Photography Coach

Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.

We're seeking an experienced photography coach to work with photographers looking to sharpen their craft and grow their careers. This role includes teaching core photography techniques, lighting techniques, studio setup, and photo editing, as well as guidance across specialties like portrait, landscape, event, commercial, product, and photojournalism work. Coaches also help students build a strong portfolio, develop their personal brand, and grow their presence through social media for photographers, while supporting business goals through freelancing and skill building. For students pursuing roles at studios or companies, coaches provide resume review, cover letters, LinkedIn review, interview prep, and salary negotiation, along with networking strategy to help them build industry connections. Ideal candidates have professional photography experience, prior teaching or coaching experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping students grow both their craft and their career. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.
