You're poised to take a big step, and cash in on all the blood, sweat, and tears you've invested in your craft.
Now's the time to gain much-needed clarity over where you're going with your business - and the tools you're using to build the life you've imagined.
So let’s put down the camera for a sec and really get our mindset—and our business—right.
Enroll in the Course.
What if you could break free of habits that keep your shoots teetering on disaster because of lack of preparation or false bravado?
In truth, that’s the first step to creating a photography business that can sustain the next decade (or two, or three, or four) of your career.
All too often, however, we develop bad habits, and let them become our go-to practice. Our lack of preparation when we’re young is accepted by small, inexperienced clients as a necessary element of working with a ‘creative’ person.
We feel rewarded for this behaviour, and don’t train it out of our business and psyche. Sadly, this behaviour becomes the glass ceiling that prevents us from breaking through to working with seasoned, professional clients.
I’ve spent years, and done plenty of learning and soul searching. I’ve developed a methodology for running a truly professional shoot. And I’ve made more than my fair share of mistakes along the way.

Testimonials
★★★★★
"I've taken multiple different workshops, this is the first one that is 100% transparent into the way Mackenzie run's his business. He fills the gaps on the commercial side where a lot of photographers don't have experience. How to talk to clients like a professional, how to run a professional shoot, all the ins and outs of usage and licensing. Yes he covers composition, editing, and all those other things but for me this workshop was exactly what I needed to take my career to the next level."
- London Harmon, Student
"Mackenzie has spent nearly a decade and a half as a professional photographer, making him the ideal person to educate talented artists on things they may not be privy to, like the nitty gritty aspects of working on a set. And who wouldn’t want to take the opportunity to learn from someone who’s worked with brands like Starbucks, Puma, and GQ?"
- Wonderful Machine, NYC
A Brands Perspective
Bonus:
I’ve had a wonderful, long relationship with Jeff Duke, the founder of L/L Supply, a surf / lifestyle brand headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. I believe the level of trust Jeff has shown in my ability to bring his brand to life has pushed me to take my shooting to the next level - a perfect symbiotic relationship!

This course definitely did that and Mackenzie's teaching style is really clear and easy to understand.'
