You can choose between a quarterly subscription or an annual membership. You can only cancel after the end of your payment term (which varies for each person). If you’ve already started a period, it cannot be refunded.

Every month, you’ll get access to a new masterclass, a live review session, and a Q&A session.
In the agenda on Huddle, you’ll always see which events are scheduled and when you can join.

No problem! All sessions are recorded and you can watch them at your convenience. They will be available for 1 month in the online platform, and after that, a new session will be uploaded.

The investment for CONNECT is €135 per quarter or €450 per year. This gives you access to all the masterclasses, review sessions, Q&A sessions, and the supportive community.

You can manage your subscription at any time via https://portal.plugandpay.nl/login/donkerekamer-13464 or by emailing info@donkerekamer.com.

If you cancel too late, we make no exceptions, so you are responsible for unsubscribing in advance.

No, when canceling, all videos and bonuses included in the membership will be revoked.

Yes, absolutely! Within The Donkere Kamer Membership, there are several ways you can ask your questions:

Via Huddle: Ask your question to the community of photographers or to the DDK team. Here you can share experiences and get feedback from like-minded individuals.

Monthly live Q&A sessions: As a member of CONNCET, you get exclusive access to our monthly live Q&A sessions via Zoom. Every month, you can ask your questions live, allowing you to get immediate answers, ask follow-up questions, and learn from each other.

Whether you have questions about technical skills, business strategies, or creative processes, these interactive sessions are designed to support and inspire you. This is the chance to gain valuable insights and grow together with other photographers. 🚀

Masterclass: During the monthly masterclass with an international photographer, you'll have the chance to ask your questions directly.

Exclusive podcast: Do you have a specific topic you’d like to discuss? Submit your theme, and I’ll cover it as a topic in an exclusive members-only podcast.

So, there are plenty of opportunities to ask your questions and get direct valuable feedback!

Monthly Masterclasses with Top Photographers
Every month, you can join a live online masterclass with a top photographer from the industry. These photographers not only share their technical skills but also their creative processes and insights into how they built their careers. This is your chance to learn directly from the best. Can't attend live? No problem! You’ll receive the replay by email and have access to watch it at your own pace for a month. These masterclasses provide not only inspiration but also practical tools that you can immediately apply to your own work.

Live Review Sessions with Kaat Celis and Guest Photographers
In these sessions, you'll listen as Kaat, together with a guest photographer, reviews and provides feedback on work. This is an incredibly valuable moment where you’ll learn how to look critically at your own work and make improvements that help you grow. It’s also your chance to ask questions and receive personalized feedback. These sessions go beyond just technical tips; we dive deeper into creative concepts, storytelling, and the business side of photography. For example, how can you present your work in a way that stands out to clients? How do you ensure your images stand out in a crowded market? These sessions are a goldmine of insights to help you think more strategically and creatively.

Access to an Active, Supportive Community of Photographers
One of the greatest strengths of CONNECT is access to an exclusive online community. Here, you’ll connect with other photographers who, like you, have the ambition to grow and take their work to the next level. The beauty of this community is that it’s not just about technical questions. You can also ask about business strategies, creative processes, and even struggles you’re facing in your career. Photographers are often solo artists, but here you no longer have to struggle alone. Instead, you can learn from the experiences of others, collaborate, and motivate each other to grow.

Exclusive Podcast: A Deep-Dive Episode Every Month, Just for You
As a CONNECT member, you get exclusive access to a members-only podcast that Kaat records specifically for you. The best part? You get to choose the topics! You’ll share the challenges you’re facing—whether creative or business-related—and Kaat will dive deep into them. Whether it’s tips for finding new clients, developing your own style, or breaking through creative blocks, this podcast is here to answer your specific questions. It’s like having a personal conversation with Kaat each month, where she helps you move forward with your photography and career.

Monthly Live Q&A Sessions
As a CONNECT member, you get exclusive access to our monthly live Q&A sessions via Zoom. Every month, you can ask your questions directly, allowing you to get immediate answers, ask follow-up questions, and learn from others. Whether you have questions about technical skills, business strategies, or creative processes, these interactive sessions are designed to support and inspire you. This is your chance to gain valuable insights and grow together with other photographers. 🚀

Ticket for De Donkere Kamer Live Show in Genk, Ghent, or Antwerp
Nothing is more powerful than live meetings! As a member, you get access to one of the live shows in Genk, Ghent, or Antwerp. This is the perfect opportunity to meet photographers and industry professionals, engage in conversation, and make valuable connections. These shows are known for their inspiring interviews, discussions, and the unique chance to network with like-minded photographers. It’s not just an event—it’s a way to expand your network and create opportunities for collaborations or new assignments.

Monthly Mastermind Sessions
Every month, we host a mastermind session where you can brainstorm with other photographers and share insights. In small groups of up to four participants, you’ll have the chance to bring forward your most pressing question or challenge. During the session, you’ll receive valuable feedback and advice from your peers, and discover new perspectives that will help you grow in your photography and career. The sessions are efficiently facilitated to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak, maximizing the value of the time spent.

How much you get out of it depends on your effort. The membership is designed to continuously improve your knowledge and skills, but it also requires action on your part. By participating in the masterclasses, asking questions during the review sessions, and actively contributing to the community, you can get a lot of value from your membership. Members who participate actively often see great progress in their work and network

We understand that everyone has a busy life. That’s why the masterclasses and review sessions are designed so that you can follow them at your own pace. The live sessions are recorded, so you can watch them whenever it suits you. This means you don’t always have to be present live to benefit from the content.

This membership is ideal for photographers who take their work seriously and are willing to invest in their growth. Whether you're an advanced photographer or just starting your career, as long as you're eager to learn, grow, and expand your network, this membership is for you. However, if you're looking for a 'quick fix' or aren't interested in collaboration and feedback, then this membership may not be the right choice for you.

The membership is flexible and can be taken on a monthly or yearly basis, depending on your preference.

Monthly membership: You pay per month and can cancel at any time after the payment period has passed.

Annual membership: This gives you access for a whole year.

Regardless of the option you choose, the membership remains active as long as you continue the payment. So, you can stay a member for as long as you want

The language of communication within Connect is English because photography doesn’t stop at a language or country border, and because I also want to bring input, inspiration, and expertise from outside Belgium into Connect, which isn’t possible if we continue doing this in Dutch. This is an additional reason why Connect is valuable: we aim high and we aim international. This will serve you as well, even if you’re feeling some resistance to this language thing right now. Photography is a universal language. Everyone understands your photos outside of Belgium.
