The approach

Built around the photographer you are becoming.

This mentorship is designed for photographers who are ready to take their work seriously and build something sustainable.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

You might be:

  • 01A photographer stuck in the $200–$500 shoot cycle
  • 02Someone with strong work but no clear pricing structure
  • 03A creative who wants higher-paying clients and better opportunities
  • 04A photographer ready to turn their passion into real income

Most photography programs focus on gear, editing, or social media hacks. At Ninth Street Studio, we go deeper.

I combine my experience as a NYC fashion and film photographer with a background in business strategy to help you create strong work and build a career or sustainable income around it.

Before photography, I spent 15 plus years in tech building partnerships, sales systems, and revenue strategies. Now, I use that experience to help photographers price their work, structure their offers, and grow something that actually supports their life.

This is not a passive course. It is mentorship.

You and I working side by side, one artist to another, building a creative practice that lasts.

By the end of this mentorship, you will have:

  1. 01Clear pricing that reflects the value of your work
  2. 021–3 structured offers designed to consistently book clients
  3. 03A refined portfolio aligned with your creative direction
  4. 04Systems for attracting better clients without constant hustle

My goal isn’t just to help you earn back your investment. It’s to help you generate 3X your investment in booking revenue while building the skills, confidence, and systems to reach consistent $5K, $10K, and eventually $20K+ months.

This isn’t about chasing trends or hacks. It’s about building a photography business designed to support both your creativity and your lifestyle without burnout or constant hustle.

“I’ve had more people coming into my business, more confidence in how I approach and work with my customers, and it’s helped ease my anxiety. If you want to take your business to the next level—not just creatively but professionally—then you want to work with Jason.”

Vincent

“I got my first paid gig while working with him and grew to take on my first $1,200 client. More than the numbers, he helped me build the confidence to charge my value and trust that my work is worth it.”
