A 7 week live group mentoring experience for photographers and creatives who are tired of feeling stuck, and want to start creating with more clarity, consistency and confidence.
Most of the people I work with have watched the videos, read the books, and listened to the podcasts...
and yet somehow, they're still stuck.
They know exactly what productive and successful photographers do, and they want to be creating more. Sometimes they compare themselves to others, whilst knowing it's unhelpful. Often they're just waiting for the right time, but that time never actually arrives.
If any of this sounds familiar, there's a good chance that more knowledge or the time being right aren't the things that you need either.
I've found that there's usually something else going on... something lying beneath the procrastination and the perfectionism, and the constant cycle of thinking about starting instead of actually following through.
Everything inside The Creative Reset Live works towards understanding what that is, because once you can see it clearly, that's when things really start to change. It doesn't happen magically overnight, but it does happen in a meaningful way that actually lasts way into the future.
By the end of The Creative Reset Live, my goal is that you'll:
People often want to work with me thinking that they need more confidence, or more clarity, or more motivation.
What I've found is that confidence is a result of the work we do, rather than something we need to build in order to start.
You will stop waiting until you feel confident before you start.
You will stop treating every difficult day as proof you're failing.
You will start creating more consistently because you understand what's been getting in the way.
You will spend less time battling with yourself, and more time making the work that matters to you.
It probably is if...
It probably isn't if...
These are the sessions where we look at what is actually happening and how we get around it.
Each week I'll guide the group through the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that seem to keep so many photographers and creatives stuck. This is part teaching and part discussion. This is where things start to make sense in a way that they probably haven't before.
All of these sessions are recorded, so you can revisit them whenever you need to.
Many of us spend years ruminating on the same questions, frustrations and doubts, often feeling like nobody else thinks like this.
These weekly hot seats are a chance to bring whatever you are struggling with into the room and work through it together.
One of the biggest things people discover is that they aren't alone in this at all. Somebody else's question often ends up being exactly the thing that you needed to hear.
Most of the breakthroughs don't happen on the calls. They happen in the time in between. They happen when you take something you've understood and start applying it to what you do in the real world.
The challenges, activities and exercises throughout the programme are designed to help you build evidence that change is actually possible, rather than just giving you more things to think about.
In order to keep this together, I've designed the workbook. The workbook will give you access to all the exercises that tie the programme together. This means that keeping track of it, building the evidence, and being able to access that whenever you need it is as straightforward as possible.
We can often assume that we're the only ones dealing with self-doubt, procrastination, comparison and creative block, but I hope by now you've seen that that is not the case.
The self-contained community space is where everyone can get together to ask questions, tell stories, but most importantly, connect with each other and support each other through this. The community space is where the programme lives, and as this is a new feature, there are more details on what it includes below.
We deliberately pause for 1 week.
I found this pause to be crucial because this is often the point where things come together and the real changes happen. Instead of rushing on to the next thing, you'll have a bit of space to sit with everything you've discovered, some time to start applying it, and you'll begin to notice things shifting.
Six months after the programme finishes, we'll come back together as a group.
We'll look at what's changed, what has stuck, where you've made progress, and where you might still be finding it hard to break out of old patterns.
This work doesn't finish when the programme ends. In fact, it will probably be stuff that is integrated into your photography for the rest of your life. Meaningful change takes time. It's often only when you look back that you realise how far you've come, which is why we have the 6-month check-in.
The Diagnosis. Where are you actually stuck, and why?
We start by calling out what's really happening. In week 1, you'll begin to uncover the real blocks beneath the excuses and stories you keep telling yourself. You'll uncover patterns that you previously couldn't name or weren't aware of, and you'll see that you're not the only one that's been struggling with them.
Creative Identity. What kind of creative work do you actually want to produce?
Being unsure of creative identity and where we are taking it is the root cause behind many of the blocks that we experience. This week, you will do the work needed to find out what you're truly drawn to rather than what you think you should be doing. This is the week where the fog starts to clear.
The Inner Monologue. What is that voice in your head telling you?
There's a voice that I call the inner critic, and this voice shows up in me, and every single person I've worked with. We all have it, but often don't realise how much it has been holding us back. This week you will name it, understand where it comes from, and start working with it rather than against it.
Your Purpose. Why does this actually matter to you?
This is the deepest week. As we get into week 4, you've named your blocks, tapped into your creative identity, and started working with your inner critic. That foundation allows week 4 to unfold. Here, we ask the bigger questions. This is the why, to Week 2's what. The work done here frames everything going forwards.
WC 26th October: One week of deliberate space. We've had 4 increasingly deep weeks of inner work. This break exists so you can properly sit with the realisations, the understanding and the shift needed. Then, we move into momentum.
Creative momentum. How do you start, and then keep it going?
Now that you have a clear direction to build creative momentum towards, we need to create the conditions to make it possible. Running specific challenges, focussing on reducing friction, and integrating accountability that doesn't feel like pressure. This is where we close the gap that feels like it's always been sat between inspiration and action.
Integration. What will your creative life look like from here?
The programme closes here, but what we've learnt, the habits we're forming, and the work we're doing? None of it stops. This is where everything sticks, as you make a promise to your future self. Here, we acknowledge our ongoing commitment to carry this on, and signal that with the 6 month check in.
May 2027 - The whole group comes back together. This is one session to see what has changed, what has stuck, and work out what you need next. This is included in the programme.
I've spent most of my adult life building towards a creative career that always made sense, but most of that time I was wondering why it felt so hard.
I remember being told as a teenager that photography and filmmaking weren’t ‘proper jobs’. I had a diagnosis of ADHD at 43 that finally explained a lot about why the traditional path that is beaten into us never worked for me. I had 8 years studying for degrees that eventually went nowhere, and years spent in corporate environments that frustrated me in ways I just didn’t understand. When I finally felt brave enough to start working for myself, the pandemic almost wiped out everything I'd spent years building towards.
I got through all this, but I still felt stuck. I remember a couple of years ago still feeling paralysed despite consuming more self development and creative business content than most people would in a lifetime.
What changed everything though was not another book, framework or course. It was starting to understand myself properly: where the friction came from, the unhelpful beliefs I was carrying, the stories that had been negatively shaping my behaviour for years.
The last two years, things have really moved forwards in ways I still can’t believe, and that, ultimately, is where The Creative Reset Live comes from.
I built this because I want other people to reach that point as well, without the added decade of frustration, loneliness and guesswork.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be as a career like me. More just as a better way of living, with creative fulfilment being an integral part of that.
Life is better when you make stuff.
You deserve the freedom to have that.
"My confidence has shifted in a real and lasting way. I talk about my work with a calm certainty instead of second-guessing everything."
— Dan, fine art landscape photographer
"It does not matter how little a person knows or how lost a person is creatively — Rick is very good at providing clarity where there does not appear to be any."
— Alex, travel and documentary photographer
"Rick saw something in me that I didn't know was there."
— Ari, portrait photographer
"I came in overwhelmed, full of ideas but no structure, constantly second-guessing myself. This helped me get clarity, build momentum, and finally start moving forward."
— Brendan, landscape & wildlife photographer
"If someone is in a creative block or has lost the joy of photography, it really is the best medicine."
— Hendrik, landscape photographer
The common theme isn't better photography, or knowing more about a certain way of creating.
It's that people start relating to themselves differently. And when that changes, everything else tends to follow.
My brand new community space, currently in beta, which launches widely later this year. A supportive, kind, honest group for photographers and creatives from around the world, all growing creatively while staying motivated and inspired.
You can expect regular guests, challenges, and additional content from me that won't be available anywhere else. This is a place to make friends, to support each other, and where we can all grow together in the knowledge that everyone involved cares.
Weekly community challenges for the duration of the cohort. Each week, the community challenge winner will get a 45-minute one-on-one Zoom call directly with me.
Extra content throughout the cohort, on top of the core curriculum.
Editing has come up time and time again as something that past students struggle with, so I've started giving everyone my preset pack absolutely free. You can see exactly what I do when I edit a photo and how those changes impact different photos that you've taken.
This is the first time I'm running the programme in this format. The content and the approach are proven: I've worked through them in 1:1 coaching and have seen what actually changes things for people like you. The group format is new, and I know that progress made together is always greater than when you try and do things on your own.
I want the founding cohort to help shape what The Creative Reset Live looks like in the future. In return for a reduced rate, I'll ask for honest feedback and a testimonial at the end. That price goes up for Cohort 2, which starts in January.
The Creative Reset Live
7 weeks (6 teaching + integration week) of live group coaching, community, workbooks, and challenges built around action.
Doors close 27th September
You have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. However, by ticking the box above to confirm, you expressly request that the Programme begin before the end of the 14-day cancellation period, and you acknowledge that once the Programme has begun, you will not be entitled to a full refund.
Please tick the box above to confirm you've read the Terms & Conditions and understood the cancellation waiver before continuing to payment.
Once your payment is confirmed you'll receive an onboarding questionnaire and everything you need ahead of 28th September.
Does what kind of photographer I am matter?
No. What we cover in this goes far beyond what you choose to point a camera at!
I genuinely believe that if you're struggling with any aspect of creative work (filmmaking, painting, writing... it doesn't have to be photography), then what you take away from this programme will have exactly the same impact.
Is this a course I can work through in my own time?
No. This is live. The calls and the spaces between them are where the work happens. Showing up, being honest, doing the process alongside other people going through the same thing. If you want something self-paced, this isn't it.
As mentioned, calls are recorded and will be uploaded within 24 hours, so if you can't make the live call, you will not lose pace as a result of that. I want this to be accessible to everyone, no matter what time zone you are in, because there is an awful lot of value in moving through this together and not allowing the momentum to fall away.
How does joining work?
The links above take you to the direct payment page. Paying in full gets you access for £497, but if you want to split the payment, it is a little more expensive but allows you to pay half now and the other half in a few weeks' time. As soon as you have paid, your place is confirmed. You'll then receive a welcome email and onboarding questionnaire from me within 24 hours. The first call will be on Monday 28th September, and the community will open up a few days before that.
What platform are the calls on, and when are they?
All calls are on Zoom. Teaching sessions run on Mondays, followed straight after by a short live Q&A. Hot seats run on Thursdays. Times are flexible and will be dictated well in advance of the call date. It is genuinely hard to fix exact times in advance across a global cohort, and I'd rather adjust week to week than pick a time that ends up not working for anybody due to the fact that calls are recorded. Not being able to attend live won't mean you get a lesser experience. If timings are a real concern, please send me over an email.
What if I can't make every call?
You will not get a compromised experience, provided that you keep pace with the call recordings (and I'll make sure through the community that people are doing that!)
The hot seat format is built for anybody to bring a question, whether it relates to that week's teaching or something else. If you want to ask a question and can't attend the hot seat, send it over in advance of this and I will make sure it's covered on the call. You will then be able to see the recording of this later.
Being live is where the most direct access to me happens, but as an ADHD father of two, I realise that life does get in the way sometimes! The programme is designed around that in the best possible way.
If you have any other questions, please send me an email rick@rickbebbington.com
"I thought I was the only one."
You're not. And if more information was the answer, you'd probably have solved this already.
