Meet your mentor

Hi, I'm Michiel Ton. Awesome to meet you!

My story as a Festival & Event photographer started - with my friends! We loved dance music, and one of my friends started Exclusive.com. This website got a lot of attention and we were invited to events, like Ultra Music Festival. I helped our team of international photographers with their assignments. But at one moment I thought: “I can shoot photos too!”

And so, I discovered my passion for photography! What started as a hobby later turned into a fulltime job. And better than I expected, it grew to be a well-paid business.

Also nice to know: teaching is another passion of mine! I finished my bachelor degree as a teacher in social studies.

Creating a course about Building a Fulltime Photography Business was the next step for me. It combines my love for photography and teaching. I’m so excited to be your (virtual) mentor and share it with you!
