This channel exists for photographers who want more than free content can provide. Light Skool is free—and it stays that way. Everything here is optional. Inside this channel you’ll see a few different paths:– Live, in-person workshops– Small group mastermind– Limited 1:1 coaching Each post explains who it’s for and who it’s not for. If something stands out, there’s a Next-Level Training Inquiry link in the post. That call is simply to see if it’s a fit. If it’s not, I’ll tell you. If nothing here fits, you’re still exactly where you should be. — Zach (Ready now for the next level of your photography or business? Click HERE to set up a call with me).

I don’t always offer 1:1 coaching.When I do, it’s for photographers who: - Want direct, honest feedback - Are building something specific - Need clarity—not motivation - Want to move faster by removing blind spots This is the most focused way to work together. I’ve helped photographers go from zero to $450,000+ per year multiple times—not through hype or hacks, but through clear decision-making and execution. What 1:1 coaching is - Private image critique and direction - Deep dives into lighting decisions and shooting strategy - Business clarity around pricing, positioning, and next moves - Direct access to my experience coaching thousands of photographers - Clear action steps—not theory This is not a course or a content library. It’s perspective, feedback, and decision-making support—tailored to you. What it’s not - Beginner instruction - Gear troubleshooting - Passive learning - Long-term hand-holding Availability I only take on a small number of 1:1 clients at a time, and only when I have the capacity to do it well. When spots open: - Details are shared here - Conversations happen privately - Fit matters more than filling slots If you think 1:1 coaching might be right for you, use the Next-Level Training Inquiry link below.If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you. If not—Light Skool and the other options are always here. — Zach PS: Want to go deeper?Some photographers want hands-on feedback, live shooting experience, or business-level growth. If that’s you, this is where to start. 👉 Next-Level Training Inquiry

Weekend, in-person intensives for photographers who want real-world mastery. Before online courses were everywhere, I ran IN-CAMERA Workshops around the country. Over the years: - 1,500+ photographers attended - $750 per seat - Every workshop was turnkey, practical, and pressure-tested The focus was always the same:Great shooting—not fixing mistakes in post. These weren’t lectures.They were hands-on weekends where photographers learned how to see, shape, and control light in situations that actually matter. That model still works—because it works fast. Workshop Tracks (Hosted 1–3 times per year) - Off-Camera Flash WorkshopReal setups. Real rooms. Real control. - Natural Light WorkshopHow to find, shape, and repeat good light anywhere. - IN-CAMERA Business IntensiveClarity around pricing, positioning, and growth. What makes these different - In-person learning (no distractions) - Clear structure—not theory - Small groups and real interaction - You leave knowing exactly what to do next Photographers pay a premium for these weekends because: - Progress happens faster in person - You can’t hide behind a screen - Confidence is built through experience How this works now Workshops are announced quietly and spots are limited.Details are shared here first—before anything goes public. If an upcoming IN-CAMERA Workshop might be right for you, use the Next-Level Training Inquiry link below.If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you. No pressure. No mass launches.Just the right people in the room. — Zach PS: Want to go deeper?Some photographers want hands-on feedback, live shooting experience, or business-level growth.

A small room for photographers who want mastery, feedback, and real growth. This is not for everyone. The Operator Mastermind is a capped coaching group (8–12 photographers) for people who are already good—and want to be exceptional. It exists for photographers who want: - Honest, constructive image critique - Help diagnosing what’s holding their work back - Strategic input on the business they’re building - Accountability and momentum - A serious room without noise, ego, or overwhelm This is where we do the work that doesn’t belong in a free group. What we focus on - Lighting mastery (real-world shooting, not theory) - Image critique and refinement - Decision-making under pressure - Business clarity (pricing, positioning, offers, direction) - Turning skill into confidence—and confidence into income How it works - Small group: 8–12 photographers max - Weekly live coaching calls - Hot seats + image critiques - Direct access to my experience coaching thousands of photographers - Calm, focused, high-signal conversations Investment - $400–$500/month (final pricing shared privately) - Month-to-month - Limited spots, intentionally capped This is not a course. This is not content. This is coaching, feedback, and perspective. Who this is for - Photographers who want real feedback—not compliments - People building something—not dabbling - Those who value clarity, craft, and growth over hype Who this is not for - Beginners looking for step-by-step tutorials - Anyone wanting passive content - People who don’t want honest input If this sounds like it might be right for you, use the Next-Level Training Inquiry link below. If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you. If not—Light Skool is still here for you, and always will be. — Zach PS: Want to go deeper?Some photographers want hands-on feedback, live shooting experience, or business-level growth.
