IN-PERSON STORYTELLING WORKSHOP

A one day creative photography workshop with Taylor Burk

Why am I doing this?

The answer is simple, because I love creating and bringing people into experiences I would be stoked to join myself! I remember feeling lost with photography and wishing I had access to something like this. A place where I could find guidance, have insightful conversations, and learn from real-world experience.

There’s only so much you can learn from YouTube, social media, and books. For many, including myself, growth accelerates when you’re learning in person, exchanging ideas, and receiving face-to-face feedback. I’ve always been an advocate for cultivating community and bringing online interactions into the real world. That kind of human connection matters to me and hopefully you resonate with that as well!

My goal with this one-day, small-group, creative workshop is to help you reconnect with your photography, find inspiration in the everyday, and tell more meaningful stories through your images from my personal experience in the industry.

It doesn’t matter if you shoot on a camera or with your phone, this workshop is about learning to see differently by building narrative, developing intention, and creating images that resonate emotionally. Whether you’re looking to attract new clients, strengthen your portfolio, or simply make work you’re proud of, this experience is designed for all skill levels.

Don’t just take my word for it!

  • “Taylor’s mentoring was super helpful and exactly what I needed at this stage in my photography journey. He knows his stuff, and gives really honest, practical advice. After chatting with him, I felt way more confident in the direction I’m heading and clearer on how to approach pitching, portfolio building, and finding my style. Highly recommend if you’re looking to level up.”

    Callum D.

  • "The session was a great reminder that investing in oneself, whether through mentoring, workshops, or courses, is always worth it!”

    Kai J.

  • "I found Taylor's wisdom to carry a rich tone that goes beyond advice, taking the shape of more custom-tailored (pun intended) insights and strategies that I could apply to my challenges. I'm grateful for his keen eye and his humble approach!”

    Dylan S.

  • "I walked away with some new insights about myself in the moment as well as questions that stayed with me over the following days; giving me more awareness as I approach my work. Highly recommend!”

    Kat P.

  • "By the end of the workshop, I could confidently say that I had made a noticeable improvement in my photography skills. Taylor's laid-back demeanour put everyone at ease, but he was also very present and actively coaching during the workshop."

    Paul W.

  • “Spending an hour with Taylor was so refreshing. He shared so much valuable advice in such a down-to-earth and approachable way."

    Katherine M.

  • “Thanks for the spark to dive back into life with a lens, curiosity and quest for the different. Your mastery is impressive and you share knowledge and insights with a rare humanity and grounded presence.”

    Sophie D.

  • "Perhaps most importantly, he offered some confidence-instilling words affirming the value of my work and a sense of trust in the process. I 100% recommend Taylor’s service to anyone who is looking to expand their photography business to the next level.”
