Mentorship Program

1:1 Mentoring

learn via zoom

Six hours. Three weeks. Just you and me

OR if you need more time..

Six hours. Six weeks. Just you and me

This is photography learning at its most personal and its most practical - a structured three week program of live, one on one Zoom sessions designed for photographers at any skill level - though if you are an absolute beginner, this program was built with you especially in mind

Not a group class where you hope the questions apply to you.

Not a video course you watch alone

and hope it sticks

This is you and me, face to face, working through everything together - your camera, your questions, your pace.

Let's work out where you are on

your journey....click on button below for full details

Beginner

  • You're a complete beginner - you've never used your camera off AUTO

  • You have a camera but have no idea where to start

  • You've tried to learn before but found other tutorials confusing or too technical

  • You're a visual learner who needs things explained simply, clearly and without jargon

  • You want real feedback on your actual photos not generic advice

  • You want to learn at your own pace without feeling rushed or judged

  • You just want to be able to use your camera properly to get the photo you SEE

Intermediate

  • You're not a complete beginner - you don't use your camera on AUTO mode

  • You have skills you've mastered and you are ready for a technical deep dive into your cameras settings

  • You want to shoot RAW or maybe you already are, and want to learn how to edit

  • You want to understand the Exposure Triangle

  • You want to take photographs not snap shots

  • You want to learn advanced techniques in a way that makes sense to you

  • You want real feedback on your actual photos not generic advice

  • You want to learn at your own pace without feeling rushed or judged

This is not a one size fits all mentorship

I will meet you wherever you are on your photography journey

Beginner or Intermediate

You have two options:

Meet twice a week for three weeks

OR

Meet once a week for six weeks

Each Zoom meet is up to an hour - you may not need the full hour if you grasp the learning

Why a few days between sessions?

Because photography is learned by doing

not only watching.

The gap between sessions is where the

real learning happens.

You go out with your camera, complete your task, take photos, and come bck to the next session with real experience and real questions

Each session follows a simple rhythm:

  • Review your photos from the previous task together

  • Learn the new topic/s for the week

  • Set your task/s to complete before the next sesion
