SPONSORED Portfolio Development for Fashion Photographers

A Focused Creative Intensive for Photographers

Atlanta June 21

los angeles aug 15

This Masterclass is a creative mentorship experience designed for photographers seeking clarity, direction, and refinement in their visual identity.

This is an intimate 2-hour session personally led by SHAMAYIM, created to help photographers strengthen their artistic voice, develop a more intentional visual style, and curate a portfolio that feels cohesive, elevated, and industry-ready.

Unlike traditional workshops focused on technical settings and gear, this session is centered on creative development — helping photographers understand why their work feels disconnected, inconsistent, or visually diluted, and how to evolve into a more distinctive image-maker.

Because this program is sponsor-supported, the session is offered at a special subsidized rate of $299.

who is this class for?

Aspiring fashion photographers
Emerging editorial photographers
Portrait photographers transitioning into fashion
Creatives struggling with consistency or identity in their work
Photographers preparing to approach agencies, magazines, or brands
