One-on-One Photography Mentorship and Editing

A dedicated mentorship accelerates your growth in a way that self-guided learning simply can’t. With more than 30 years of experience as a visual journalist working for publications around the world, I bring insight into the craft, the industry, and the realities of building a long-term career. Working one-on-one with you means every session is tailored to your goals, your pace, and the specific challenges you face, whether you are a professional or an enthusiast.

Instead of spending years navigating the field through trial and error, mentorship provides clear direction, honest feedback, and the perspective needed to move forward. It’s a space to refine your voice and sharpen your visual storytelling. You decide how long you want to work together—whether it’s a short, intensive boost or an ongoing partnership as your work evolves.

What the mentorship can include:

• Personalized guidance to strengthen your photography and visual storytelling
• Editing and sequencing support to shape cohesive bodies of work
• Professional critique and feedback on ongoing or completed projects
• Career development and strategy for building a sustainable practice
• Navigating today’s changing and challenging photography industry
• Contest and award submission editing
• Researching, pitching, and shaping story/project ideas
• Support tailored entirely to your goals, needs, and creative path
