Learn from Dasha Pears
Dear fellow photographer, if you’re mesmerized by my art and want to learn from me this is the page for you. During my career, I’ve conducted about 8 online courses and around 10 on-site group photography workshops, as well as dozens of private photography lessons. My goal was not simply to teach people how to shoot surreal portraits but to learn to think creatively, express themselves, and tell powerful visual stories with simple materials that can be found at hand, just like I do. This page contains all the learning materials that I’m happy to share with you for free + it links to two online courses: a high-quality professionally produced online course “Photocomposition for Fine Art Photography“by Domestika which is really inexpensive (prices vary depending on your location and current platform’s offers) and a course that I’ve developed and produced myself, called “The Art of Visual Storytelling”, which is available for free for one month with my promo link. All the downloadable e-books are free for you to enjoy and learn from. No strings attached. I hope you’ll put my tips to good use!
Learn to Sell Limited Editions
I’ve been selling limited editions since 2019. Since then, over 420 signed original editions of my art have been purchased by renowned collectors in 15+ countries.
During these 7 years, I’ve been getting some things right, some things wrong, and learning a lot along the way. Many artists ask me to share my findings in a more structured way. Therefore, I’m working on a course for photographers who want to start their limited edition business journey.
Who will it be for?
The course will be most beneficial for photographers and visual artists who feel very confident in their practice, have gained recognition, but are unsure how to start monetising their art in a more structured way.
Things that will be covered in the course:
Building a collectable brand
Choosing the work that will sell best
Sizes and editions
Production: papers, printing studios, framing
Signing or not, artist stamp, certificate of authenticity
Packaging & logistics
Pricing and positioning
Online sales: personal website, socials, art-specific online marketplaces
In-person direct sales, galleries, shows
My top failures and what I learned from them
