Ambitious Photographers, does this sound familiar?

➡️ Are you tired of doing photography work that doesn’t align with your passions - maybe you’re shooting weddings, commercial projects, or hospitality

➡️ Do you dream of sharing your photography projects with the world but lack clarity on how the photo industry works?

➡️ Do you know you have the skills to create some truly remarkable photography, but you’re not sure how to transition away from what you do and get the recognition you know you deserve?

Maybe you've tried...

☑️Pitching your work to potential clients or publications, only to be met with silence or rejection.

☑️ Attending photo festivals and exhibitions, but not knowing how to make the connections needed to take your career to the next level.

☑️ Starting personal projects with great enthusiasm but losing momentum and letting them gather virtual dust on your hard drives.

I have taught hundreds of photographers how to achieve great results for their photographic careers, applying my proven system to elevate their photography storytelling and build a professional network to share their work effectively.

Hear from my mentees...

Astrid Scheuermann

“Sebastian, I wanted to tell you that 4 different newspapers have already published my reportage!

Besides that, I exhibited the photos at the beginning of August in a gallery here in Berlin.

It was super exciting, especially when the protagonists of the photos arrived on the opening night. And just yesterday, my work was shortlisted for the Prix de la Photographie Paris! Thank you very much for the support and guidance to make all this possible!”

Adi Segal

"With your deep trust in the process rather than in the immediate results, your unique and creative perspective on life, and your generosity, I learned so much from you in this period, as a photographer and as a person too. You helped me clear out the fog I felt many times as a freelance photographer, not being sure what next steps I should take to progress with my career. You helped me build a good portfolio, but even more importantly, create a good mindset and workflow that will assist me in the future as much as it´s currently helping me."

But first, let me introduce myself…

I'm Sebastian Liste, an award-winning documentary photographer, Leica Ambassador, member and co-owner of NOOR Images.

NOOR Images is one of the leading photo agencies in the documentary world. NOOR is a global, multilingual collective of highly accomplished photographers, authors, artists, and filmmakers who document, investigate, and witness our world.

Over the past 15 years, I've built a successful career photographing impactful stories for clients like National Geographic, The New York Times, and TIME Magazine. My work has been exhibited worldwide and has earned numerous prestigious awards.

I’m a frequent lecturer on photography at universities, photography schools, and festivals.

Through years of trial and error, I developed a powerful system for creating meaningful projects, building an engaged audience, and unlocking the freedom and success I craved.

And now, I'm sharing this proven method with eager photographers like you, ready to take their photographic career seriously and achieve their greatest goals in the most effective way.

Because I believe that ambitious photographers like you deserves the opportunity to share their vision with the world and get recognition for their photography.

Imagine having...

➡️ The freedom to work on personal projects that truly inspire you. And a clear blueprint to produce powerful projects.

➡️ The knowledge of how to apply for grants and awards to secure funding and recognition for your projects.

➡️ The confidence to navigate the business side of photography, knowing exactly how to pitch your stories, price your work, negotiate with clients, and see your work published.

➡️ The system to build a thriving network and attract your dream clients, publications, and exhibitions.

➡️ A clear roadmap for how to move forward in your photographic career and reach your ambitious goals.

“Sebastian has been amazing in helping me move through blocks such as pitching my story to publications, applying for grants, and starting a book dummy. I'm finding joy in trying, even with the rejections. You have a knack for telling me what I need to hear in a way I need to hear it and I very much appreciate how you meet me with humor, kindness, consideration, and honesty.”

Sara Konradi

"This has been one of the best investments I ever made. I've been immersed into the professional side of visual storytelling. It has given me not only clarity and has made me see photography not just as a creative endeavor but as a serious business like any other. It has given me the clarity I need to pursue meaningful projects as well as an efficient workflow for planning, researching, archiving, editing, sequencing, and presenting my work."

Rafael de la Uz

"It has been three years since I discovered Sebastian’s mentorship programs, and I’ve been enrolled in all of them. Since then, my work has been published in three magazines, most recently in Shadow and Light Magazine. I have produced two successful photo projects. I’m working on a long-term project about Wild Salmon Extinction that has received several grants, including the prestigious Pulitzer Center for Journalism and the Rasmuson Foundation. Last year, I was selected to participate in the Santa Fe Portfolio Review."

Once you have this system in place, you can apply it to your projects again and again. If you know how to take good photos, I will teach you the rest.

It provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap to achieve remarkable results and success on your terms.

What Past Clients Who've Gone Through This Process Have To Say...

Djamal Benmokhtar

"Sebastian is a real pedagogue, with a lot of sensibility, he understands my weak points, my actual situation, my mind, he has a real empathy with people, and he is there when you need him the most, in the ups but also in the down moment when you need extra support. He is faithful and never failed during the time we have been working together.

When I am on the field and desperate, he always helps me to better face and understand the critical situation, and turn things around".

Djamal, just became finalist in the LensCulture Awards and got his work published in the French Magazine Epic. He also got selected to attend the prestigious program “Descubrimientos” from PhotoEspaña Festival and he just got an important exhibition with Doctors of the World for his long-term project on migrants.

I can't wait to help you unlock your full potential and achieve your grandest photography goals.
