Photography for Women
Photography for Women is a supportive, in-person course for women who want to improve their photography while exploring creativity, identity, and mindful seeing.
Designed for women at any stage of photographic experience, this course offers space to slow down, connect with your creative voice, and develop confidence — both with your camera and within yourself.
Is this course for me?
Photograhy for Women is for women who want to improve their photography, but want more than a purely technical class.
You might be:
At a point of transition or reassessment
Feeling creatively restless or disconnected
Looking for direction, clarity, or space to reflect
Wanting to reconnect with photography in a more meaningful way
The course balances photographic instruction with creative prompts, discussion, and time to observe, reflect, and make images with intention.
A chance to reconnect with your creativity, confidence, and sense of self.
This course sits at the intersection of:
improving photography skills
creative exploration
reflection and awareness
It’s for women who are capable, curious, and maybe feeling a little adrift — in between life chapters and looking for a creative outlet with guidance and structure to help them explore and create.
Photography is a powerful tool for self-expression, visual storytelling, and exploring identity. In this 6-week course, you are supported to develop your creative voice through guided photography projects that encourage reflection, experimentation, and confidence behind the camera. Together, we’ll create a safe and inspiring space to celebrate individuality and produce images that hold personal meaning and connection.
Suitable for beginners to advanced photography skills of any age. Discover your creative voice through photography, in a supportive, women-only space.
