This is for photographers who are tired of playing small, feeling stuck, or creating alone.
Once a quarter, my studio turns into a creative drop-in space where photographers can show up, shoot a paid model, and make work that actually feels like them. You’ll leave with portfolio images, new ideas, and that jolt of inspiration that reminds you why you picked up a camera in the first place.
SCHEDULED DATES:
Saturday January 31st 3:00pm-5:00pm–Theme: Valentine's, But Make It Unhinged
Saturday April 25th 3:00-5:00pm
Saturday July 18th 3:00-5:00pm
Saturday October 17th 3:00-5:00pm–We’ll do something spooky
BONUS Saturday December 5th 3:00-5:00pm–We’ll do something inspired by the December holiday
What this is:
• Paid model(s) (because creatives deserve to be paid—always)
• Real shooting time for your portfolio
• A collaborative, low-pressure environment
• Learning through doing, experimenting, and asking questions
• Community over competition
• Occasional themed shoot for the season
What this is NOT:
• A lecture
• A competition
• A place for ego or gatekeeping
Whether you’re brand new, rebuilding your portfolio, or a seasoned photographer itching to shake things up—this space is for you.
$60 per shooting photographer
$30 to observe & learn
Your fee helps make this experience possible for everyone involved. Models are paid, creatives are respected, and the studio becomes a space for real growth—not gatekeeping.
Come create something loud.
Come create something honest.
Come create something that doesn’t feel boring.
Spots are limited so it stays intentional.
Let’s get Inspired. Let’s Grow. Let’s create together. Come reconnect with why you started.
If you are a model or stylist (set, hair, makeup etc) and are interested in participating, please email [email protected] or send me a DM
The lights used are Godox/Flashpoint. The studio currently has Flashpoint flash triggers for Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras. Feel free to bring your own, but you are welcome to use ours.
