Interested
in joining us as a Retreat Teacher?
If you are teaching on posing, styling, lighting, it will be a demo-style video of you in action. If you are teaching on marketing, sales, editing, mindset, etc a slide-show will likely be a better fit.
We'll provide you with video guidelines and additional info around helping you create your retreat video. While we don't need Oprah-level production, it is a paid event and there are video and audio guidelines to make it a great experience for our students!

Is this the
right fit for you?
We believe in community over competition and are obsessed with making our little space of the internet the kindest, most welcoming place for photographers.
We take our mission seriously...but not ourselves.
We have ZERO tolerance for drama.
Leave the drama for your...
We hope this will lead to a new audience of future students for you and opens up more opportunities to speak on other stages.
However, it is super important to us that the Retreat experience is all about learning (vs being 'sold to from the stage'). Our belief is that when we provide quality content, people want even more!
Please consider how/if this fits into YOUR personal vision + goals.
If you're feeling more "Meh" than "OH MY GOSH - YES!", give this a pass so the universe can send you a different opportunity.
