FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS,

Education is important to me, and it should be important to you! In the digital age there are so many resources to improve your craft, and I love to share my experience and advice on topics such as business, workflow, editing, and more. I don’t believe in “hiding” knowledge, but instead building an amazing horse photography community. I’ve met so many amazing photographers through online mentorships, workshops, styled shoots, and lecture-hall type settings, and I’d like to share what I’ve learned along the way with you. I hope to offer an unique insight into equine photography built on my experience and success in the industry.


I’ve been doing Black Background sessions for a few years now, however I’ve always struggled with the time it was taking to edit the images. I recently purchased Giana’s BBG Editing Guide and was completely blown away how some of the neatest tricks could help speed up the post process time! Giana has an excellent eye for detail and walks you through the process in a clear and precise way. I always say you can never stop learning in this industry. Invest in yourself, your business, and your education! Highly recommend giving Giana’s mentorships or photographer guides a shot! You will learn something no matter what level of experience you are at.

MENTORSHIPS

Giana Terranova Photography offers one-on-one mentorships in the spirit of community over competition. I love to meet new photographers and share what I've learned over the years, so I've decided to add mentorships to the list of services I offer! Whether you are just starting off your business, looking to improve, or just learn different styles of editing, posing, and marketing, there is an option for everyone! Each session is specifically tailored to your needs and level of expertise to ensure you learn as much as possible. 

I HIGHLY recommend learning from Giana. I took her editing class & her travel/private client class while on a retreat and it has been a game changer for me and my business. She is worth every penny! Before I took her courses, I knew I was wasting time and needed a fix for my editing and needed to learn more about when I travel to clients and accepting private clients. After taking her class, I have a better understanding of how to edit those “hard parts and tricky situations”, as well as how to handle travel/private clients. It was beyond helpful and I obtained so much knowledge.

I had the pleasure of investing in and learning from Giana during a one to one mentorship. Giana was open, friendly, and super knowledgeable about her editing style, poses, and business practices. She walked me through several edits, answered all my questions, and encouraged me with my own style and growing business. I would HIGHLY recommend her, not only for the mentorship programs, but as a photographer too! I can not wait to learn more from her over this coming year!!
