The Photographer’s Guild
The Guild is a small-group photography coaching service. It is a place to learn, share, and grow.
It is a place where photographers learn new skills, build relationships, and engage in meaningful conversation. Members can share their work and receive constructive feedback, discuss new creative ideas and concepts, request a demonstration of a skill or technique, request resources, and ask questions.
The Photographer’s Guild is led by creative photographer Steve J. Giardini. His years of teaching, coaching, and mentoring, along with his ongoing exploration of new techniques and advances, make him a perfect group leader and creative guide.
Learn, Share & Grow
The Photographer’s Guild was created to help photographers develop and grow their knowledge base, skill set, and photography practice.
The Guild is founded on the idea that creative growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens through collaboration, idea sharing, and intellectual curiosity.
The Guild is a place where learning and sharing are purposeful and fun!
