Photography
Walk a location with a photographer and leave with shots you composed, lit and edited yourself.
Learn it beside the person who does it.
Book a working Los Angeles creator for an hour. Shoot a reel together, fly your first drone, or fix your edit, hands on and in person.
Skip the tutorial. Spend an hour with someone who does this for a living, and make something real together.
Video and reels
Plan, shoot and cut one short video from start to finish with someone who posts them for a living.
Drone flying
Learn safe take-off, framing and smooth aerial moves, and capture your first aerial shots.
Editing and color
Bring your own footage and rebuild your workflow side by side, from the first cut to the final grade.
Styling and direction
Work out a look for a shoot, a feed or a brand with a stylist or creative director.
Growing an audience
Review your account with a full-time creator and leave with a posting plan you can keep up.
