BEGIN DEEPENING

Step out of your own way and create the deeply meaningful artwork only you can create

An 8-week group mentoring program.
Starts, October 7th

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re curious about making work that goes beyond “pretty pictures” - something that holds meaning, tells a story, and reflects your unique point of view.

  • You’re craving focus, clarity, and a creative jumpstart without the overwhelm of a long-term commitment.

  • You start and stop and can’t seem to gain momentum with your creative practice.

  • You do so much better with accountability, support and encouragement.


    Than this mentoring program
    is perfect for you.

Begin Deepening is an 8-week small group mentorship program that gives you the foundational tools, practices, and confidence to start creating deeply personal, resonant photographs while building confidence in yourself and a belief in the importance of your work.

What You’ll Get:

  • Weekly 1.5-hour group mentoring sessions (live on Zoom) with guidance, feedback, and direction tailored to you.

  • A grounding breathwork and writing practice to set intentions and focus your creative momentum.

  • Action steps each week to build a meaningful photographic series one image at a time.

  • A clear understanding of how to infuse your photographs with metaphor, symbolism, and your own deeply personal narrative.

  • A deep confidence about your work and of where it could go next, whether you continue into the full Deepening mentorship program or pursue your own path.

This is For You If…

You’re ready to move beyond snapshots and into creating art that’s unmistakably yours, but you want a shorter, guided start.

OR

You’ve already started a body of meaningful work, but you can’t seem to gain momentum and feel unsure about whether it’s good or not and need guidance moving forward.

Catherine Just is an interdisciplinary artist, photographer, and mentor whose work explores intimacy, longing, belonging, and the unseen aspects of human connection. Working with Polaroid, 4x5 large format film, cyanotypes, and hand-stitched imagery, her photographs become vessels for metaphor, memory, and the unspoken. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Paris, Los Angeles, Milan Photo Fair, Photo London, and beyond, and published on the cover of National Geographic and in O Magazine, among others.

As a mentor, she weaves 38 years of sobriety, Toltec teachings from her apprenticeship with The Four Agreements author Miguel Ruiz, and her deep understanding of conceptual photography into group programs, retreats, and 1:1 sessions. Catherine’s practice invites others to create from the deepest parts of themselves — producing work that is unmistakably their own. She is based in Los Angeles and travels frequently for exhibitions, photo sessions, and teaching.
