I was in a creative rut, taking pictures of the same thing pretty much every day. Being a part of SIWF Insiders helped me break that rut, and try things that I have been scared to do before. Being a part of a community that’s learning the same modules at the same time has been so encouraging, and seeing everyone else’s results has pushed me to try new things and share my successes (and failures). I would recommend anyone that was on the fence joining to just do it, you won’t regret it.

As a digital photographer of many years, a move to film was a little daunting, so I joined SIWF Insiders on a whim in the hope it may help make the change a little less bumpy. What I didn’t expect was the sense of friendship, community, and support the Insiders give one another, and I’m very happy to be part of it. I’ve been picked up when I felt frustrated, I’ve had some interesting ethical discussions, and I’ve learned some important lessons – and more than that, I’ve made some new pals. Come on and join us. We’ll make sure you’re glad you did.
