DRIFT & PINE CONTENT DAYS:

• High cost for just one look or setup
• Focused more on trends than on meaningful storytelling
• Crowded and competitive. No fighting for the same angles
• Photos often end up looking the same
• Feels more posed than personal
• Styling can sometimes overshadow the real moments

THE  CONTENT  DAY  DIFFERENCE

HOW Drift & Pine's CONTENT DAYS WORK

NARRATIVE-DRIVEN ENVIRONMENTS

NARRATIVE-DRIVEN ENVIRONMENTS

AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS

STORY-ENHANCING STYLING

STORYTELLER'S FREEDOM

COLLECTIVE CREATIVITY

Each Content Day features 3-5 carefully selected environments designed with storytelling in mind. We create scenes with narrative potential, not just pretty backdrops, and allowing you to apply your storytelling approach to fresh contexts.

I work with real couples, who have genuine connections and chemistry. These subjects are briefed on natural interaction rather than posing, creating authentic emotional moments for you to capture.

Our styling approach is intentionally subtle, meaningful, adding context and depth to the narrative without overshadowing genuine moments. Props and wardrobe are selected to complement the story rather than dominate it.

While we provide the setting and subjects, you bring your unique storytelling voice. Each environment is designed with multiple narrative possibilities, allowing you to interpret and capture according to your distinctive approach.

Connect with a small community of fellow storytelling photographers (8 max) who understand the value of authentic narrative. This isn't about competition. It's about mutual inspiration and the exchange of creative perspectives.

Photographer, Content Day host, and someone who’s been exactly where you are.

I'm  Payton 

I created these experiences for photographers who are ready to feel inspired again. Whether you’ve been in a creative rut or just need a fresh spark. This is your space to slow down, reconnect with your “why,” and create work that feels like you.

You’ll explore epic locations, get familiar with natural light and terrain, and walk away with images that elevate your portfolio in a meaningful way, not just pretty photos, but stories that move people.

If you’ve been craving a reset, something that reignites your creativity and reminds you why you picked up a camera in the first place...
