This retreat is for both new and established photographers hoping to refresh their content, get inspired and get business education to help them reach the next level with their photography business. This retreat is the perfect option for those who either don't have the funds to travel abroad, or aren't able to leave home for too many days at a time. If you are wanting to grow your portfolio with the type of content your ideal clients will love, then this is the retreat for you.

What: A creative content retreat for photographers and content creators who want to build community and grow creatively.

​Where: Charlotte, USA

When: Friday Feb 16- Feb 18, 2024 

All photoshoots are based on famous pieces of art, as seen in the moodboards. Inspiration is everywhere, so we decided to go back in time to some beautiful paintings and use them to bring our visions to life.
