Praise From Past Workshops

 
I’ve always had a camera but haven’t really known what to do with it. I found Kim and decided to take classes with her and honestly never looked back. I had a specific style I wanted to achieve, so Kim was great in working with me to help take photos like my inspiration. I think they have not only helped me with a skill point of view for photography but I think creatively I have benefited as well. It’s been really nice having the opportunity to just to talk creatively and not have to explain everything to a non creative. I left every session with Kim feeling really inspired for all aspects of my life, not just my photography! Couldn’t recommend it any more.
— Hayden Czwarno, creative brand strategist (Melbourne)
Excellent! I really enjoyed the workshop. It was very formative, enriching and funny :) The passion, the infinite energy, the very useful information about the basics using a photo camera that Kim shows and gives in talking about photography.
— Liri Donna, masters student (Rome)
I did a week-long workshop with Cedric. Each day was full of joy, every question and new ideas were more than welcome. Even though seminars were online in Zoom because of corona, and it was harder to make a nice work atmosphere – rather than face-to-face – it came out very successfully. I am very happy and grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of these seminars with Cedric - he is a great, friendly, and really experienced trainer.
— Natia, artist (Georgia)
Lovely, inspiring, warm, funny! I was very impressed because of your experience and professionalism. I felt very safe from the beginning. I had a lot of energy all the time and the workshop was full of useful information and tips. Very happy. I feel very grateful for the shared knowledge and approach.
— Tony Curro, non-profit director (Mexico)

Make Your Work Stand Out

More Praise From Past Workshops

 
I really enjoyed the fact that there were all kinds of moments. Listening, interacting, groups, exercises. I think that all this makes the workshop very dynamic. Thank you so much for sharing your Knowledge with us, Kim! It is so amazing that there are people that devote their time to finding answers and ways of thinking. Often this is what is taken from education and I think it is a part that has to be rethought.
— Xana, diversity director (Berlin)
Cedric guided the workshop with expertise, humor and human genuineness which was very much appreciated. I really enjoyed having him as my workshop leader as I believed his wisdom, experience and great personality made the whole experience much more valuable and enjoyable.

Still here?

Wow! Thanks for reading… :)

Here’s one last tiny thought experiment that I often think about. I’ll share it with you in case it helps get your mind & heart spinning in a new way.

What if…

There were a simple way to master the technical & visual photography basics, enjoy the creative process, and feel great about sharing your work?

There is.

(Our workshop! Hah. And: really. We are here for YOU. This is one of my main life purposes – to help people like you enhance your creative process and level up your photography to go as far as you want in life.)

Okay, sure. But…

Does photography even really matter?

YES.

YES IT DOES.

Almost everyone uses photography in one way or another.

Photography is just another way to express yourself…like learning a foreign language…but photography is a language that EVERYone speaks.

And photography gives you the chance to share your unique point-of-view, experience, and imagination in a way that goes beyond the spoken word.

Feeling confident with your camera lets you communicate in a universal language and connect with yourself and your world in a deeper way. A more meaningful way.

Why invest in your photo skills?

Because with the right tech skills & visual foundation, you’ll be able to converse with yourself and others through a more mature, creative, and observant lens.

You’ll start to share your perspective in a way that actually impacts other people. It’s a powerful thing to be able to make someone stop and take notice of something important. To inspire them to pause, question, and even think a little differently…

Your work can make that difference.

And we will show you, step-by-step, exactly how to get there!

If that sounds interesting to you – if you hear your inner voice say, ‘yes!’ – then please go ahead and sign up for our Weekend Photography Workshop.

Don’t be afraid to invest in yourself. The time is now.

(If you have questions, thoughts, or requests, just email me anytime. I’ll be happy to answer you.)

Hope to see you soon :)
