Photographers are a lot like athletes. we pursue excellence in our craft, and we’re expected to perform when it counts. All the best training, equipment, and motivation in the world, can only take us so far. A world-class coach—or TWO— providing personalized guidance and mentorship, can make all the difference in the world.
Your struggles are normal.
“Find your passion, and you’ll never work another day in your life.”
What a bunch of bullshit. If you’re a photographer, and you’re not familiar with these struggles, then you’re probably a psychopath.
Creative ruts
Creativity can come and go like a fart in the wind. But as professionals, we don’t get to choose when to create. We have to create when it counts. Creativity can elude the best of us, especially when we need it most. But it doesn’t have to.
Confidence gaps
Self doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of failure—these are all common struggles we face as creatives who care about what we do. They hold us back from making (and enjoying) our best work (and life). But it doesn’t have to.
Boring results
Ultimately, what separates many creatives is our ability to perform when it counts. Some of us shit the bed at every wedding, while others seem to pull it out of their ass each and every weekend. What’s the difference?… The gap.
Close the gap.
Sharpen your mindset
Mindset guides everything we do (and fail to do) with our cameras, lenses, subjects, lighting, editing, and every other aspect of photography. It’s the great differentiator. Erika & Lanny’s coaching gives you that edge.
Master your technique
Just like any sport, the skills of photography require practice. But practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Otherwise, we’re just mastering our mistakes. Shooting, lighting, posing, editing, you name it—Erika & Lanny’s coaching steers you toward mastery.
Perform to potential
Empowering photographers to perform to their potential—under pressure, in challenging situations, in competitive markets, through highs and lows—is what Lanny & Erika do best.
