In Focus: Starting a Personal Project with Stacy Pearsall

What a great presentation!! So much invaluable information shared in a continuing engaging way that held my interest from start to finish. Thank you Ma'am for your service and for bring to light the many different faces of our great veterans.

Ten minutes in and it feels like a quality TED talk tailored just for me. Wow!

Really good class. I completed a personal project and I have been in this limbo trying to figure out what the next steps for my vision would be. Talking about mission statements and purpose really helped me. Great class.

Stacy made starting a project relatable. breaking them down with personal stories made me feel my challenges are not insurmountable.

Ive been struggling to find a personal project for myself. I would like to say Thank you to Stacy for sharing her experiences and advice. Great ideas and direction in finding and starting a personal project. I have a much better understanding on how to go about starting and keeping the project alive, once I figure out what my subject will be.

my personal project is to get people having fun with cameras and incorporate movement into the photos so those people that aren't so steady handed and have movement happening they can't control. simply put, i want to help those that think they can't because of some injury or birth defect take photos that allow for all the movement. i would highly suggest her classes! she is crystal clear and is so helpful!

After watching Stacy Pearsall's class, I thought of a personal project that I could be a part of. When I was 9 years old, my mother passed away quite suddenly. It was totally devastating and very hard on my siblings, myself, and especially our dad. He took on the dual roll of mom and dad. My project would be daughters without mothers.

I've been thinking about what types of personal projects I'd like to do. Perhaps, using a personal portrait to segue into another genre of photography. I'm so glad that I took Stacy's course because it came at the right time for me. She gave excellent advice on how to get started with personal project ideas, and what the most important things are to take into consideration. I'm very excited to implement her advice.

Stacy is very motivating - her guidance is just what I've been searching for to bring focus, structure and motivation to ideas that have been bouncing around my head for the past few years. Thinking of them as a 'personal project' came as an epiphany to me. Stacy has given me the direction that I've needed to get started on my personal project. Thank you Stacy!

Exactly what I needed as I have been vaguely thinking about my own personal project! Thank you!

Well worth the price free :) but to be fair would be worth paying for, I went on to buy Stacy Pearsall Body language course, immediately after watching as I wanted to give something back. Highly recommended Stacy is clearly a very genuine person which comes out via her conversations with audience and that to me means a lot.

Yes. If you like photography you should watch this. If you have a desire to move people with your personal passions, and to grow yourself at the same time, you MUST watch this. Stacy is a great communicator with the authority to teach about personal projects. She helps answer questions like: - What can I draw from my experiences? - What am I willing to forgo in life to benefit someone else? - What is a skill that I have that I can bring to a personal project? In this course Stacy teaches us how to start well, keep balance while staying passionate, set goals, find funding and finishing well. This was the class I was most excite to watch in Photo Week 2017 and I'm so glad I did. Thanks Stacy. "Personal projects should be a healing process too. If you find something that really is diving deep into your own personal life it’s going to force you to reflect on yourself too." - Stacy Pearsall
