The Branding Retreat
A London retreat for people photographers | 22-24 February 2023
with Vicki Knights & Eddie Judd
Want to learn how to succeed in personal branding photography – the fastest-growing photography genre?
Do you love the thought of photographing female founders in gorgeous locations? And shooting during the week so it fits around your life and other photography work?
At our exciting retreat, you’ll find out how to thrive in this dynamic genre of photography.
It’s a retreat full of advice & inspiration for people photographers who already do branding shoots or want to add branding photography to their repertoire.
This is some time away from your busy life, to be inspired by shooting, to fill your mind with new ideas and connect and chat about your work with other fellow photographers.
Whether you’ve run your business for over a decade, or are dreaming of quitting the 9-5 to become a photographer, this retreat will inspire and motivate you to build the business of your dreams.
You’ll walk away feeling re-invigorated and with some gorgeous new shots for your portfolio.

Your Faqs
How many people will be at the retreat?
There will be around 40 people in total for our 5th birthday celebration on the Thursday night.
Is accomodation included and where can I stay?
The hotel the retreat is being held at is lovely and they are offering 15% discount to our attendees. They will be opening up bookings for next year soon and we will let you know as soon as they do. You can see their rooms here. We can help you pair you up with someone else if you wish to save costs and share.
There are lots of other options available in Pimlico and of course there is Airbnb too!
What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?
They don’t have an on-site car park. However, Q Car Park is located just a 3-minute walk away on Cumberland Street, SW1V 4LY and costs £24 per 24 hours. 20% discount tickets are available for hotel guests at reception or use the code ARTIST20 when you book online.
Is your retreat aimed at just women?
What are the exact timings?
Thursday is all day from breakfast at 8.30am, then our 5th birthday celebrations are in the evening.
There are no classes or shoots on the Friday morning, just breakfast (not included) and chatting. So you can travel home on the Thursday evening if you wish,
What's the refund policy?
The £100 deposit is non-refundable after this time, although you can get someone to fill your place if you can’t make it.
£400 is due in September 2022 and £350 is due in January 2023.
What meals are included?
Will I get photos of myself that I can use?
What should I wear?
What is required for the shoots?
Just bring the equipment with you that you would normally take on a shoot. We recommend a 50mm lens and something a little wider if you have it for the indoor shoots. And a 85mm or 70-200mm for the outdoor shoots would be useful if you have them.
How do I get my products into the hands of your attendees?
I'm not a photographer but I run my own business - can I come?
I would love to come to the birthday party on the thursday but can't do the full retreat - is that possible?
I'm nervous to spend this much money on me / is there an early bird discount?
We get it, it can be nerve-racking to invest in your business. But it’s essential that you invest in your training and growth to ensure your business thrives in the future.
We have kept the cost of the places as low as possible, whilst still being able to create an amazing experience for you.
The beauty of the retreat being over 8 months away is that you have that time to save. Then to get a return on your investment you just need to book one or two extra branding shoots after the retreat. We’re confident you’ll be able to do that with the knowledge and inspiration that you’ll get from these few days.
There isn’t an early bird discount as we’re expecting places to go quickly. We hope you can join us!
