The FW27 instructor lineup is officially here, and it is next level!
First up we are thrilled to welcome the amazing Erika Mann from Two Mann Studios to the FW team. Based in the Canadian Rockies, Erika is known for her bold, highly sought-after documentary style that completely transcended traditional wedding photography.
Her unique perspective is shaped by years of traveling through 27 countries with her family. When she isn't capturing stunning weddings, you can find her sea kayaking or canoeing through the Yukon wilderness.
Erika is a FW alumni who became one of the most sought after wedding photographers and educators in the industry. She will be bringing loads of teaching experience to FW27 and we are so excited to see her shine in the FW environment.

Great work doesn’t just happen — it’s built through honest, unfiltered feedback.
This Friday, FW teacher Erwin Darmali goes live in The HUB to review Foundation Alum Angie Roberts’ images in real time.
Unbiased feedback is one of the fastest ways to grow your craft and and it’s at the heart of what we do in The HUB: our new dedicated online space to discuss, share, and support the documentary photo community.
Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or still finding your eye, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss. Erwin's insight is unparalleled.
The HUB is free to explore with a 30-day preview (no pre purchase required).
Drop into the comments for the link and come see what it’s all about.
Your portfolio looks technically perfect. So does everyone else's.
The real problem isn't skill—it's "Shot List Paralysis." When you shoot from a checklist, you stop seeing what's actually in front of you. The result? Work that blends into the crowd and clients who shop on price, not vision.
The photographers who stand out aren't the ones with the best gear. They're the ones brave enough to put down the rulebook and shoot what they actually find interesting. After all, your clients don't hire you for a checklist. They hire you for the way you see the world.
Join veteran wedding photographers Tyler Wirken and Ben Chrisman for The Art of Seeing—a free online workshop designed to help you ditch the rulebook, develop your unique visual voice, and build a brand that genuinely stands out.
