I work one-on-one with photographers and creatives at any stage of their journey.
Individual mentoring sessions take place over Zoom and last 90 minutes. Each session is designed around you and your needs.
A one-off online mentoring session is £200, or a block of three over the course of 6 months is £500.
A discounted rate of £75 is available for one-off mentoring sessions for those who would struggle to access support and mentoring otherwise – just ask.
No proof required, I only ask that you consider your financial situation, earning potential, and financial support from your network before utilising this option.
I’m offering it not because my experience and expertise are not worth the full price, or because I don’t need to earn money from my work – as a working artist and a single parent I very much do. I’m offering this as a small act of resistance against the capitalist norms that tells us that some people are more worthy of support than others.
Please get in touch for availability.
