SPONSORED Private Portfolio Development for Fashion Photographers
A Focused Creative Intensive for Photographers
new york city may 31
los angeles aug 15
This Private Masterclass is a private one-on-one 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.
