The Most Unique Photography Retreat in the world- produces astounding results!
By: Jessica McKnight Photography
Jessica McKnight is more than a photographer—she is a creative leader, a business mentor, and the force behind some of the most unique and transformative photography retreats in the world. In addition to running a successful photography studio, Jessica is a business coach for photographers who want to scale their income, elevate their artistry, and build purpose-driven careers. Her retreats have become internationally recognized, drawing attendees from across the globe and featuring some of the most influential photographers in the industry, including Lindsay Adler, Pratik Naik, Bella Kotak, Jerry Ghionis, Melissa Ghionis, Marco Ibanez, Cate Scaglione, and more. Together, they create immersive, world-class learning environments that photographers simply can’t find anywhere else.
What makes Jessica’s retreats so extraordinary is the way they blend education, artistry, healing, and adventure into one unforgettable experience. Photographers dive deep into lighting, posing, styling, fine-art direction, post-production, and business strategy while also participating in morning yoga, meditation, and powerful mindset sessions. Cultural excursions, hands-on creative shoots, and breathtaking locations—such as Costa Rica, Iceland, and beyond—ignite new levels of inspiration. Jessica’s signature “Circle of Authenticity” creates a safe space for photographers to openly discuss industry challenges, mental health, competition, and imposter syndrome. These retreats also include bonding exercises that forge genuine friendships, support systems, and creative partnerships that last a lifetime. No other retreat combines education, personal growth, creativity, and emotional wellness the way Jessica does.
Investing in continued education is essential for photographers who want to remain competitive, confident, and creatively fulfilled. Ongoing growth allows photographers to bring higher-quality work to their clients, charge what they’re truly worth, and avoid burnout by reconnecting with their passion. These retreats help photographers unlock deeper creativity, overcome imposter syndrome, and find meaningful balance in both business and life.
