1:1 Photography & Creativity Mentoring
Receive 1:1 support and guidance to improve your photography and your relationship to it.
1:1 mentoring is a highly personalized space dedicated to supporting you in achieving your creative goals. Committed clients experience increased clarity in their vision, more trust in their capabilities, and new perspectives that energize their photography.
Possible session topics:
Image reviews with an exploration of your strengths and growth edges
Curation of selections from your photography in general
Creation/curation of a project or portfolio
Talking generally about your body of work and your vision, goals, and intentions for it
Establishing priorities for your creative development and a plan for honoring them
Exploring new opportunities or challenges you’re having, such as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or indecisive
Whatever will move you towards feeling greater creative confidence, clarity, and energy
As a professional certified coach (credentialed as a PCC through the International Coach Federation) with 18 years of experience, my priority is supporting you in developing the capacity to support yourself. That includes taking a coaching approach to image reviews so that you learn to self-assess with more confidence.
I’m not going to look at your images and tell you what’s “right” and “wrong” with them and how to fix them. Instead, we have a conversation that starts by identifying/clarifying your intention and vision for an image. Then we look at the expressive and technical elements and how they can be brought into alignment with your intention.
When it comes to your relationship to photography (the “inner game”), I provide a space where we can sift through mental clutter; build awareness of any thoughts, patterns, beliefs, and blind spots that might be holding you back; develop practices that move you forward; and highlight resources that set you up for success. I’ll offer experiences, ideas, and feedback if that’s what is most useful to you; mostly, however, I’ll be asking you a lot of questions intended to facilitate new ways of thinking/seeing and increase your clarity and awareness.
