It’s Showtime! 5 Handbooks to Elevate Your Photography Game

Students in our mastermind won’t be surprised by this, but… we LOVE Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice around here. In fact, it’s Charla & Alison’s all-time favorite movie, and the fact that there’s a brand new sequel on the way? We are THRILLED!!!

The whole movie could be garbage (it won’t be), and we will still be obsessed. 

Well, to celebrate, we’ve cooked up something special that’ll make your creative spirits rise from the dead. 🪦

The Handbook for the Recently… Everything!

Do we desperately want to own the “Handbag for the Recently Deceased” Jenna Ortega was sporting around NYC? Duh. Have we been able to find a way to actually purchase said bag? NOT YET. (Ozias, if you’re reading this, pls make it available to buy. 🫶)

To hold us over, we’ve put our own spin on it—creating not one, but FIVE handbooks to guide you through the Afterlif…uhhh, photography journey. And the best part? They’re all free!

  1. Handbook for the Recently Film-Addicted: Ready to dive into the world of film photography? This guide will help you navigate the basics of analog shooting without running into any sandworms.
  2. Handbook for the Recently AI-Addicted: Don’t let AI intimidate you more than a certain striped-suit-wearing troublemaker. Learn how to harness the power of artificial intelligence in your photography business.
  3. Handbook for the Recently Updated Lightroom: Discover how Point Color in Lightroom can exorcise bad skin tones from your photos faster than you can summon… well, you know who.
  4. Handbook for the Recently Creative: Feeling stuck in a creative rut? This handbook is your ticket out of the waiting room and back into inspired shooting.
  5. Handbook for the Recently Published: Got your work published? Fantastic! Your images are out there! Now let’s make sure they haunt the industry (in a good way) for years to come.

Why these handbooks?

Listen, we know the photography world can sometimes feel like one big, dark room. But it doesn’t have to be! These handbooks are designed to shed some light on the subjects that matter most to you.

  • Intimidated by AI? Don’t be! Our AI handbook will show you how to make it work for you, not against you.
  • Curious about film but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered with a beginner-friendly guide.
  • Feeling creatively drained? We’ll help you juice up those creative batteries (you know which kind of juice we mean 😉).
  • Feeling cursed by tricky color edits? Our Lightroom guide is the handbook you need to break the spell and master Point Color.
  • These days, getting published feels a bit strange & unusual. 😂 But we’ll show you how to turn one feature into a spooktacular boost for your business.

These handbooks are packed with practical tips, creative exercises, and insider knowledge to help you level up your photography game.

Ready to get a little weird?
