Hey everyone, I wanted to share some exciting changes that are coming to The Art of Seeing. The community is now completely free for everyone. No more paid tier, no more subscriptions. If you've been on the fence about joining or upgrading — the door is now wide open. What's changing: - One monthly live call instead of weekly (quality over quantity) - Guest speakers when I can get them. And yes, I'm still in talks with Platon for the fall 👀 - A new monthly format, see below What's NOT changing: - My commitment to this community - The depth of the conversations we have about photography and intentional seeing - The fact that this is still one of the most genuine photography communities out there What's coming: I'm working on something more intensive for those who want to go really deep — a focused program where I work with a very small group one-on-one. If that sounds interesting to you, keep an eye out. It's coming soon. And I need your input 🗳️ What format would you prefer? Option A: A photo contest, where the winner gets a free 30-min 1-on-1 call with me Option B: Assignments with written feedback from me Drop your vote in the poll. This is your community as well and I want to build it together with you. Thanks for being here. The best is yet to come. 📷

Hey everyone, We are officially at 98 members inside The Art of Seeing—which means we are just 2 spots away from our first major milestone! To match the value of our live calls, portfolio reviews, and assignments, the Premium Tier will permanently increase to $15/month the exact moment member #100 joins. 🕒 Your final chance: - Paying members: Your current price is locked in forever. Nothing changes. - Free members: This is your literal last chance to upgrade and lock in the current lower rate for life before the price jumps. Once we hit 100, the early-bird door closes forever. If you want full access to all call recordings, bi-weekly assignments, a chance to win a free 1-on-1 coaching session ($149 value), and our monthly guest speakers—grab your spot before the time runs out: 👉 skool.com/photography-by-emanuel-schi-7529/plans Still can't believe we are nearly at 100! Let’s keep seeing :) Emanuel

Hey everyone! 👋 As you may have noticed, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how we can make this community even more valuable and exciting for all of you. First of all, I want to give a huge shoutout to @Wittawat Sadindum! 🏆 Witt has been incredibly active in front of and also behind the scenes, sharing great ideas on how to spark more life into our club. It’s members like him who push this community forward and keep the fire burning! I’m excited to announce some big changes for our upcoming assignments: 1. The Ultimate Reward: 1-on-1 Coaching 🎓 From now on, we will celebrate a winner for each Assignment who will receive a personal 1-on-1 training call with me! Whether you want a deep-dive portfolio review, a private editing session, business advice, or help with your visual style—this is your time to level up. We are starting this right now: We’ll use the current assignment (#11) as a "pilot" for this new format. This means someone from the current round will already win the 1-on-1 call! I want to see how we vibe with this new selection process before we fully transition into the new club structure and branding next time. But I want to be clear: This isn't just a "who is the best photographer" competition. I want this to be encouraging for everyone, no matter your skill level. We will choose the winner together during our live calls based on values like: - Best Improvement: Who made the biggest leap in their craft? - Most Intentionality: Who clearly thought about the "Why" and the emotion behind the frame? - Visual Storytelling: Who managed to move us with their image? The goal is to inspire each other to grow, not to compete against one another. 2. Bringing in Guest Speakers 🎙️ Witt also had the great idea of bringing in guest speakers for our Assignment calls to give us fresh perspectives from other experts in the field. Now I need your help: While I have some contacts, my reach only goes so far—I want to know who inspires you!

Hi everyone! 👋 We are making a big change to our Live Call schedule to make it easier for our international members (especially our friends in the US 🇺🇸) to join us live (and to let Witt sleep a little longer :D)!

See you there! 📸
