Remember how it felt when you first picked up your camera?
Back when taking every photo felt like an adventure, and you couldnât wait to see how they turned out?Â
It wasnât about technical perfection or following rulesâit was about playing and experimenting to capture the world in your own unique way.
But lately that thrill seems to have faded and your hobby now feels more like a chore than a fulfilling creative outlet.
Because somewhere along the way you became stuck in a rut of taking the same old tired shots using familiar settings, subjects, compositions and edits so your photos no longer inspire you.
Youâve just been so focused on the technical that youâve lost touch with your creativity and now you donât know how to move beyond the rules to develop your own niche and style.
And with SO MUCH to learn and so many places to learn from how on earth do you figure out the next right step? đ¤
You're worried that if you donât find direction soon youâll lose your mojo and while you donât want to give up on this hobby that has brought you so much joy and sanity, right now it just feels too frustrating to keep sacrificing your precious time.
If only there were an easy way to make photography feel as fun and absorbing as when you first picked up a camera so you can reignite that creative spark and take photos that actually excite you again. đ
But where, oh where, is the solution!
The reason you fell in love with photography is because it initially felt fun to experiment with perspective, framing, and composition to capture your personal vision.
 So to break free of your rut you simply need to learn how to play again by exploring new techniques and scenarios that reinvigorate your creativityđĄand give you the direction you need to finally master this art. đŁď¸

your hobby but an exciting creative adventure!
JOIN NOW
Inside Photo Fun Addicts, we help you rediscover the creativity, playfulness, and self-expression that made you fall in love with photography in the first place.
Through a series of artistic projects and inspiring challenges we empower you to step outside your comfort zone to explore new subjects and techniques that develop your personal style and give you the artistic edge to get exhibited, sell prints and win awards.
These arenât boring âshoot with one lensâ projects. 𼹠Our projects are so interesting and unconventional that theyâll totally transform the way you see and capture the world by giving you the creative tools that amplify your storytelling powers and help you break free of the constraints of âdocumentaryâ photography.
And the best part is, these projects are carefully arranged in an order that improves your photography, lighting and editing skills progressively so youâll finally have a path to proficiency and can quit trying to patch together an education when youâre not even sure what youâre supposed to learn next.
Whether youâve been shooting for years or are near the start of your journey, weâll help you infuse your work with fresh, artistic ideas that set your passion aflame and make photography your lifelong adventure. đĽ
But Photo Fun Addicts is more than just your inspiration library,
itâs your creative community, so this doesn't have to be a solo adventure.
Taking creative risks can feel, well, risky with all photographyâs stifling rules and jerks who love to point out when youâve crossed some invisible line.
But we donât do things the ârightâ way, we empower you how to do things âyourâ way because we know that to stand out you NEED to be different, so we encourage experimentation and applaud rule-breaking so you can explore your creativity fearlessly while indulging in your favourite hobby. đ
Our members-only community is your safe space to share your creative experiments, exchange ideas, and make new friends with fellow photographers who get you, who embrace you, and who cheer you on when you create something youâre proud of or are recognised for your work.
Here you are free to seek help without judgement, post your photos without cruel criticism, receive constructive feedback that uplifts not dismisses, and be continually motivated and inspired by your fellow artists.
Thatâs why our creative family welcomes only the rebels at heart with a deep desire to try new things and a burning passion to express your most artistic self.
THAT'S ME!
Everything you receive:Â
Â
Live monthly classes
To guide you on your creative exploration our live monthly classes help you work through our projects along with the community so you know where to focus your time and can keep your creative fires burning even when life has other plans.
This is also your chance to ask in-person questions and receive personal feedback to grow and refine your artistic voice. All classes are recorded and available in your portal.
Make these hourly classes your minimum commitment!  
Â
Â
Weekly/monthly challenges
During each class you'll receive your themed challenge to help you experiment with new ideas and break out of old habits. These are specifically designed in an order to improve your skills progressively (unlike other photography where themes are chosen randomly).
Newer photographers can start from the beginning, receiving your monthly class and assignments via email, while more experienced photographers can join whatever class and challenge is running at the time.Â

Â
Â
Our project library
Our library of fun, creative projects helps you evolve and grow as a photographer so you can take photos that feel original and exciting while you improve faster than ever before.
These projects are organised into photography, lighting, editing and quick tricks sections so you can either focus on the skill you need to improve or simply grab inspiring ideas for whatever you're planning on shooting next.
There are projects for everyone, whether you love to photograph landscapes, portraits, objects or macro.
Â
Â
100+ projects
Inside the library you'll find over 100 personally tested projects PLUS more added regularly to keep up with emerging styles and trends. These include easy to follow step by step instructions and behind the scenes reference images so you can follow a fail-proof process to make magic with any subject.
Why 100 projects? Because you'll never know what lights you up until you try things you never expected. And it means you never have to go searching for creative ideas again because they're all right here!
 
Â
Â
Editing videos
When a project requires editing you'll find a companion editing video explained slowly and simply so theyâre easy to follow and replicate even if you've brand new to Lightroom or Photoshop. These help you learn editing 'on the go' in a way that's far more fun and empowering than trying to understand and remember confusing tools.
Â
Â
Â
Printable PDFS
Accompanying each project is a PDF of compact instructions that you can print for a physical copy or conveniently reference on your chosen device while shooting, meaning you can stress less about technical problems and focus on adding your personal flair to make each project uniquely your own.
Â
Â
Â
Searchable hashtags
Hashtags help you sort our projects by your skill level or favourite subject so you can pull up customised creative ideas to enhance whatever you're pointing your lens at.

SIGN UPMeet your guide:Â Hi, I'm Hayley!
I picked up a camera because I wanted a fun, creative hobby and a way to meet new people. But my creativity felt smothered by all photographyâs rules and other photographers seemed more interested in gear and telling me how to use it than exploring its creative possibilities, so I felt more alone than ever.
Instead I obsessively started researching more creative styles of photography trying every photography and editing trick I could find (over 130 so far!).
And I was having more fun than ever before, learning faster than I even thought possible and creating photos people couldnât believe! All while other photographers were complaining about losing their mojo.
As my portfolio grew I began to win awards, sell book covers, prints, and products, receive grant-funding, invitations to write for major publications and went viral.
And so I built Photo Fun Addicts to be the creative community I always craved, full of exciting projects that push your creative limits and like-minded friends who bring out our best, not box you in with judgement and boring gear talk.
JOIN OUR CREATIVE CLUB!
With these projects you won't need exotic locations or pricey workshops for great photo opportunities because you'll easily make magic in your local area or dingy garage using whatever subjects you have on hand, and the cheapest gear and accessories money can buy.
This makes learning photography such a joyous use of your time that you wonât even care if anyone likes your photos (though they will!) because the fun youâre having is already the greatest reward.
