Immersed Education began as a dream between two extremely passionate, entrepreneurial artists. It all started with the idea to take a bunch of ambitious photographers out on a trip together internationally. The goal was to help our participants take a literal step outside of their comfort zones — culturally, physically, artistically, professionally, and relationally.
We wanted our workshops to be different. We wanted them to be more than a series of courses, or a professional networking opportunity, although both of those elements are well within the scope of our vision. We wanted to create an experience that would never be forgotten. We wanted this to be an undeniable turning point in our participants' lives and careers. We believe that we accomplished all of this, and much more. Our workshops weren't just turning points in our students' lives, they were major turning points for us as well.
We saw how much of an impact these workshops were having on people, and it absolutely blew us away. There is something about traveling together, experiencing culture shock together, pushing each other to grow past previous boundaries, sharing vulnerable stories of struggle or loss with one another, and forming life-long connections with other photographers, that left an indelible imprint on each one of our souls.
