This program seeks to help you re-gain the passion for your work and what you do as a photographer. Steve teaches how to break the cycle of doing ordinary photography and how to establish yourself as an artist. Steve teaches the methods to discover and cultivate the artist within and answers the question, "Are photographers really artists?"

Bring a notepad and one or two of your all-favorite images - images you have taken that mean something to you personally.
