Elevate Your Photography

Doesn’t matter! Your perspective and style is going to be different. Even if you wanted to shoot exactly the same photo as someone else it would be near impossible. More, your perspective of it is going to be different and that perspective is 100% necessary. 

That’s Great! It means there’s a market. And where there’s a market, there is opportunity there and some cash. Plus, there are bound to be buckets and buckets of unsatisfied editors, curators and clients out there telling the world why there experience sucks which means you can easily tailor your photography to all those short comings. 

Every single publication, gallery, brand and business needs photos and almost everyone will hire a photography or buy prints at some point in their life.

No! In fact, no one actually wants to pay for ANYTHING if they can get it for free. Imagine you did not have to pay for groceries, clothes or even your camera gear. If people did not put a price on things you’d be pretty stoked. However, that is no way to make a living. 

People know they should compensate you for your time, expertise and the end product of that but if you don’t tell them what it is worth then they won’t pay you anything. 

The only thing standing between you and achieving your goals, aside from mindset (which is covered in week 1 and 6), is learning how to get your work out there in the right way, the EYP method for building a name for yourself and how to approach your ideal clients, galleries and publications. All of which we cover in week 5 and 6 of EYP and that we cover in-depth in Elevate your Creative Career.  

Like, if something is on sale, you’re never going to offer to pay full price for it. If someone is interested in your work, they should be paying for it. It’s all a matter of how that price is presented to them that will have them gladly opening up their wallets to get their hands on your photography.

 Step #2: Book a 1:1 call to get all the details and make sure Elevate is right for you. (book a call here)

Step #3: Register for the right course and format for you.

Step #4: Join the Private facebook group and get to know the community

Step #5: Login to Hogue Education and create your profile

Step #6: Watch lesson 1 and write down any questions you have regarding the lesson, assignment or anything to do with your photography

Step #7: Show up to a live group mentoring session on ZOOM, with a pen and paper and all your questions this is where you get 1:1 feedback on your work and answers to all of your photography questions

Nope! While instagram can and, for some people, has been a get way to get their work out there it is no longer efficient or at all necessary to having a successful career.

In fact, with Elevate your Photography and Elevate your Creative Career, we go over the specific ways to gain recognition and build a name for yourself without having a followers. 

While you might be able to piece together something that could teach you some of the ‘technical’ skills, it could take you months, if not years…

Plus, all those options are missing the key components of Elevate Your Photography and Elevate your Creative Career; weekly assignments, direct personalized feedback on your work and an amazing community of creatives who are passionately taking photos and inspiring the world. 

The classes are live so you instantly get answers to your questions and through the feedback you are given a step by step path to follow that will improve your photography 100x faster than fumbling around trying to figure it out all on your own. 

More, I have tried taking other courses, in fact I spent $40,000 on a photography education that taught me how to be a starving artist. They didn’t cover how to actually get your work out in the world and build a name for yourself. They didn’t even cover how to get published, into galleries, how to actually land your ideal clients or how to negotiate and actually get paid. 

Photography gear is expensive so even if you don’t want to work full-time as a photographer you should at least be making something to cover the cost of your gear, time and travel.

Look, I get it, you’re a super busy aspiring photographer who is likely rocking another job and who has a life. That’s why this program is focused on getting you results. 

In modules 1 to 4 of Elevate Your Photography, we focus on the underlying concepts of photography that will improve your work no matter what camera you are using and in what situations. Everything from composition to lighting to storytelling to creating deeper meaning. 

Then in modules 5 and 6 you create a website and learn how to get your work out in the world.

In Elevate Your Creative Career you learn exactly how to attract your ideal client and by the 3rd module you’re actually approaching them and turning them into one of your clients.

Both programs include 6 modules with a 1 hour recorded lesson to watch for each module. Then a 1-1.5 hour live ZOOM group mentoring session bi-weekly. This is where you can get answers to all your questions, get personalized feedback on your work and get to know the other photographers in the program. 

So in total, I would schedule about 3 hours per week plus, however long it takes to shoot the assignment…this will vary depending on your subject matter and how complicated your shoot is.

Lifetime access to a 6 week course with weekly lessons, weekly PDF guides to go along with each lesson, and a weekly assignment. You also get 6 live group feedback sessions. 

Bonus: Lifetime access to the private facebook community - where you will interact with like-minded inspiring, passionate photographers, a supportive community dedicated to helping each other succeed ($400 value)
