I'm Steve Simon and as a passionate photographer like you, doing this photography thing full-time is the only job I’ve ever had and really is living the dream. I want to thank you for your support!
Exclusive Content: Before it’s published, powerful and actionable tips, techniques and assignments from the upcoming Passionate Photographer Book Revised & Remastered. Content will be expanded from the book. After the book is published (May 2019), new and updated content will be added weekly.
Audio Book: Ok, listening to an audio book on photography is generally not something I would recommend, but this one's different. The Passionate Photographer is the result of my lifetime's pursuit of photography and though an oral version is not obviously visual, there's a lot of information I cover that can be listened to and taken in as you commute or multi-task, even if it's my own annoying voice reading to you. (James Earl Jones was busy).
A new audio chapter of The Passionate Photographer: Dream It; Be It will be released monthly for patrons at the $10 level and above. If you prefer to binge-listen, you get the complete book and first release of our new podcast at the $15 monthly level.
Stuff: Depending on your level of support, there are a variety of instant downloadable PDF's with more to be added in the future. Current instant offerings include:
Photo Critique: I will do a video podcast ($10+ tier) where you can see and hear me talk about work in real time. This might be the most important way to learn. And it’s not just from your images because in my experience you can benefit as much or more from seeing the work of others broken down and critiqued. Patrons can submit their own work for honest appraisals, opinions and suggestions all to make the work stronger. Learn what makes images strong and build your confidence when editing and culling your own work.
Podcast: I have long been a fan of the podcast, and if you're tired of hearing my voice from the audio book try The Passionate Photographer/PhotoEducate Podcast with myself and the less annoying voice of my street photographer friend Steve Attard, who happens to be an expert on social media.
Q & A: In this evolving and growing community, I will answer as many of your photographic questions directly and honestly-- on a variety of topics from gear to business. If I or the community doesn’t have an answer I will endeavor to find someone who does. Personal Projects: If you want to improve, there's no better way than to take on a personal project.The community and I will weigh-in with insights, thoughts and suggestions. We're in this together.
Nikon: If you're a Nikon shooter take advantage of the $12 Tier where you will find lots of great content and downloads specifically for those that choose Nikon. I have been a Nikon shooter my entire photographic life and have had the good fortune of doing many assignments for Nikon Global in Japan. Take advantage of my Nikon experience and know-how. All questions will be answered.
Other Rewards: Check all tiers to see rewards like hard-copy limited edition books and prints, workshops, workshops discounts, mentorships and new rewards added as this page and community evolves. Let's do this...

My goal here is to do everything I know to help make you the photographer you know you can be—while we encourage each other to boldly elevate our work as we pursue our photographic goals and dreams. My plan is to provide you with all the inspiration and information you need to succeed then it's up to you to get to work! Thinks of this as a Passionate Photographer University of sorts where everything shared is designed to up your photographic game and build confidence.
