02 Who is this for

This is for photographers who feel stuck, and for photographers who like what they are making but do not know what to do with it next.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your practice. What matters is that you care about photography and want to do something meaningful with it.

Photography stops being about the camera long before most people notice. What is left is how you see, and almost nobody is taught that.

  • You have a body of work and no clear through-line
  • You could not say in a sentence what your pictures are about
  • You want your work to become something, a book, a zine, a show, and you do not know how that works
  • You have been putting off a long-term project and want to finally start
  • You want to spend a day with fourteen other photographers who take it as seriously as you do
03 Testimonials from previous workshops

In TheirWords

I came expecting to learn something new from Wesley and Shane, but I left with much more than that. Beyond the photography itself, it was often a passing conversation or a simple comment that sparked new ideas, built my confidence, and opened my mind to new creative possibilities.
Simon JonesSimon Jones  ·  London, May 2026
I had some imposter syndrome before the workshop. I looked at some of their Instagrams and thought that everyone was way better than me. But after everyone shared their fears, it was actually really nice to know they all had the same feelings and thoughts that I do, no matter what stage we are in.
Dionne WongDionne Wong  ·  London, May 2026
At no point did I feel as though I was dreaming too big. I have never felt more motivated to work on a personal project.
Carolyn West
It helped me silence the voices telling me I wasn’t good enough as a photographer.
Mine Manap Turel
Wesley’s mentor session helped unlock my project. We built practical steps forward for my book in narrative themes, format, and priorities. But more than that, he helped me with mindset and getting out of my own way to let the project flourish.

06 Schedule

On TheDay

A full day, from finding your voice to planning your work.

10:00
Shane Taylor · Framelines

Teaching Session: Skills, Advice & Finding Your Voice

Shane leads the first teaching session, covering useful skills, and tips for taking street photos. Followed by a lesson designed to draw out what’s already there in your work: the recurring subjects, the instinctive gestures, the emotional territory you keep returning to without realising it.

12:00
Wesley Verhoeve · Process

Teaching Session: Building Your Vision

The second session moves from voice to action. Drawing on his experience mentoring 20K+ photographers with his Process newsletter, and his ninety-six exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York, Wesley helps you shape that voice into a project with real direction and actionable steps.

13:30

Communal lunch

We break for a communal lunch together. Informal conversations, new connections, the kind of exchange that only happens when fifteen people who care about the same things sit down together.

14:30

Outdoor Street Photo Session

An outdoor group street photography session walking the city with your camera and fourteen other photographers, each with a clearer sense of what they’re looking for.

07 What you get

What YouActually Get

i

The technical part is not what is stopping you. What you do not have is a sentence describing what your work is about.

ii

A voice is not a style. It is the thing you keep photographing without deciding to, and it is already in your pictures.

iii

Editing your own work with the coldness you would give a stranger’s is the hardest skill in photography, and the most teachable.

iv

You leave with a project that has a scope, a shape and an end. Not a vague sense that you should be making more work.

v

Fourteen other photographers will look at your work and tell you what they see. Most of them will notice something you have looked past for years.
