WHAT THE PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS OF THE INNER CIRCE ARE SAYING:

Victoria Yokota

“This has been an inspiring, awesome, highly recommended experience that has been like wind under my wings to push my limits, open to new ways of creating, learn exponentially, be fearless in exploring my unique voice and vision, connect with other amazing creative international visual storytellers and receive incredible personal guidance, expertise, and feedback from Sebastian to fly in all that I am.”

Hi, I'm Sebastian, a professional photographer, mentor, and creative entrepreneur.

The Inner Circle is the most powerful and transformative experience I've ever created. After the great response to my previous programs, I have decided to dedicate one year of my life and commit a significant amount of time, effort, and energy to the success of a small and selected group of visual storytellers willing to take their photographic projects, career, and potential to the highest level.

The three first editions of the Inner Circle were extraordinarily successful, and the results and feedback are exceptional.  Since space is very limited (12 participants), I'm only accepting new participants through an application process. 

 How having a Mentor and a Mastermind Group can impact you:

When you connect your vision with the different perspectives of a close group of like-minded people, you get an exponential increase of perspectives. When this is done with a clear intention and under the guidance of a mentor, you get an extensive overview of your projects and your career, helping you see things you couldn't see before. This is the power of the Inner Circle. This is what you will get when joining this selected group that will nurture and potentiate the connection to your voice and your style as a photographer. Nothing is more powerful than getting a clear direction and a sense of purpose to gain confidence in yourself and your work, and I have designed this mentorship program with this goal in mind.

At some point, hard work is just not enough...

Are you stuck in a photographic project?

Have you started different photo stories but don't know which one to focus on?

Does sharing your work feel intimidating?

Are you working hard to level up your career but without a clear plan and with poor results? 

Do you feel alone in your photographic journey? 

I can relate. I remember how, at the beginning of my career, I could think for months about the projects I wanted to create, the magazines I wanted to publish, the clients I wanted to work with... I kept shooting and dreaming, but I didn't feel confident enough or have a clear direction to take the necessary steps in order to accomplish my dreams.

In 2009 I met my first mentor while being part of a fantastic group of photographers, and things took a turn. I got new insights; I was challenged in fresh ways, encouraging me to think big and approach my projects differently. After that encounter, I noticed how my vision and photographic projects grew like never before. The switch was that instead of approaching my projects in an immature and dreamy way, I started taking them seriously. Being surrounded by a group of professional photographers and having a mentor to guide me made a massive difference in my career and my life.

In 2012, thanks to this new mindset, my career exploded, and my work was acclaimed, published, awarded, and exhibited worldwide! 

You see, I discovered that explosive growth in my projects and life wouldn't come simply because I had good ideas or could take good photos. I needed to shift my attitude and approach my goals with intention, determination, and perseverance. This switch led me to an outstanding career as a photographer, and I learned many things along the way.

My mission now is to help you accelerate your photographic career, applying all my experience and offering my guidance to make you grow exponentially. The personal coaching combined with the power of a well-curated and supportive group of photographers that will hold you accountable and share this fantastic journey with you are invaluable and will launch you towards the exceptional and fulfilling career you want.
