Beyond Imposter Syndrome: 100-day photo course
Have you ever felt like your work is not good enough? You don’t have the right photographs to submit to competitions? You don’t have enough skills to apply for photography jobs? You are not alone – we know the feeling all too well!
As soon as we realised there is a wide-spread ‘lack of confidence’ virus amongst creatives, we started our own research to learn all we could about imposter syndrome for photographers, and how to deal with it.
Not your usual challenge
We designed this course to be transformational from ‘day one’.
It is a commitment for those who want to achieve more with their photography skills, unlock creativity, develop confidence, and learn new skills.
By the end of those 100 days you will be transformed – understanding the source of that inner voice that says your work isn’t good enough, and learning how to deal with it and even turn it into an advantage.
The course includes video recordings, live online meetings, and group exercises.
The course has weekly assignments, some of which include taking photographs.
What others are saying
"For the last few weeks I've been visiting places I have been many times before, and photographed many times but realised I was approaching my photography in a completely different way - fewer pictures taken but much, much better. The group has changed my approach to the craft." Kelvin Wright
"Thank you for putting this course together - I read about the course and had a 'omg, that course is made for me' moment! I have really enjoyed making connections with other photographers in a welcoming, safe and encouraging space. The different perspectives and images have been inspiring. There are some images from everyone that need to be printed!" Penny Milner
