Jeff Fried - Photography Mentor

Learn how to think, shoot, and adapt like a working commercial photographer. I’m Jeff Fried, a portrait, editorial, and commercial photographer based in Denver, Colorado. For nearly two decades, I’ve created portraits, lifestyle campaigns, product imagery, and event coverage for brands ranging from small local businesses to global companies like Disney, Samsung, and Burton. My editorial work has appeared in publications including Forbes, Manhattan Magazine, and Americas Quarterly. Photography has taken me around the world and into just about every type of production environment—fast-moving events, structured editorial shoots, corporate campaigns, location work, and studio-controlled setups. Those experiences taught me how to think on my feet, work with any type of subject, and create consistently strong images regardless of constraints. What I enjoy most now is helping other photographers grow. I’ve mentored creatives for years, from absolute beginners learning manual mode to working professionals refining their visual style, pricing structure, portfolio, or business strategy. I built theCamera.School to give photographers a place to learn in a practical, supportive, and genuinely collaborative way. If you’re looking for direct, structured guidance—technical, creative, or business-related—I’m here to help you sharpen your craft and develop your own creative voice.
