Enroll todayI don't just teach. I still do it professionally.
I'm Kevin Raposo, a Toronto-area media producer who has been shooting professionally for 15+ years.
Over that time, I have had some incredible opportunities. I've shot the MLB World Series, NFL Flag Championships, and CONCACAF Champions Cup. I've worked with brands like Mastercard, WWF Canada, NHL Street, Royal LePage, and Volleyball Canada. I've photographed hundreds of sports, events, and properties across the country and built an audience of 35,000+ subscribers on YouTube along the way.
Here's the thing though: as much as I love being out on assignment, I also love teaching and mentorship. My long-term plan when I got a Master's degree in Media Production was to become a college professor.
But instead, I built Kevin Raposo Academy. When you join, you get 25+ years of academic work and professional assignments distilled into a curriculum you can actually use in the field.
No theory for theory's sake. Just the techniques, business systems, and creative instincts I use every week on real jobs.
I'd love to have you join. See you inside the course!

What our students are saying
Tim Bates, Director of Photography, Ontario Junior Hockey League
“I can emphatically state that Kevin Raposo Academy is a one-stop resource for photographers. The course content is presented in clear, concise training modules that are easy to understand, well-articulated and conducive to learning at your own pace. If you’re looking for value and content that will keep you captivated, this is the program for you.”
Kelvin Oh, Photographer and Owner, ThinkNu Media
“As a self-taught photographer, I was always suffering from imposter syndrome when it came to my skills, and I didn’t have the time or a real desire to go back to school. Kevin Raposo Academy helped fill the gaps in my knowledge pool and even taught me some new tricks to help with things I already thought I’d mastered. If you’re considering turning your hobby into something more, my first recommendation is to try this course to save yourself a lot of time and money.”
“Not only does Kevin have a creative vision, but he clearly understands the business side of media as well.”
Cormac Rea
Senior Communications Coordinator, Canadian Soccer Business
“As a professional sports photographer myself, I can honestly say the workflow described here is nearly perfect. Implementing any of it will speed up anyone's process.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What gear do I need to get started?+
Any modern DSLR or mirrorless camera works. The academy also covers iPhone and Android shooting, so you can start with what you already own and upgrade as your work demands it.
I'm a beginner. Will this work for me?+
Yes. The first module starts from camera basics: aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focusing technique. You don't need prior experience. The curriculum builds from fundamentals all the way to working professionally.
What if I don't have time to finish quickly?+
Lifetime access means you go at your own pace. Watch one module a week, binge it in a weekend, or revisit it years from now. The academy is yours to keep.
What if I don't love it?+
7-day money-back guarantee. No questions, no forms. You keep the Lightroom presets and business templates either way.
Will I get future updates?+
Yes, forever. As I add new modules, editing workflows, or business templates, you get them at no extra cost. Lifetime access means lifetime updates.
Is this for sports photography or real estate?+
How is this different from your free YouTube videos? +
My YouTube channel gives you tips. The academy gives you the full system, in order, with nothing left out. It is built from real paid jobs and includes my Lightroom presets and business templates, walking you from your first manual setting to landing and pricing clients. It is the difference between scattered free clips and one complete, structured path.
Will this actually help me get paid work? +
That is the whole point. A full module covers pricing, contracts, invoicing, and how to land clients, using the exact templates I use on real jobs. The skills are taught the way the work actually happens, so you finish ready to charge for it, not just to shoot for fun.
