Meet your hosts

For the past 10+ years, we’ve helped thousands of photographers find their voice, refine their vision, and build businesses and work rooted in meaning, sustainability, and impact.

We’ve seen this industry shift again and again and right now is no different.
Something big is happening and now more than ever we need to show up while remaining adaptable.

There’s a growing hunger for real, honest, emotionally-resonant imagery.
Publications, galleries, and clients are all looking for work that stands out and says something.
And the photographers who are clear on their voice and strategy?
They’re the ones getting chosen, getting the clients, the exhibits, the opportunities.

We’ve helped photographers at every stage- those just picking up a camera, and those who’ve been doing this for years- get published, land exhibits, build businesses that actually pay them, and step into roles as creative leaders in their communities.

And we knew we had to bring this work to more of you… photographers with the heart, grit, and creative fire to lead in this new era even in times of uncertainty.

So we called on other industry leaders and the people we’ve mentored, the ones doing extraordinary work in the world right now, and brought this conference to life.

Because this moment in time is not the moment to hide.
It’s the moment to get clear.
To take up space.
To do the work that only you can do.
And to have a plan in place for even the wildest of times.
