MENTORING CLASSES 1:1

After a few years of not being able to offer these classes, I am so excited to finally able to offer mentoring to a few photographers per month! message me directly if you have any questions and for exact dates available! My studio is located in Winston- Salem, NC and at the moment, Mentoring will only be available here in my studio as my schedule dosen’t give me time to travel to mentor at other locations. I am happy to customize the packages to everyone specific learning skills and depending on what exactly you are wanting to learn from me! THIS CLASS IS FOR PEOPLE KNOWING HOW TO USE THEIR CAMERA, HAVE WORKED WITH LIGHTING AND PHOTOSHOP. THIS CLASS IS DESIGNED TO HELP PHOTOGRAPHERS LEARN TO PHOTOGRAPH IN STUDIO, WITH STUDIO LIGHTS, AND HOW TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR SESSIONS IN ORDER TO USE DIGITAL BACKDROPS WITH THEIR IMAGES. I will go over posing, and lots of stuff, but the photographer booking this mentoring must have experience in the above. I will not go over how to learn to use a camera, how to learn to use lighting, or how to learn to use basic photoshop. if you want a custom-made beginner mentor please message me to plan something of that sort :)

Pricing

In all my mentoring options, you will get to experience a whole day with me and get to learn my whole process! When booking a 1:1 or 2:1 mentor with me, you will start the day with me prepping for my sessions, you will get to see me how I get my studio ready before a client gets there, getting the gowns and all ready. You will also see me do a whole session (or 5+ sessions if you get that option) with different backdrops (dark backdrops, white backdrops, backlit images, and a real fabric backdrop), I will do many different light setups I use during a session to create a wide range of images, from backlit images, images with dramatic lighting and also images meant to be taken to be easily edited into my digital backdrops. You will get to observe and ask questions and even get to take your own photos and practice with one of my models! I know a lot of people want to see how to do the swing photos as well as other props, and you can request to use a prop to learn how i photograph/edit it! I am super excited to help everyone learn and love to answer all questions and will let you dig deep into my workflow! <3 After we are done with the session/s we will sit down and go over the images we took, while the photos load into our computers, we will go over questions you might have from the session and also you will get to learn my fast and effective way i load, cull, pre-edit and send my galleries to my clients for them to select their images. I will share with you, the websites I use to do this, my preset messages, pricing, payment methods, and everything and all to help you be able to offer these kind of services to your own clients and be able to sell lots of additional images as well as letting them be able to have an easy way for them to select them from their own homes ! Once the images are loaded and we go over all the process of sending galleries to clients and pre-editing images for you to be able to sell extra images without so much work, we will take a few hours to a few images from beginning to end, i will answer any questions as far as my editing goes, and also i will go over what most people want to learn , which is how to work with digital backdrops! This will be fun and exciting to go over, because for images with digital backdrops to look realistic and magical, it all starts from the studio and how you pose the model, the backdrop you take the photos on and the lighting used during the session! Finally you will see how i load galleries and deliver them to clients and also will get to peek into my canvas selling process and many more cool stuff that has helped me grow my bussiness, workflow and art over the years!

People that I mentor will also get a lot of amazing freebies! I only do sessions one or two days per month, so i will only be able to book 1-4 mentoring spots, so make sure to reserve yours!!! I will be able to offer payment plans as well! <3
