Develope Academy’s Custom GPT
Eleanor
Eleanor is your on-demand photography mentor and teacher, built from the way Charla & Jenn actually teach. This is practical photography help and business support—without Googling, guessing, or course rewatching.
You don’t need more information—you need clarity, faster.
Eleanor is not just another AI tool; she’s tailored specifically to what Charla & Jenn teach in their courses, covering everything from shooting film and flash to composition, pricing, and client experience.
You can discuss real photography scenarios with her. Instead of just asking “what should I charge?”, you can say, “Here’s the light I’m dealing with—what would you do?”
Eleanor asks follow-up questions and considers your style, values, gear, and constraints, providing context-aware support for your photography and business needs.
Most tools give surface-level answers. You need support that actually understands how you work.
You’re doing too much guessing, too much rewriting, & too much spiraling.
You’re stuck rewriting the same client email for the third time.
You know how you want to sound—you just can’t get the words to line up. Eleanor helps you say what you mean, clearly and professionally, without the overthinking spiral.
You’re on a shoot and the light isn’t doing what you expected.
You’re adjusting settings, moving people, second-guessing your choices. Eleanor helps you think through lighting setups, settings, and options based on what you actually have with you.
You’re not sure if your prices are fair or if you’ll regret them later.
Raise them? Add a fee? Include more images? Eleanor walks you through your options so you can decide and move on.
When every decision feels like it could mess something up—your boundaries, your confidence, or the way the photos turn out—it’s exhausting. You don’t need another voice telling you to “trust yourself.” You need one that helps you think clearly in the moment.
WHAT IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL ALONE?
You’re not asking for much—just a smarter way to make decisions you actually feel good about.
Imagine having a mentor and photography teacher you can talk to while you’re planning a shoot, mid-edit, or stuck on a creative or technical decision.
No waiting for replies. No crowd-sourced opinions. No digging through old course videos.
That’s what Eleanor gives you: clear next steps, faster clarity, and fewer moments spent second-guessing decisions you’re fully capable of making.
Photographers use Eleanor to:
- Talk through lighting scenarios and get setup suggestions based on their gear
- Ask for camera setting guidance for specific environments
- Work through posing ideas when something feels stiff or awkward
- Get help creating lighting diagrams or visual setups
- Troubleshoot editing issues like color, skin tones, or balance
- Think through composition, flat lays, and detail shots
- Pressure-test pricing, proposals, and boundaries
- Prep for destination weddings or unfamiliar shooting conditions
- Navigate scenarios involving difficult clients
- Replace Googling and course rewatching with focused answers

Why "Eleanor"?
Eleanor is named after Eleanor Roosevelt—not because she was perfect, but because she was thoughtful, steady, and deeply practical.
She was known for asking hard questions, thinking independently, and offering grounded perspective when things felt uncertain.
She was a writer. A teacher. An advocate.
Someone who helped people think clearly, especially when the answer wasn’t obvious.
She believed confidence came from doing the work, and that good decisions were made by people who paused, reflected, and chose intentionally.
Support that helps you think clearly, trust yourself, & move forward with intention.
That’s the spirit behind Eleanor:
You already know how to be a photographer.
Eleanor gives you a place to work through those questions — clearly, practically, and without judgment.
No waiting. No spiraling. No digging.
Just support—ready when you need it.
What slows you down isn’t lack of skill. It’s the constant questioning.
