The Photographer’s Guild
The Guild is a small-group photography coaching service. It is a place to learn, share, and grow.
It is a place where photographers learn skills, build relationships, and engage in meaningful conversation. It is also a place where members can introduce new creative ideas in a friendly environment and receive honest, constructive feedback.
The Photographer’s Guild is led by creative photographer Steve J. Giardini. His years of teaching, coaching, and mentoring, along with his ongoing exploration of new techniques and advances, make him a perfect group leader and creative guide.
Learn, Share & Grow
The Photographer’s Guild was created to help photographers develop and grow their knowledge base, skill set, and photography practice.
The Guild is founded on the idea that creative growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens through collaboration, idea sharing, and intellectual curiosity.
The Guild is a place where learning and sharing are purposeful and fun!
