FilmingLife® is where

Heart + Storytelling

meets Creative Filmmaking

I’ve taught filmmaking to over 50k photographers around the globe through my course on CreativeLive, at conferences in Australia, NZ and the USA, and of course through my online courses here at FilmingLife® Academy.

Like many of you, I started out overwhelmed and unsure how to translate my love of photography into filmmaking.

I had no roadmap, just trial and error. But as I persisted, I discovered that filmmaking offered a deeper way to tell stories.

What started as a small experiment turned into a six-figure business, and now I want to share everything I learned with you.

I’ve created FilmingLife® Academy so that you don’t have to go through years of trial and error like I did. I’m here to guide you through the process, show you how to avoid the mistakes I made, and help you build a fulfilling business you love.
