For PHOTOGRAPHERS

let’s grow together

Take your business to an international Level!

Are you ready to turn your passion for photography into a thriving international business? Let me share my journey with you and help you embark on your own path to success!

Picture this: You, jet-setting across the globe, capturing breathtaking moments, and running a profitable photography business from anywhere on the planet. It's not just a dream—it's within your reach, and I'm here to help make it a reality!

About 12 years ago, I was sitting behind my desktop, working as a marketing strategist in Brazil. But then, a photographer became our client, and everything changed. As I worked on her business plan and strategies, I couldn't shake the feeling: Why wasn't I living my own photography dream?                                                                               
After quitting my job, I enrolled in several photography courses to refine my techniques and editing skills, attended numerous workshops, and collaborated with other talented photographers. However, as I embarked on this journey, I soon realized that my aspirations extended far beyond local boundaries, I quickly realised that I could do much more, and I wanted to become an INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER and run around the globe. It was 2015 when I left Brazil and moved to Sydney, I built 2 photography businesses from scratch, not even speaking English fluently.

8 years later, I have worked in New Zealand, India, Peru, France, Spain, Italy and other states in Australia and I have clients from all around the world. I am an Australian and European citizen and have fully booked wedding sessions in Sydney and 2023 started my first European season. In the corporate business (check www.corporatesmile.com.au) I have clients such as Meta (Instagram and Facebook), Toyota, the Swedish Embassy and others.

However, it's not really about me now. I am just a proven successful case. Now, it's your time to shine, and I am here to guide you on your journey. It's your time to grow your confidence in your outcome, refine your photography portfolio and create a profitable photography business, working full-time as a photographer anywhere around the planet. After years of experience, 2 universities (Psychology and Publicity), an International Master's in Marketing, mentoring courses and lots of other international workshops, I am ready to help you speed up your journey,  introduce you to tools and techniques to become more professional, organised, rise up your pricing and help and show off to the world your talent. It is not an online recorded course it is an individual online or in-person mentoring focusing on you and your business.

I am looking forward to working together helping you in your dreamy photography career and taking your business to an international level!

  • You are a talented photographer and know all the photography techniques, and has professional equipment, but are still afraid to show off and scale your work, you don’t know where to find your clients and organise your business. Let me help you to build a business that will make your client fall in love with your work and service, we will be working together for one year. Sessions in English and Portuguese.

    In the first 2 hours of the mentoring session, we go through your scenario at the moment and create a plan for you to improve your business, not overwhelming on getting it all done at the same time. Trust me, as a solo entrepreneur we need mentors to help us stay on track the reason why I offer the 1 hour monthly to follow up on your progress and replan the direction. It’s not an online course it’s individual and personal mentoring.

Real wedding portfolio - 12 hours

  • There is no better way to start your wedding photography than a second shoot with another experienced photographer.

    However, when you are working for another photographer they already expect you to know what you doing, and deliver specific images, and also you are not allowed to use the photos in your portfolio.  

    In this mentoring you will receive an Ebook with information to consult while photographing a wedding, 2 hours video call training session before the wedding day, 2 hours of in-person meetings to review your photos, receive feedback and select the best photos for your portfolio.

    I will also work with you on your approach to get work with other experienced photographers and introduce you to some of my networks in case you have a positive result.

    You will be able to use all the images you take on your portfolio and social media.

    It will be a real wedding, so I don’t need a second shooter (I’ll not need your photos, and no pressure on you to deliver any specific image), it will be just you and me working together.

    After that, you will be able to work with other photographers, and also be more confident about getting your own weddings.
