CI2CI Video Series

Have you ever wondered how a beautiful image was captured?
John Barrett, award winning advertising, fashion and fine art photographer, takes you into a buzzing creative studio and shows you how he takes a creative idea and develops it into a beautiful creative image.

In his mentoring, one of the most important insights from his attendees is not just learning the fundamentals of photographic technique but the opportunity to see the interaction of a professional photographer in real time studio situations. In our series, CI2CI, you get to witness how a real professional studio creates.

An aspiring photographer often has no opportunity to really see and understand the secrets behind the closed doors of a studio, especially one that is headed by a photographer with 40 years of experience and is still creating award-winning images to this day.

This isn’t just an exercise in creativity— it also includes all those little setbacks and challenges that must be overcome during the photography session to take an image from good to great.

Bring Art To Your Own World.

Mastershot Workshop Face to Face

Based on the Gold Coast in Australia, John Barrett’s face to face photography workshops teach you the photographic recipe to go beyond technique and start shooting like a true artist.

In a full working studio environment, you will experience the energy and creativity of being in a real professional photographic studio and working ‘hands on’ with professional talent to capture images beyond that which you imagined achievable.

The photography workshops are conducted as group sessions with no more than six like-minded attendees or as One-on-One Mentoring tailored even more specifically to your personal creativity.

Each attendee in either face-to-face photography course receives a 60 page eBook workshop Manual which comprehensively documents all the subjects covered on the day.
