Patron Hunt

Steve Simon is The Passionate Photographer®: A passionate photographer doing this photography thing full-time is their only job they’ve ever had and really is living the dream. They want to thank you for your support. Their goal here is to do everything they know to help make you the photographer you know you can be while we encourage each other to boldly elevate our work as we pursue our photographic goals and dreams. These are challenging times. Their plan is to provide you with all the inspiration and information you need to succeed, then it’s up to you to get to work. Thinks of this as a Passionate Photographer University of sorts where everything shared is designed to up your photographic game and build confidence. Patrons get exclusive content, powerful, deep and actionable tips, techniques, and assignments from The Passionate Photographer Book, Revised & Remastered.

Photo Critique: I will do a video podcast where you can see and hear me talk about work in real time. This might be the most important way to learn. And it’s not just from your images because in my experience you can benefit as much or more from seeing the work of others broken down and critiqued. Patrons can submit their own work for honest appraisals, opinions and suggestions all to make the work stronger. Learn what makes images strong and build your confidence when editing and culling your own work. Critique Mentorship: Starting at the $25 Tier and above, we talk about your work at regular intervals and I give you the benefit of personal critiques and advice, while you sip your coffee or tea in The Passionate Photographer Mug. Full Mentorship: Aside from all the other benefits of other tiers, in this comprehensive mentorship level we speak to each other once a month in a one-hour, one-on-one Zoom session where we share our thoughts and screens. It’s an open-ended session and I’m here to advise and encourage you to become the photographer you know you can be. We can both wear our Passionate Photographer Hoodies. If there’s no time for a one-on-one, I can make a video specifically for you and answer all questions about your projects, dreams, goals and challenges for a comprehensive student-mentor relationship. The Passionate Photographer Podcast with myself and the less annoying voice of my photographer and friend Clifford Pickett, who happens to be an expert on iPhone photography and Lightroom. The podcast is first broadcast for Patrons at the $10 level and above before its general release.
