Mentorship & Portfolio Reviews

Thoughtful, experience-led support for photographers

I offer a small number of one-to-one mentorship sessions for photographers who want clear, grounded guidance around their work and practice.

Alongside my wedding work, I maintain long-term documentary projects and regularly review portfolios with photographers at different stages of their careers.

These sessions are not about shortcuts or formulas. They’re about slowing things down, looking closely at what you’re doing, and helping you make decisions that feel aligned with your values, your work, and the direction you want to move in.

Who this is for

This is best suited to photographers who are:

A newly married couple walking down the aisle of a church, holding hands. The bride is holding a bouquet and wearing a classic white wedding dress, while the groom is in a tuxedo with a bow tie. Guests are standing in the pews, taking photos and celebrating. The church has tall stained glass windows and ornate decorations.

Working professionally, or moving towards that stage

Drawn to documentary or observational approaches

Central figures include a smiling woman in a black dress, two young boys in tuxedos, one of whom is sniffling, and another woman in the background with blonde hair. The setting is lush with greenery and steps in the background.

Thinking carefully about how their work is presented and valued

You don’t need to be at a specific level. What matters more is that you’re curious, reflective, and open to considered feedback.

What we can explore

Sessions are shaped around you and your questions. Common areas include:

  • reviewing portfolios or personal projects

  • developing a clearer photographic voice

  • editing, consistency, and long-term coherence

  • balancing personal work with commissioned photography

  • pricing and positioning your work with confidence

  • enquiry handling, client communication, and boundaries

  • navigating confidence, burnout, or creative plateaus

There’s no fixed agenda. We’ll focus on what feels most useful right now.

How the sessions work

  • One-to-one mentorship

  • Typically 60–90 minutes

  • Online or in person (where practical)

  • Led by your work, your questions, and your goals

I aim to offer honest, constructive feedback that’s practical and respectful. The intention is not to tell you what to do, but to help you see your work and decisions more clearly.

What this isn’t

To keep expectations clear, these sessions are not:

  • group workshops

  • recorded courses

  • step-by-step business programmes

  • a promise of results or outcomes

This is slow, considered work, rooted in real experience rather than templates.

Pricing

One-to-one mentorship and portfolio review sessions are £220 for up to 90 minutes.

Availability & enquiries

Mentorship is offered on a limited basis alongside my photography work.

If you’re interested, the best first step is to get in touch and briefly outline where you’re at and what you’d like help with. From there, we can see whether a session feels like the right fit.

I’m careful about who I take on for mentorship and will always be honest if I don’t feel a session would be useful.
