INTENT TO IMAGE: Learning to Create from within.
FEATURING Carly Sullens
This workshop is for photographers who want to create images that feel more personal and intentional. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, participants learn how to begin with what they want to express, then translate it into stronger creative choices, from subject and composition to light, mood, and post-processing. This program helps photographers move beyond automatic habits, and beyond technical perfection as the main goal, into image-making rooted in authenticity and meaning. Attendees leave with a repeatable process they can returnto, and clearer direction for creating work that feels true to them. This isn’t about getting it “right.” It’s about getting it real, and making images that feel purposeful, personal, and undeniably yours.
Fall Retreat will be held at the Drury Inn in Grand Rapids. When making reservations, please make sure they are through Professional Photographers of Michigan. Reservations should be made by Aug 22, 2026 to receive the best rate. Use the link below to book your room.
