Capture strong visual stories through your unique lens.

In this course, we’re helping you strategize and map out your vision as an artist, while still making money. We created this course so you can build a sustainable career and define (for yourself) when, where, and HOW to be flexible in this industry.

“I wanted to create something that isn't just your Photography 101 Course. Yes, we’ll show you how I approach photography technically, but in my opinion, there are more important skills before and after you click the shutter that got me the career I have today. This is where you develop your voice — enhance what you already have; what you’re already passionate about. This course mixes Creative and Business, to pull back the curtain on areas that are often overlooked in the industry.” — Kanya Iwana, Course Instructor

I take photos as a hobby, but I want to start making money.

I’m a self-taught photographer, and I can really see a future in building a career out of photography, but I have zero clue as to where I should start.

I’m a freelance photographer, but I’m feeling a little stuck.

I’ve been doing freelance photography for 3+ years, but I’m not landing the type of clients I want to work with long-term.

I’m a commercial photographer, and I’m hella burnt out.

Honestly, I just want a safe space to re-learn the excitement of creating for myself.

I want to revamp my creative process and see how I can improve my business.

I’m a small business owner.

I’ve hired photographers to take photos for my small business in the past, but they’ve never really turned out the way that I envisioned so it got me thinking: what if I just learned how to take professional photos myself?

I want to learn how to use a camera.

I have a camera at home but don’t know how to take good pictures. I want to learn the basics of photography and be more intentional about documenting my life!

Photography is a medium that is captured in a microsecond, and it lasts forever—THAT’S CRAZY. I first picked up a camera because I loved film and cinema, and I was drawn to photography as a more immediate version of storytelling.

Before building a career in photography, I was a photo hobbyist for a while. When I took photos, I wanted to absorb, enjoy, document and SPONGE UP this life that I have. I realized some of these moments are fleeting, and I wanted to capture them. I wanted to document human behavior and how it transcends into art—and how we keep these moments forever.

Looking back, I knew I wanted this as a career when I started, partly out of necessity. And because of this necessity and instinct, I attached business to photography right out the gate. So that’s what we’re going to teach: creating a career out of photography.
