FAQ

Ah, young adventurer! The key to leveling up your photography skills is to go on epic quests (our photography workshops) and defeat challenging bosses! Just kidding (or am I?)... Explore new environments, experiment with different settings and techniques, and don't be afraid to fail - for it is through failure that we learn and grow stronger. Seek out the guidance of wise mentors and fellow adventurers in our online workshops, on our blog or through our forum, and don't forget to equip yourself with the right gear. With dedication, perseverance, and a bit of luck, you will rise through the ranks of the photography world and become a true legend. And don't worry, we promise there are no beasts to slay, unless you count those pesky red-light monsters. 🤺

None of us started here. But even though our paths came from different places, photography drew us in with a call to adventure and opportunity to express no matter where the trail may lead. Be it the dirt roads beneath our feet. The night skies above. And everything in between. It not just about capturing it. It’s about truly being captivated by it. That’s what converged us here at Image Guild.

We’re building a community to have a different type of relationship to photography. One that places skill growth, and most importantly the spirit of adventure, over social gains.

So, please don’t call us a photography company. We go away beyond the what you see through the lens.

Picture this: you're signing up for one of our landscape photography workshops, and you're wondering what gear to bring. Well, at the very least, we suggest a DSLR camera with a wide angle lens and a sturdy tripod that could make a giraffe jealous. We're not saying you won't be able to take great shots without these things, so don't worry if you're not packing a wide angle lens yet, it's not mandatory - but highly recommended for maximum scenic effect.

We'll shoot you a detailed gear list once you're signed up. But hey, we get it, you might have some burning questions about what to bring. If that's the case, just drop us a message - we're more than happy to give you the lowdown on all things gear.
