From our members
Elodie
Photographer, UK
Having been in business 8 years, I'd a good body of work but it's always been quite disjointed: one style for client A, another for B, etc. I was starting to lose my passion for shooting as I was losing my own voice. Jenni's framework allowed me to redefine what I want my own work to look and feel like. The monthly challenges is giving me the perfect inspiration to create intentional work for my own portfolio and more importantly the accountability to get it done! The community is so supportive and everyone has a completely different style which has been really inspiring and refreshing.
Amy
Photographer, LA
I feel like the work I'm making now actually excites me, and I can make aesthetic choices based on instinct because I've this creative compass to guide me (the brand world). When I have a new idea I go back to the mood board and ask myself "how could this concept live here?" These projects have really sparked my creativity and motivation.

How Her Studio works
Little structure, and a lot of creative freedom
Her Studio is designed to help you make space for your own ideas, experiment with new techniques and build a body of work that feels unmistakably yours. All alongside other photographers who are on their own creative journeys.
1. Creative brief every month
Each month, you’ll receive a new creative brief designed to spark your imagination, challenge the way you see things and encourage you to explore your own visual style.
There’s no right or wrong way to interpret it. The magic happens when you make it your own.
2. Learn, experiment and find your direction
Through live training sessions, practical resources and creative exercises, we’ll explore everything from visual storytelling and creative direction to developing concepts and bringing your ideas to life.
You’ll learn to trust your creative instincts and make more intentional decisions behind the camera.
3. Get feedback and grow your confidence
Share your ideas, works in progress and finished projects for thoughtful feedback and creative guidance.
We’ll look at what’s working, what could be pushed further and how to develop your ideas into something you’re genuinely proud of.
4. Find your people
Creating independently can sometimes feel a little lonely. Inside Her Studio, you’ll be surrounded by food and still-life photographers who understand the process, the doubts and the excitement of making something new.
A place to share your wins, ask questions, exchange ideas and cheer each other on.
5. Create at your own pace
Life gets busy, and creativity doesn’t always follow a calendar.
You’ll have access to our growing library of briefs, training and resources, so you can return to them whenever inspiration strikes.
"I built Her Studio because I've watched too many talented photographers talk themselves out of their best work"

FAQ
I'm not based in the UK does that matter?
Not at all. We currently have photographers joining from the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Everything - briefs, trainings, resources - is fully accessible wherever you are. Live calls run late afternoon UK time, but every single one is recorded, so you can watch in your own time if you can't make it live.
I'm in the early stages of food photography, is this for me?
If you feel confident in your lighting and camera skills, then absolutely. The studio is where you develop your style more deeply, and you learn to structure shoots and see others' lighting setups, so there is so much good stuff there if you're still learning.
What exactly do I get each month — what's the format?
Each month you receive a campaign brief as a PDF and a recorded video training where I walk through the creative direction and my process step by step - so you know exactly what you're working toward and how to get there. You'll also get access to Canva templates you can use directly in your own business, plus any additional resources relevant to that month's project. It's a mix of video, downloadable resources, and live calls.
What if my financial situation changes, can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. Cancel and you keep full access to everything until the end of your billing cycle.
I've done other photography courses and been disappointed. How is this different?
Most photography education is either technical (for people still learning to shoot) or aimed at food bloggers rather than commercial photographers. Her Studio isn't a course at all - it's a creative practice built specifically for photographers who already have the skills and want to build the portfolio and the brand that attracts better clients. If you've felt like existing courses weren't really for you, there's a good reason for that. This one is.
