How Mentoring Works
Discovery
Begin with a free consultation to discuss your goals, challenges, and what you’d like to achieve. This helps tailor the mentoring program specifically for you.
Customised Learning Plan
Based on your skill level and creative aspirations, I’ll develop a personalised roadmap for you. We’ll work on your preferred medium (or explore multiple), focusing on hands-on learning and practical growth. The plan isn’t set in stone—you’ll add your input so it’s exactly what you want.
Mentoring
Sessions can be held in-person or online, with a mix of theoretical teaching, practical demonstrations, and creative exercises. You’ll also get feedback and support on ongoing projects.
Ongoing Support and Feedback
After each session, you’ll receive follow-up feedback and assignments to help apply what you’ve learned. I’ll also be available to answer questions and provide critiques between sessions.
If you’d like to talk to me about your goals in photography and/or video, why not get in touch for a free consultation?

Building on your Portfolio Review, the Skills Development package is a focused three-session programme tailored to deepen your expertise in a specific area of photography or video. This package is perfect if you’re looking to refine a particular skill, learn a new technique, or explore an area of creative practice that intrigues you. We’ll work together to create a hands-on learning plan designed to help you grow through practice and guided exploration.
Each Skills Development package is bespoke, allowing us to address the areas that are most relevant to your needs and interests. You might want to dive into:
- Film Techniques: such as pushing and pulling film, understanding its effects, and when to use it.
- Lighting Mastery: from natural light to creative studio setups
- Composition and Style: enhancing the impact and clarity of your shots.
- Editing and Post-Production: learning the techniques to bring out your vision in the final image.
If multiple areas arise from your Portfolio Review, we can develop a series of Skills Development packages, each focused on a different aspect of your practice.
In each session, we’ll review your progress, discuss any challenges, and work together to set achievable goals, so you can see your skills improve steadily. My approach is hands-on and reflective, encouraging you to learn by doing while guiding you to ask the right questions to further your understanding.
