Lifestyle Photo Pro with Mackenzie Duncan — turn destination shoots into paid work while you travel
The gist: If you're already shooting lifestyle content on the road, this 2.5-hour course teaches the business side that turns that into paying client work, not just a nicer portfolio.
- Taught by a working commercial photographer: Mackenzie Duncan has 16+ years of experience shooting for Air Canada, Red Bull, Starbucks, and GQ — brands that book lifestyle and travel-adjacent content regularly.
- Real business templates included: comes with mood boards, call sheets, shot lists, email templates, and release forms — the paperwork that makes a shoot look professional to a client wherever you're based.
- A brand's-eye view: includes a 45-minute conversation with a brand contact on what actually makes a photographer stand out when pitching for work.
- 25 Lightroom presets included: gives you a starting edit style alongside the business content.
A student testimonial on the course page describes it as "the first one that is 100% transparent into the way Mackenzie runs his business," adding it covers "how to talk to clients like a professional" and the licensing and usage details most workshops skip.
Best for: traveling photographers who want to move from posting for fun to booking paid lifestyle shoots. Skip it if: you're only looking for shooting/editing technique, not the business side. Runs ~$150 — check the current price before buying.
