The problem
How it works
It all happens in one place, and everything is recorded. Missing a month costs you nothing.
One link, one payment, and you are inside. Month to month, no contract.
Book club, masterclass, live Q&A, open forum. Some months you will do all of it. Some months you will read quietly, and that is fine.
Post it for critique and get specific notes back, from me and from photographers who take it seriously.
Members
Photographers, and a few people who came for the books and stayed for the conversation.
Student win
A world I did not know yet
“It is a wonderful way to connect with like-minded people, and I am especially grateful for Matt bringing these guests into our lives, people I probably would not otherwise get the chance to speak to. It is also very meaningful to see others being vulnerable during the meet ups.”
What's inside
Every episode 48 hours before public release, plus the after the mic conversations that do not go anywhere else.
We read, discuss and pull apart books and photobooks together. Guest authors join when I can get them. So far: Sean Tucker, Bryan Schutmaat, Pie Aerts.
Craft, process and creative practice. All of it recorded, and the full library stays open to you.
Bring the question you have been sitting with, or the work you cannot figure out on your own.
Honest and specific, from me and from a group of photographers who take the work seriously.

Who it's for
In their words
“It is always fulfilling to learn from people with different perspectives. Having authors like Sean Tucker gives another valuable addition to this community. It has truly become a crucial monthly source of creativity.”

“We do not just read and review books, we also explore stunning photo books by great photographers, critique other photographers work, and share thoughts that deepen our understanding and spark new ideas.”

About
Photographer and host of The Mood Podcast
I have been a photographer for over 10 years and I host The Mood Podcast. That has put me in conversation with some of the most thoughtful image-makers working right now. Ami Vitale. Bryan Schutmaat. Pie Aerts. Platon. Chris Do. The ones who build something lasting all seem to have the same thing going for them: people they can think out loud with. Style and niche matter far less than that. For a long time I did not have it. I had the work, and the quiet that came with it. I built MOOD Insiders so the conversation could carry on past the end of each episode, and it turns out plenty of other photographers wanted the same thing.
Questions
A book club session, a masterclass, and a live Q&A with me. The forum runs the whole time, and portfolio critiques happen alongside it. Everything gets recorded.
Plenty of members rarely make a live call. Sessions are recorded, the library stays open, and a lot of the real conversation happens in the forum anyway.
No. There are people here who have shown in galleries and people who picked up a camera two years ago. What matters is how seriously you take the work, not how far along you are.
Inside Circle. You get access straight after checkout, and the ad-free podcast feed comes with it.
Any time, in a couple of clicks. No contracts, and you will not be billed again.
Weekly sessions, monthly masterclasses, and conversations that do not feel like content. If that is what you have been looking for, the link is below.
