Your creativity isn’t broken. Your tool is.


Photography Workshops for Women

We reunite women with their abandoned cameras through experiences that ignite them into meaningful artists - to create art, not content.

There. We said it.

It’s not making you more creative.
It’s making you more compliant.
Always chasing trends.
Always feeding the scroll.
Always creating for them — not for you.

But art was never meant to be optimized.
And your creativity was never meant to perform.

You don’t need more filters.
You need more feeling.

✨ Create for your soul, not the algorithm.
✨ Shoot for the story, not the likes.
✨ Slow down, go outside, and make something real.

At Spark, we teach photography as a way back to yourself.
No pressure. No ego. No gear snobbery.
Just women, cameras, nature — and a whole lot of creative freedom.

Photography Workshops for Overwhelmed Women Who Abandoned Their Cameras

Woman crouched down looking at the back of her camera.

You’re an overwhelmed woman who used to love photography. Your camera sits gathering dust while your phone fills with 5,000 meaningless snapshots. You remember when taking photos felt meaningful, creative, joyful - not like feeding an algorithm that doesn’t give you so much as a “like” or a comment when you share a photo.

You’re not a beginner. You’re a lost artist who got trapped in convenience culture.

We’re here to bring you home to yourself.

Why Phone Photography is Killing Your Creativity

  • Your phone made you a consumer, not a photographer

  • Convenience photography = death to creativity

  • You’re creating pictures, not memories

  • Artists don’t create with crayons - stop photographing with your phone

  • That camera gathering dust? It’s your prescription for presence

The truth: Your authentic version has never been more needed in this world of identical content and images.

Women’s Photography Workshop Testimonials

"I hadn't touched my camera in years—now I am back at it. This got me back on track."

“Cobi takes the guesswork out and helps you understand that taking a photo isn't just about having the right settings, but being mindful in the moment and finding ways to tell the story."

“Better than any YouTube video or owner's manual. Cobi opened my eyes to my camera far more than I thought possible."
