A 12-Month Self-Portrait Photography Journey

What if photography could help you learn more about yourself?

A Year of You is not your typical photography course. This year-long, self-portrait project is designed to help you explore your identity, tell your story, and use photography as a tool for self-discovery.

Through guided prompts, creative exercises, and reflective self-portrait assignments, you'll create meaningful images that go far beyond simply taking a photo. You'll explore who you are today, where you've been, what has shaped you, and who you're becoming.

Over the course of twelve months, you'll work through themes such as identity, vulnerability, storytelling, emotion, joy, transformation, self-care, and personal growth. Each month builds on the last, helping you create a powerful collection of photographs that reflect your unique journey.

Whether you share your images publicly or keep them entirely for yourself, this course is designed to be a personal experience that can be revisited again and again throughout different seasons of life.

A Different Kind of Photography Course

Most photography courses focus on camera settings, lighting, or editing techniques. A Year of You focuses on something different.

It focuses on you.

Through photography, journaling, and self-reflection, you'll create a visual record of your experiences, growth, strengths, challenges, and transformation over the course of a year. By the end, you'll have more than a collection of self-portraits. You'll have a visual story of who you are, where you've been, and the person you're becoming.
