About:
The big idea:
It is quite simple, really. I have always believed that good photography teaching should be available to everyone, wherever you live and whatever camera you own. I wanted to build a place where community comes first and where you can learn from the best in the business for about the price of a posh coffee.
​
Camversation started in 2020, as a way to keep the photography conversation going during lockdown. Six years on, it has grown into a community of almost 10,000 photographers.
​
Where we are now:
Over six years we have run more than 600 sessions, taught by over 200 photographers from around the world.
Alongside the live programme there is a library of around 450 recorded workshops, so nothing is ever really missed.
What I am most proud of is that most people come back, time and time again and many have been with us for years. That is the part that tells me we are getting something right!
Hi there! I'm Mark
Enjoy photography and creativity with us!
Whether you are looking for a quick burst of inspiration or a deep dive into a new skill, we have a format that fits. Our live events consist of:
​
-
Stand-alone sessions. An evening of fresh ideas from a photographer whose work we admire
-
Multi-part series. A community favourite. Several sessions with the same tutor, so there is time to properly get to grips with a subject.
-
Studio Series. Filmed and edited by us, for a closer look at how a technique actually works.
We look at the how and the why, not just the finished photograph. The sessions are made to be practical, friendly and good fun.
How it looks and sounds:
​
We have grown from simple Zoom calls into a proper production setup. Your time matters, so we take care over it. Our webinars are upscaled to 4K with improved audio, which makes a real difference when someone is showing you the fine detail in an image.
More Than Just a Screen
​
We are not just a website. We are a living, breathing community that meets in the real world too. From our active Facebook group to our physical meet-ups in cities like London, Chicago, Amsterdam and beyond, we love meeting the people behind the lenses.
