Why Attend
You shouldn't leave a workshop still confused. Every session is designed to give you tools, clarity, and techniques you can actually apply to your work immediately.
We're bringing in photographers and creatives who are actively building careers, landing campaigns, and creating work on their own terms – without the gatekeeping.
A lot of creatives know how to shoot. Fewer know how to sustain a business. Sunday is designed to help bridge that gap with conversations around systems, strategy, marketing, AI, and growth.
The biggest thing people leave BGS with isn't just content or education – it's people. Collaborators. Friends. Community. Women who understand exactly where you are and where you're trying to go.
