sessions, giving you direct input on your progress and helping you stay focused and motivated.

Members in this tier can:

• Share individual photos in the community

• Post a link to their Instagram feed for feedback

• Submit a selection of images representing their current style

• Join twice-monthly live feedback sessions

You’ll learn not only from your own images — but also from seeing what works (and doesn’t) in others’ photography.

7. Visual Poetry:

Creating photographs that carry depth, emotion, and meaning

Visual Poetry is about moving beyond “nice photos” and creating images that feel alive.

In this workshop, photographers learn how to add depth and emotional resonance to their work — so their images don’t just show something, but say something. You’ll explore how light, mood, subject choice, and timing can work together to create photographs that linger with the viewer.

Rather than chasing perfection, Visual Poetry helps you develop sensitivity:
to atmosphere, to subtle moments, and to the quiet details that turn a photograph into an experience.

This workshop supports your style development by helping you recognise what you want your images to evoke — and how to create photographs that make both you and the viewer feel something when you look at them.

Advanced & Supporting Workshops

8. Simply Instagram

Stand out on Instagram — with your style, not trends

This workshop helps you translate your photography style to Instagram in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

You’ll learn how to:

• Present your work clearly

• Create visual consistency

• Use Instagram as a showcase for your style — not a source of pressure

9. Lightroom Intensive

Edit with intention

Learn how to edit your images in Lightroom in a way that supports your style instead of overpowering it.

10. Photoshop Intensive

For photographers who want to work more artistically

This workshop is for those who want to go beyond classic editing and explore more artistic possibilities with Photoshop.

11. Happy Money

Earning money gives your photography meaning

The Happy Money workshop explores creative and realistic ways to earn money with photography — without pressure or hustle.

Earning money with your work:

• Adds purpose and value

• Builds confidence

• Helps you take your photography seriously — even if it’s not your main income

Practice & Creative Momentum

Developing a style requires practice — not just learning. To support this, the Academy offers two structured approaches to continued creation.

12. Photography Challenges

• Explore focused themes (e.g. reflections, black & white, silhouettes)

• Learn how to turn one theme into a deep, ongoing challenge

• Set your own timeframe

• Stay with a subject until you truly understand it

Focusing deeply on one theme helps you grow faster and become more creative.

13. The 365 Workshop

Daily practice — without overwhelm

The 365 Workshop offers:

• One photography idea per day

• A short explanation

• A simple tutorial for capturing that day’s subject

It’s a powerful way to build skill, confidence, and consistency — one day at a time.

This can be you…

By following the Academy step by step, you don’t just collect tutorials.

You become a photographer who:

• Understands their camera

• Sees intentionally

• Has a recognisable style

• Enjoys photography deeply

• Can create strong images whenever they pick up their camera

This is not about perfection.
It’s about clarity, confidence, and momentum.

25 Themed & Exploratory Workshops

Learn freely, explore deeply, follow your curiosity

Alongside the 13 core workshops, the Photography Academy includes 30 additional workshops you can open anytime and work through at your own pace.

These workshops cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Photography genres and visual themes

• Creativity and idea development

• Image editing and post-production

• Creative ways of earning with photography

Unlike the core workshops, which follow a clear step-by-step path toward developing your photography style, these workshops are designed for exploration.

They give you the freedom to:

• Dive deeper into a subject that excites you

• Find new inspiration when you feel stuck

• Strengthen specific skills as needed

• Explore alternative creative directions

You can use them as a refreshing break from the core path, or as a way to support and expand what you’re learning there. Some photographers like to focus entirely on the core workshops first; others prefer to weave these themed workshops into their journey.

There is no right order — and no pressure.

Together, these workshops ensure that learning never feels narrow or repetitive, while still keeping your style development at the centre of everything you do.

Challenges & Bootcamps

Turn learning into practice — and practice into progress

Learning photography doesn’t happen by watching alone.
It happens when you pick up your camera and create.

The Challenges and Bootcamps are designed to help you move from ideas to action — giving you structure, focus, and momentum when you need it most.

Photography Challenges

Challenges invite you to work with a clear theme or idea over a defined period of time. Instead of jumping from subject to subject, you stay with one focus long enough to truly understand it.

This kind of concentrated practice helps you:

• See more creatively

• Develop consistency

• Push beyond obvious ideas

• Create stronger, more intentional images

You decide how long a challenge lasts and when you’re ready to move on.

Photography Bootcamps

Bootcamps are immersive learning experiences focused on building skills that last.

They combine:

• Clear instruction

• Repetition and practice

• Guided focus over a short, intensive period

Bootcamps help you deepen your understanding, strengthen your habits, and integrate what you’ve learned into your everyday photography — so progress doesn’t fade once the lesson ends.

Together, Challenges and Bootcamps create the bridge between learning and doing.

They help you:

• Finish what you start

• Build confidence through practice

• Strengthen your style through repetition and intention

This is where photography stops being theoretical — and starts becoming part of who you are ❤️
