Mentorships

In-Person Mentorships
Ideal for photographers who value working together in the same physical space. These one on one sessions allow us to engage directly with work prints, books, maquettes, and studio materials. Together we will edit, sequence, discuss concepts, and explore the possibilities of your project through hands on collaboration.

Photography is more than making individual images. It is learning to recognize the deeper visual language that emerges over time. Whether you are beginning a new project, refining an existing body of work, or preparing for an exhibition or publication, mentorship offers a dedicated space for thoughtful conversation, honest and constructive feedback, and creative growth.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each photographer. Together we will look closely at your photographs, identify the images that define your project, strengthen your editing and sequencing, and develop strategies that help move your work forward with greater clarity and intention.
“Thank you for all of these resources and for all of the intellectual and emotional labor you shared with us during the workshop, it was exceptionally generous on both fronts. You are an amazing teacher and I am so grateful that I found your class. The practical exercises you had us do helped cut through the mental fuzz and put me in touch with my deeper instincts in my work. Your knowledge of the photo book as a form and as a material object is impressive. Thank you for all of the practical information and handouts that you shared with us. I am most grateful for your encouragement, intuition and intense focus to each of our projects.”

Online Mentorships
Designed for photographers anywhere in the world, online mentorship offers the same personalized guidance through video sessions and shared edits. Together we will review your work, refine your edit, strengthen your visual narrative, and create a clear path forward, whether you are developing a long term project, preparing for an exhibition or publication, or seeking thoughtful feedback on your practice.

Group Mentorships
Group mentorship brings together a small cohort of photographers working on individual projects in a supportive and engaging environment. Each participant meets twice each week. One session is a private one on one mentorship where we focus on your project through editing, sequencing, discussion, and individualized feedback. The second session brings the cohort together for group critique, conversation, and shared learning.
Working in a small group offers the opportunity to receive both personalized guidance and the insight of fellow photographers. Through discussion, editing exercises, and collective problem solving, participants gain a deeper understanding of their own work while learning from the creative process of others. The exchange of ideas often leads to unexpected discoveries, deeper conversations, and lasting creative connections.
Groups are intentionally small, with three to five participants, allowing each photographer to receive meaningful individual attention while benefiting from the collective experience of the cohort.
My role as a mentor is not to tell you what your work should be, but to help you discover what it already knows. Through careful looking, thoughtful dialogue, and sustained engagement, I help photographers recognize the visual language that is uniquely their own.
