Redefining what it means to live from your camera

Education for Creators

Story Remote delivers talks, workshops and education about building a modern creative career as a hybrid photo and video creator. Not just how to shoot, but how to think, position yourself and survive in today’s rapidly changing creative landscape.

Our approach is grounded in real brand work — from cinematic content creation to strategic storytelling with outdoor, travel and purpose-driven partners. This hands-on experience fuels every talk, workshop and future course we offer.

The talks we give

These are not technical masterclasses or gear demos.

Our talks are big-picture, future-focused and designed to spark deeper thinking about what it means to be a creator today.

Core themes include:

  • The rise of the hybrid photo and video creator

  • Why traditional creative career paths are breaking

  • How to build a sustainable life from your camera

  • Storytelling as a competitive advantage in a crowded market

  • Freedom, location independence and creative ownership

  • The mental and practical side of non-traditional careers

These sessions challenge assumptions and give creators and organisations a new framework for thinking about their work and careers — not just technical tips.

From the field to the stage

We speak because we do the work.

Over years of working with brands to craft authentic, emotion-driven content for outdoor, travel and adventure audiences, Story Remote has developed a hybrid creative model that blends:

  • Photography

  • Filmmaking

  • Storytelling

  • Brand strategy

  • Sustainable creative careers

This lived experience has led to opportunities to deliver talks and workshops for brands, community groups and industry partners — including collaborative sessions with Canon — where we explore topics like content business models, creator entrepreneurship, and the shifting landscape of visual storytelling.

Everything we share is rooted in active professional practice, not theory.

Formats we deliver

We adapt these talks to different contexts and audiences.

Common formats include:

  • Keynote talks at conferences and creative events

  • Brand-hosted talks and creator community days

  • Interactive workshops focused on creative thinking and career strategy

  • Panel discussions and moderated conversations

Each session is tailored to the audience but always rooted in real-world practice, client experience and field-tested frameworks. This makes them relevant, memorable and actionable.

Who these talks are for

Our talks and workshops are a strong fit for:

  • Camera and creative brands seeking perspective-driven sessions

  • Photography and filmmaking events

  • Creative conferences and festivals

  • Creator communities, collectives and studios

  • Educational institutions with a focus on creative, business and media careers

If your audience is navigating the future of photography, filmmaking or hybrid content creation, these talks resonate deeply and create impact.

Courses (built from these talks)

Alongside live talks and workshops, we are developing structured courses that expand on the ideas we present on stage.

These courses are built from:

  • The questions we hear most during talks

  • Real brand projects and case studies from Story Remote

  • Systems, workflows and frameworks we use in our own work

Our first full course will be released before our next live talk in April, allowing creators to go deeper than a keynote can reach.

This is not a replacement for live talks — it’s a continuation for those who want structured, practice-driven learning.

What we teach at the core

Across talks, workshops and courses, our education focuses on:

01
Hybrid photo and video workflows that work in the real world

02
Working with brands professionally, not just creating content

04
Building a creative life on your own terms

03
Turning storytelling into sustainable income

Why we do this

We believe the creative industry needs new role models.

Creators who:

  • Understand both craft and business

  • Value sustainability over burnout

  • Build careers instead of chasing algorithms

  • Shape their path rather than fitting a template

By sharing our experience on stage and through education, we aim to raise the standard, expand creative possibilities, and open new pathways for the next generation of storytellers.
