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)!

The Camera Giveaway: As soon as we welcome our first 10 paying members to the club, I’m launching a quaterly photo-contest where you can win a camera! ( I appreciate any help I can get) 2. New Course Beta-Testers: I am working on a brand new photography course. I will be selecting the 3-5 most engaged Founding Members to get free access as "Beta Testers" to help me refine it. Thank you for being a Founding Member of The Photography Club. I can't wait to share more about the course next week! Let become the best photography community on this Plattform!

Hey everyone, I did some housekeeping to make The Photography Club as simple and powerful as possible. I want you to spend less time clicking through menus and more time shooting. Here is what’s new: 1. "Discussion" is the new Hub 💬 I merged 'Student Lounge', 'Gear & Tech', and 'Creative Ideas' into one single place called Discussion. Whether you want to introduce yourself, ask about a lens, or just chat—it all happens there now. 2. NEW Category: "The Assignment" 📷 This is where the magic happens. Based on a fantastic suggestion by @Endri Dano (huge shoutout to you! 🙌), we are introducing regular themes and challenges. The goal? To move beyond technical settings and truly learn the art of seeing. This new category is dedicated solely to these assignments. Starting Today: We are kicking this off right now with our very first Assignment! So take a look! 🎁 The Reward: I will pick the top 3 photos from the submissions and we will discuss and critique them together in our Live Call next Tuesday. This is your chance to get detailed feedback on your work! Thanks to @Endri Dano and @Omar Sameh for helping shape this community—if you have ideas, I’m always listening! Get your cameras ready! Stay focused and good light!

Welcome to the official Notice Board. I will use this channel to post: - Links to our Weekly Live Calls 🎥 - New Course Modules & PDF drops 📄 - Important Community Updates 🚀 Action Step: Make sure you have notifications turned ON for this category so you never miss a live session.
