Creative Development for Photographers

Discover your potential

Self-Study Courses: Discover your potential.

Are you craving a creative career, struggling to know where to start as a photographer, or need a little guidance with your photography?

This collection of courses and resources have been written for you and bring together over 17 years of experience, insights, and lessons from working in the industry. I want to see others share their talents and get published, sell prints, and find clients - to have the confidence to achieve whatever it is you want to within the field of photography.

The three comprehensive photography courses are now available for self-study enrolments with instant access the moment you join. There’s no time pressure, you’re welcome to work through the course content in your own time, at whatever pace suits your lifestyle best.

If you’re unsure about where to start, I’d recommend doing ‘The 3-Week Composition Reset’ first.

Which of the following sounds like you most?

#1 You are curious about a travel photography career?

The Freelance Travel Photographer Course is for you, sharing insights into both the creative and business sides of industry, alongside career advice, networking tips and all you need to know for pitching clients or working with brands! Learn more here.

#2 You need a creative boost and want to transform your photography?

Start with The 3-Week Composition Reset and learn to see the world in a new way. This short course guides you through the process of resetting your photographic eye, boosting your creative approach, and capturing considered compositions.

#3 You’re keen to start a business (or side-income) selling prints?

The Print Store Launch Pad will guide you through the entire process from curation and logistics to marketing + sales. Learn how to prepare your work for print, how to work with print labs, ship to customers around the world, and price your prints.

#4 You would prefer 1-1 guidance and personal feedback on your work?

I offer a limited number of portfolio reviews each month which are a great way to get professional feedback on your work. In addition to this, I do provide mentoring, however, the places for this are currently full for the rest of the year. If you’re interested in group mentoring, everyone who participates in any course noted above is invited to join ‘The Creative Core - Group Mentoring Program’. A paid, motivating mentorship that includes creative briefs, career prompts, and feedback to get you closer to your goals as a photographer…plus you’re networking with like-minded (and lovely!) people.

If you’d like to discuss which one will suit you, send me an email via hello@thewanderinglens.com and we can chat!

Lovely words from students -

“I had followed Lisa on Instagram and admired her photography for quite some time when I finally decided to purchase her course. It was *so* worth it. I love her teaching style. And, I was able to put into practice some of her techniques immediately like adding foreground objects to provide visual interest. She can definitely help you elevate your photography skills so don’t hesitate to purchase any of her programs!”

— Rebecca Schochenmaier, Germany
Travel and Landscape Photographer

I am constantly referring back to the information Lisa provided, and challenging myself in new ways with the content. I've been dabbling in photography for 20 years, and still learned some amazing new things from the early chapters on composition techniques. The content that I was most looking forward to - pursuing business in the industry - did not disappoint, but I found that the most helpful content for me was actually in honing my niche and portfolio. The curation exercises helped me identify my photographic style, and I noticed my work improve almost immediately. One of the biggest takeaways from this course was the chance to connect with other photographers around the world on social, to cheer each other on and form a little community of encouragement as we all pursue our photography goals.”

“ I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your courses. They have given me so much help and confidence while moving my little business forward. The travel course has meant that I am now happy with my site and I have already been approached for two travel photography jobs and am working with a publisher to include specific images in a travel guide that is being published in the new year. None of this would have happened without your guidance and support.”

DEB NEWTON, AUSTRALIA

“The Print Store Launchpad was a game-changer for me. I started my print store back in December 2020 and found the entire process incredibly daunting and there were many, many, many questions of "Why am I not getting sales", "How do I price my prints", "How do I market my print store".....the list goes on. I had no idea about the many in-depth moving parts that need to work cohesively together to ensure my print store succeeds. Every single module in this course has demystified the print store process for me, and I am now armed with knowledge that can be easily applied I also now have a business and marketing strategy to ensure my print store and my photography business will be successful.
Lisa continues to be the best teacher I have ever come across - truly. The way she delivers her courses and the content within it is by far the very best value for money and the knowledge and level of detail she shares is incomparable to any other course out there. Quite simply I've never found any other photographer out there that can match Lisa's courses. This is the second course I've done with Lisa and I am so grateful to have found such a brilliant photographer and teacher. Thank you Lisa for creating this course and for demystifying the print store launch process.”
