PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS, INDUSTRY SECRETS, BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE

The life of a modern photographer looks like spending a week shooting a campaign in the Mediterranean for a brand you love, then flying to Paris and shooting backstage at fashion week. Making more from one photoshoot than in one month at a corporate job. Seeing your images published in the pages of your favorite magazine. Waking up in new countries and journalling with your coffee about upcoming projects. Moving abroad and filling your place with books, plants and art. Setting up different income streams based on your true skills and gifts. Feeling like life has just begun and anything is possible.

The Modern Photography Academy goes beyond just photography and helps you use your camera to design a life of richness, freedom and beauty.

I wanted to voice note you but honestly I felt like there was a strong possibility I would get emotional so the written word seemed the best way to go. I'm still not sure I'll articulate accurately just how grateful I am the universe connected me to you. Like those perfectly timed messages from friends. Just when I need you, you were there. Every time I listen to a session, I find a new takeaway, a new tool to endless possibilities. I think though, what I'm most grateful for, is the pivot from behaving out of necessity to leaning into living, breathing, and behaving with intention.

Undoubtedly the most meaningful investment I've ever made. I've never made so many changes for myself both mentally and in the way I approach my work. I can't put into words how gratefulI am.

RE, Los Angeles

I cannot even begin to tell you the profound effect this course has had on me, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal one. What you have created is truly unique and goes beyond anything I could have ever imagined. This isn't just a photography course. It's a life course, and I am so incredibly grateful to you for creating it and sharing it with the world.

RV, UK

You have truly opened my eyes to a world I had never even realised was possible, and now everyday I wake up excited about the opportunities that lie ahead of me. The fact that I leave for Spain, with someone I met in The Academy, is not something I ever thought would be my reality, and just last night I quoted ÂŁ4000 for a job and it got approved immediately. I see a whole different future for myself now.

Alex, UK

This was my first time purchasing any education dealing with photography and it's the best money I've spent. I feel like The Academy was the key I needed.

CARLY DAME

INSTRUCTOR

I began my photography career with a $25 film camera that I bought second-hand. I was working as an accountant in Canada and had no idea how that little camera would go on to change my life.

Since then, I've earned over $1 million in photography revenue, shot covers for magazines like Harper's Bazaar, worked with clients like Tiffany & Co, all while living in Europe and connecting with inspiring artists. Everything I've learned a long the way, from the big topics down to the nuanced details, is waiting for you inside The Academy.

The program has helped thousands of photographers around the world see their potential, create opportunities, and build businesses they love. The road is not always easy, but it's worth it. If you have a feeling there is more waiting for you out in the world, then dive in and let's build it together.
