Mentoring Session

Located in the incredible Metro Detroit area, I offer personal one-on-one (1:1) and small group mentoring sessions (up to 3 people person session) for passionate photographers who are ready to take their portrait photography to the next level. Spend an hour with me and learn the in's and out's of image composition, proper exposure, laugh and walk away with knowledge that will lead you into the next level of your photography journey.

Each mentoring session is based upon the needs and goals of each individual and is customized to fit you. Whether we go over camera settings, natural lighting, studio lighting, post processing or image workflow, it's up to you! We'll move at your personal pace and ensure you walk away with new knowledge that will help you take your photography to the next level!

Available Mentoring Sessions:

1:1 Mentoring
Group Mentoring (up to 3 people)

What to bring:

Camera
Lenses
SD or CF memory cards
Extra battery
Laptop if you would like to follow along during post processing
Pen & paper for taking notes.

Some important things to know:

Dates and locations are on an as needed basis and limited per month.

To get the most from your session, you should already own a digital camera - preferably a DSLR. Feel free to rent one if you do not have one. If your mentoring session consists of editing techniques, I edit using Photoshop CS6.

These mentoring sessions are a personal experience for the passionate photographer. However, they are not for those photographers who already teach or plan to teach workshops or mentoring sessions themselves within 12 months of a scheduled mentoring date. The mentoring session fee is NON-REFUNDABLE for any reason.

Note: The closest airport is Detroit Metropolitan International Airport (DTW) located in Romulus, Michigan.
