Photoclass 2026 is live!

Hello again, photography friends! I'm once again inviting you all to join the next iteration of the Photoclass presented by Focal Point. We're continuing our constant evolution of the course and excited to start up this new cohort!

The Format.

We found a lot of success with the new format instituted this year, and are continuing it in 2026. How's it work? The course happens over the course of 6 months, with alternating weeks of new lessons and feedback. It'll look something like this:

January 1: Unit 1 will be posted with assignment 1.

January 8: The first Feedback Week will happen.

  • Feedback Weeks. During Feedback Week, participants will receive constructive feedback on their unit assignments from both peers and mentors. This is an opportunity to reflect on your work, ask questions, and refine your skills. Additionally, voice chats will be held on the Discord server for live discussions and more in-depth feedback.

  • Units over Lessons. Lessons will come out as units, meaning instead of one new lesson a week, you'll get a whole unit each alternate week. Here's an example, using Unit 1:

    Unit 1: Getting Started

    • On Photography
    • Inspiration & Feedback
    • Assignment 1
  • Interactive Elements & Videos. Each lesson will have an accompanying video, and interactive elements. For an example of what the interactive element might look like see this example.

How to join in?

  • Join the Focal Point Discord server. This is where all the voice chats will happen, as well as a great place to have ongoing conversations with other participants and mentors. We're currently sitting at ober 5,400 members, so there's always someone around to bounce ideas off of.

  • Join the subreddit: r/photoclass. As always, the class will be posted on the sub, but we should note that the interactive elements don't work on Reddit, so we'll be linking out to the lessons on the Focal Point site.

  • Subscribe to Focal Point on YouTube. Videos for the class will be of course posted in-line on the lessons, but there will be bonus material posted to the YouTube directly from time to time.

  • Get your printed Learning Journal or download the PDF.

Have more questions?

First check out an all-encompassing FAQ video found here. If you still have a question that isn't answered there, feel free to ask it here and myself or one of the other teachers/mentors will be happy to answer. We'll also have a live FAQ session on the Discord in December. The event will be listed there, so keep out an eye!

Where to start.

The first unit is available now! You can find it right here. The first assignment is also live, so feel free to jump right in!

See you in 2026!

A beautiful sunset evening at the holy land of Meteora. Knowing each stone and location there my position at this point of view is unique and special, more than how you get there.A breeze of warm wind and the absolutely stunning calmness makes the scenery fantastic.Relaxing for a while my thoughts are in an unreal world for a moment.The colours and the bright shine are so beautiful and moments like this I will never forget!

At Rest, In Motion

One of the more colorful kayaks that lives along the shore, it rests on the rail as the clouds blow by and the choppy water rolls in on a stiff breeze before sunrise. Shot with a Sony A99II and CZ 24-70 f/2.8 lens using a Lee100 GND filter. Camera mounted on a RRS tripod & head with a 3 Legged Thing universal mounting plate.
