VERY GOOD COMMUNITY
All about building healthy community for photographers.
Discord
Our Discord server is a community of photographers who can chat about a wide range of topics, share their work and edits, get honest and helpful feedback, and connect with other photographers locally and globally. Discord is forever free.
Cohorts (Coming 2027)
In 2027, we’ll launch Very Good Cohorts. Joining a cohort will be a concierge-style service where we will place you in a small group of other photographers to build community through weekly communication, creative accountability, and community projects / challenges. Lifelong friendships will be made our cohorts.
Coaching (Coming 2027)
By popular demand, we will open up limited coaching slots where you can spend 1:1 time with Dave to cover a range of topics of your choosing - from photography & portfolio review and feedback to strategy sessions, and much more.
