Online: How a Skill Tree Can Help Meet Your Photography Goals

Level up your photography in 2026!

There is so much to learn in photography, both technically and aesthetically, that it can be overwhelming. Enter the Skill Tree: A tool that helps break down complex subjects into foundational skills, leading to mastery. Skill Trees involve mapping out your action plan, developing short term and long term goals, and reflecting on your progress.

Leveling up your skills is an exciting part of photography, but it can be confusing to know where to begin. Lead Educator Emily Hojnowski–a self-taught photographer and life-long student–will share her techniques for building clear pathways so you can focus on the skills and projects that really matter and push past those creative and technical plateaus! She’ll share different pathway ideas for multiple genres and skill sets in photography while giving real world examples of other artists who successfully use the Skill Tree technique. After class, you can also schedule a 1-on-1 to work together with Emily on your individual Skill Tree!

This class is great for beginners to advanced, anyone who wants to work on leveling up in 2026!
