Student Success Stories

When Sarah enrolled in our Photography Fundamentals course, she was working in finance and taking photos as a hobby on weekends. Within a year of completing our Portrait Masterclass, she had built a thriving wedding photography business.

"The technical skills I learned were invaluable, but what really changed everything was the business guidance," says Sarah. "Learning how to market myself, price my services, and create client experiences that generate referrals made the difference between having a hobby and running a successful business."

Sarah now photographs over 25 weddings per year and has been featured in several wedding publications. She continues to refine her craft through our advanced workshops.

Michael had always been fascinated by architecture, but struggled to capture buildings in a way that conveyed their beauty and impact. After taking our courses, he developed a distinctive style that caught the attention of local architects and real estate developers.

"Learning the technical aspects of architectural photography—perspective control, lighting for interiors, and post-processing techniques—completely elevated my work," Michael explains. "Now I understand how to showcase spaces in a way that highlights their best features."

Today, Michael works with some of Auckland's top architects and has expanded to commercial real estate photography. He credits Xluzaovorm with giving him both the technical foundation and the confidence to pursue his passion professionally.
