Bridging The Gap Between
Entrepreneurship and Artistry
can you relate to this?
1.
Your love for photography came from your passion to create art, but now you have to teach yourself how to grow a business (and you’re not quite sure where to go from here).
2.
You feel as if the business side of photography is taking your time away from being an artist.
3.
Your artistry feels detached from the business side of your brand.
RECESS
is your opportunity to
No. 1 Reclaim your artist-first mentality
No. 2 Understand how to practically propel your business in the right direction
No. 3 Incorporate your artistry into every aspect of your business.
No. 4 Feel the freedom to create, while building your business.
No. 5 Refresh and reignite your creative spark.

You probably know me best as G-Presets, the Lightroom Guy. I’m your host and I’d be stoked to have you in on the inaugural RECESS Masterclass Experience.
While creating collaboration preset packs over the years, I kept returning to the thought of gathering my top tier collaborators in the same room to guide photographers like you in an epic, immersive photography masterclass experience. One where we don’t sugar coat what it took to get to the level of photography we’re at, one that fosters the balance of entrepreneurship and artistry, and one that’s more than sitting in uncomfortable conference chairs all day.
I’m getting pumped to meet you, and I know your main stage speakers are, too.

FAQs
-
RECESS tickets are non-refundable. Should you no longer be able to attend RECESS Workshop, you are responsible for passing along your ticket to someone else and updating our team via recessworkshop@gmail.com with the attendee’s name and email address that is replacing you.
-
Nope. RECESS tickets only cover admission to the workshop. We will provide complementary light bites and coffee on the morning of October 15th and drinks/appetizers at the after party on October 15th. Other than that, it is your responsibility to cover accommodations, food, and travel.
-
We thought you’d ask that. RECESS attendees will get access to the RECESS Facebook group to connect with fellow attendees to coordinate travel, accommodations, and make a new friend!
-
Great question. There are no payment plans available for RECESS, just a one-time up front payment.
-
Yes! No matter what stage of your photography journey you’re in, we’d know you’ll walk away having learned and experienced something new. All photographers are welcomed at RECESS and we’d be stoked to have you.
-
Nope! Although the majority of our educators are in the couples + wedding photography space, we are confident that all photographers, regardless of their niche will find value in the education and experiences at RECESS.
-
This may be the best question yet and we’re glad you asked. We are confident in the experience and expertise our main stage and breakout session leaders are bringing to you at RECESS. If we didn’t believe that real value would come from this masterclass experience, we wouldn’t back it. Combined, our educators bring years of experience in the photography and education space and they’re geared up to share their expertise with you. There is a first for everything and we’d be stoked to have you be an inaugural attendee of RECESS.
