Inspire Community – Where Photographers and Photographic Artists Grow Together
Â
Whether you’re learning pure photography, exploring art photography, or developing your fine art voice — Inspire is the hub where your creative journey continues.
The Inspire Community is the beating heart of the Art Photography Academy. Here, photographers and photographic artists at every level — from those mastering the basics of the camera to those shaping fine art portfolios — come together to share work, exchange ideas, and grow. We believe you cannot practice art in isolation. Inspire makes sure you never have to.

One Academy. Three Ways to Connect.
Our community is designed to support you at every stage of your journey — from learning photography to developing art photography and fine art portfolios.
Class Groups
Dedicated class groups linked to each course, where photographers and photographic artists share assignments, ask questions, and receive feedback from both peers and lecturers. These class groups create a supportive environment that helps you stay motivated and inspired while progressing through your course.
Inspire Community
A subscription-based space where photographers and photographic artists can post work, engage in discussion, and take part in exclusive creative challenges. Many members first gain access through complimentary membership included with their course, and then continue as subscribed members afterwards.
Creative Vision Network
An invitation-only network for anyone who has studied with Martin or Samantha in the past or present. It’s a free community space where alumni can continue to share work, exchange ideas, and stay connected long after their formal classes have ended.
Inspire Community. More than a forum. A place to grow.
Inspire is designed to keep your creativity alive, long after the excitement of a new course or project fades. With features that encourage connection, feedback, and experimentation, it’s a space built to help photographers and photographic artists thrive.
Creative Challenges
Exclusive fortnightly or six-week challenges designed to spark new ideas and push you beyond your comfort zone. These assignments are only available inside Inspire.
Posting & Feedback
A safe space to share your work, receive encouragement, and learn through constructive feedback from peers, lecturers, and the wider community.
Always Connected
Accessible across desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Whether you’re on Apple, Windows, or Android, Inspire is easy to use wherever you are.
Direct Contact
Message fellow members, start discussions, or arrange video chats inside the app. Inspire makes it simple to stay in touch and build creative friendships.
Live Open Mic (coming soon)
Regular sessions, hosted by academy lecturers — with guest speakers, allow members to ask questions and participate in real-time discussions.
Why Practice in Isolation?
At the Art Photography Academy, we believe that learning photography is more than mastering techniques — it’s about finding your voice as a photographer and photographic artist. Growth happens when you are surrounded by others who inspire, challenge, and encourage you.
Inspire was created to answer this very need. It’s not an add-on or an afterthought — it has been part of the academy since the beginning. By engaging with others, you gain more than knowledge: you gain perspective, accountability, and the motivation to keep going. Inspire makes sure you never walk the creative journey alone.
