Photography Workshop | Inside the Creative Process: Fine Art and Commercial Photography

May 22, 2026 in Education

After receiving my Master of Photography degree with Professional Photographers of America, I was invited to teach a workshop. Last month, I held my first workshop in my studio where photographers were invited to learn about my creative process. 

This photography workshop was an immersive deep dive into my fine art and commercial processes, where I explained how ideas evolve from inspiration to final image. We explored where I find creative inspiration, how I translate my passions into visual storytelling, and I also covered the software, lighting patterns, and gear I rely on to bring my vision to life. The class was meant to spark deeper inspiration and help photographers discover their unique voice in photography. This workshop included a hands-on experience giving attendees images for their portfolio.

If you are interested in the next workshop, please let me know.

Thank you to our model, Gabrielle Kill and our makeup artist, Lucrezia Mapelli.
