WHAT IF ONE DAY COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING?
LIVE STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
On May 31st in Tokyo, ten photographers will step into the studio—and step into a new chapter of their careers.
This isn’t just a lighting workshop. It’s an experience that will unlock the real secret behind powerful photography: how to create connection, confidence, and consistency—both behind the camera and in your business.
You’ll learn how to master studio light and pose with purpose, yes—but more importantly, you’ll discover how to attract clients who return again and again, who value your art, and who help you build the life and freedom you’ve always dreamed of.
Led by celebrity photographer Matthew Jordan Smith, this intimate, one-day workshop is your opportunity to stop guessing and start growing. Gain the tools and insight to create meaningful portraits—and a career that supports the lifestyle you want, on your own terms.
Because when you align your passion with your purpose, photography stops being a hustle—and starts becoming your legacy.
Only 10 seats available. Are you ready to step into your future?
