My name is Jim, and for almost a decade I’ve been obsessed with one thing, creating portraits that stop people cold. I’ve worked with multimillion dollar companies, community brands, magazines, and even had my work displayed in the middle of Times Square.

But here’s the truth. Great portraits aren’t about expensive gear or fancy studios. They’re about psychology, mastery, and storytelling. They’re about making people feel something when they look at your image.

That’s exactly what this program delivers.

The Portrait Intensive is an eight week, no fluff system built to turn you into the kind of photographer who doesn’t just take photos. You create impact. You’ll learn how to light, direct, and connect so your portraits command attention and emotion.

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of playing it safe, and ready to create portraits that actually move people, this is where that transformation begins.
