I grew up with almost no photographs of my own childhood. The few that exist are blurry, wrongly exposed, half-cut. My parents loved us — they just didn't have a photographer. I noticed the gap by the time I was in my twenties.

The first camera I bought was a mistake — wrong lens, wrong everything. I shot anyway. I shot friends, weddings nobody else wanted, churches that didn't pay. For the first three years I was mostly bad at it. Then I got slightly better. Then enough people noticed for it to become a job.

Fifteen years later I've shot over eight hundred weddings. Across more than fifteen countries. The work has been featured in The New York Times and The Guardian UK. I've built JOPStudios into five business units — JOPStudios, JOPFilms, Behind the Aisle, The Details Company, Euphoria Creative Agency.

None of that came from a course.

It came from being in rooms with people who were further along, asking dumb questions, and getting honest answers. Some of the most useful answers cost me nothing. Others cost me five years of figuring it out alone.

Creative Streaks is the room I wish I'd been let into in year two. The craft, the pricing, the systems, the people — worked on in person, in a curated room, with practitioners who are still doing the work.

If that's what you're looking for, I hope you'll take a seat.
