Gain confidence and find direction for your photography!
Welcome to The Creative Core, a new group mentoring program for photographers.
This 3-month program aims to offer the support, feedback and advice required to take your next step as a photographer.
We’ll work together to find direction for your photography, to get your portfolio looking cohesive and ready for your ideal clients, plus, I’ll offer feedback and be there to answer your questions as you prepare to launch (or re-launch) your beautiful work and photographic services into the world.
The next program will be announced soon.
WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK FROM REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?
This mentoring program is for anyone who needs a little assistance in finding direction as a photographer or may want some guidance while taking those first steps in the industry as you pitch ideas, projects or your photos to publications and clients. To be eligible to join the program, you must have participated in an online course with Travel Photography Courses by The Wandering Lens, or be a current member of The Travel Photography Club, the reason being, that I’d like to work with people who have already accessed my resources and feel that I’m the right person to help in their next steps - I want you to feel comfortable sharing your work and questions with me so I can do my best to help you work towards your goals.
I can’t wait to find out what you’re keen to work on!
— Places are limited to 12 photographers!
Personalised feedback.
Action-prompting assignments.
Group Q&A/Discussions.
Professional guidance!

“We can honestly say it was the best investment we made for our photography, we’d love to do it again in the future”
Roisin A, Australia
“Every interaction with Lisa I learn something new. It’s like she sends me little light bulb moments. I’m out there shooting a whole lot more than I used to be which in turn brings me happiness. If you haven’t already, jump in with both feet.”
Suzie W, Australia
"Her total lack of ego is so refreshing and she happily shares her successes and failures so that I am able to learn from them too. Whether you are an amateur or a professional or looking to transition and have your work seen or to be paid for it, working with Lisa is a great investment and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I can’t thank her enough for all she has shared with me and also for being too damn funny.”
The Program Details:
The Creative Core Group Mentoring Program
Let's work together to take action and seek creative opportunities for your photography!
Program length - 3 Months, starting again in April 2025 (TBC). We'll take it month by month, building the foundations of your portfolio and potential photography services, finding opportunities for your work, and crafting pitches to begin your journey towards working with clients.
Group Size - A maximum of 12 places are available for this program. I am hoping to run another group mentoring program later in the year, but can't guarantee this due to my own photography commitments and changing schedule. This may be the only mentoring opportunity for 2025.
How does it differ from the courses? It's suited to you if you're keen to take the next step with your photography, to put what you've already learnt into action. The group mentoring program is a small-group personalised program that will ensure you're receiving direct feedback based on set assignments, and that you're connecting with like-minded photographers at a similar stage.
What if I'm not available for the full 3 months? Similar to my online courses, content shared within the group mentoring program will be available online and can be downloaded. If you're not able to complete an assignment on time, I'm also happy to offer feedback at any stage over the coming six months, I know as creatives sometimes we need a little more time to get comfortable with our work and feel ready to share. Each month, there will be a live Q&A video chat, but I'm hoping to record this so you won't miss out if you're unable to attend.
How much time commitment is required? The program isn't designed to take up all of your time as I'm aware people have full-time careers or commitments. It's aimed at those who already dedicate a few hours per week to photography, whether it be curating their portfolio, building (even slowly) their website, or researching potential clients and opportunities. The content and assignments will support work you've already done via the other courses, or will work with images you've previously taken, there's no need to be out taking new photos every week, we're aiming to work with what you've already got (you're of course welcome to take more if you can!), and to define your next steps.
What will the end result be? This part, is up to you, however ideally, the program will provide the feedback, support, and confidence you need to approach clients and find work as a photographer. By the end of the program, I'll have shared insights and advice on the direction you're hoping to take, and you will have a structured plan to seek opportunities for your photography. Hopefully though, by the end of month two you'll have created a pitch, approached a client, and may already have an opportunity lined up!
