Basecamp: Education for a Creative Culture
The education you've been looking for
The creative world just got a whole lot easier & a whole lot better. Basecamp is an online platform that helps photographers build a thriving business through powerful courses, accountability, and insight from industry experts.
CREATIVES, LISTEN UP.
Welcome to Basecamp
Basecamp is for the creative who is looking to consistently grow in their craft, client experience, and business expertise. It’s for the creative who is eager to navigate entrepreneurship while in an engaged and encouraging community alongside other photographers . As photographers, we have a lot of skills that need to be mastered. Basecamp is here to help you learn the ropes to these skills alongside peers and mentors who are in the thick of the entrepreneurial journey, just like you.
Moral of the story? The creative world can be tough.
You aren’t alone. There isn’t a one size fits all fix, but Basecamp is here to fill in the gaps with ongoing education that grows with you, and the guidance you need.
- Learning the art of photography takes a lot of time, effort, and investment. It’s not something you can learn overnight (or by yourself – and you shouldn't have to).
- Running a Business 101 wasn’t a thing in school, and if it was, it sure didn’t teach us the ropes of being a creative business owner.
- Balancing life, sessions, editing, and building up your business sometimes feels like one too many things to juggle.
BASECAMP MEMBERS ARE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS
Dawn, here… Founder & Lead Educator behind Basecamp.
Imposter syndrome and a lack of accountability held me back for wayyy too long.
As someone who has now been a full-time photographer for 7 years, I am SO aware of the grit, skill, and mental strength it takes to be a creative. For so long, I held myself back in an effort to keep to myself and stay in my own lane. In recent years, I’ve made it my mission to pour into community and creativity more fully, and I want more than anything to pass that along to you. That’s exactly why Basecamp was created: to be accessible, affordable, and helpful for any and all creatives who are searching for a push in achieving their dreams and goals.
