Frequently asked questions
What Do You Offer?
Draft Forward With Zizo offers practical education, mentoring and consulting for creatives developing their skills, ideas, creative practices and businesses.
Our current photography offers include Creative Practice Blueprint: Your Story Matters, a four-week live photography mentoring programme, and the 1:1 Creative & AI Strategy Call, a focused 30-minute consulting session.
Which Option Is Right for Me?
If you want to develop your photography, strengthen your photographic eye, learn storytelling and documentary-style approaches, and build a meaningful body of work, Creative Practice Blueprint: Your Story Matters is for you.
If you already have something you're working on and want focused, personalised guidance, choose the 1:1 Creative & AI Strategy Call.
For the 1:1 call, you can choose between Creative Practice + AI or Photography + Creative Development, depending on what you need help with.
What Is Creative Practice Blueprint: Your Story Matters?
Creative Practice is not a traditional camera or technical photography course. It focuses on developing your creative practice, ideas, storytelling, body of work and the opportunities around your photography.
AI is integrated as a practical supporting tool. You do not need to be an AI expert to participate.
AI is there to help with areas such as research, planning, writing, organisation, marketing and other parts of the creative and business process. Your photography, creative vision, perspective, experience, taste and judgement remain your own.
Will I Make Money or Get Specific Results?
No specific income, financial result, business outcome or level of achievement is guaranteed.
The Guide and Creative Practice are designed to help you explore possibilities, develop your practice and identify opportunities. Your results depend on factors including your experience, skills, commitment, implementation, resources, decisions, market conditions and individual circumstances.
Any examples, income opportunities or potential outcomes discussed through our services are for educational purposes only and should not be understood as promises or predictions.
