for photographers
Hey Siri, define:
pho·tog·ra·pher /fəˈtäɡrəfər/
a person who takes photographs, especially as a job.
oh... but we are so much more.
create, connect, and elevate - right here on the prairies.
The photography industry in the Prairies is unlike anywhere else—stunning landscapes, vast open skies, and a community of talented creatives. But let’s be real—it’s also spread out. Building a strong portfolio and meaningful connections can be tough when fellow photographers, educators, and dream clients are literally hours apart sometimes.
That’s where Focused Workshops comes in.
I believe you shouldn’t have to jet-set across the country or world to engage in the creative space you crave. My mission is to bring photographers together right here at home, offering an immersive, hands-on experience designed to inspire and elevate your craft.
invest in yourself
Learn who you are as an artist. Become confident in your abilities and products! Learn new skills, refine old ones, and develop a true personal style. When your clients come knocking you'll be able to answer them with ease and confidence.
Make art. PERIOD. Create things that make you happy, putting all else to the side. I believe in the mantra "If you show them, they will come." Get creative for you, and the clients you want will find you.
Community over competition times 1000! Building connections with other photographers and creative vendors in the industry is invaluable. I cannot tell you how many times I have leaned on them for support.
