Shooting for Brands with Andrew Kearns

Shooting for Brands with Andrew Kearns — the career-pivot playbook, from barista to Apple client

The gist: a practical business course on the pitch-to-payment pipeline for anyone building a freelance photography career from scratch.

• Career-change proof of concept: instructor Andrew Kearns pivoted from a barista job to commercial clients including Apple, Land Rover, and TOMS — a credible model for a mid-career pivot.
• Curriculum focus: "master the steps to pitch, secure, and execute commercial shoots" — the exact gap most self-taught creators hit when trying to monetize a skill.
• Format: on-demand video lesson, part of Moment's Creator Business course track (business skills, not technique).
• Level: geared toward creators with an existing portfolio looking to convert it into recurring paid work.

Moment's course page positions this explicitly as a pitching/business workshop rather than a photography-technique class, consistent with Kearns's documented barista-to-Apple/Land Rover/TOMS career arc.

Best for: career-changers building a freelance photography income stream who need the business side, not more technique. Skip it if: you don't yet have sample work to pitch with. Runs ~$50 — check the current price before buying.
