Do you know where to start?

Are you starting a new business or up-levelling your existing one?

Do you know where to start?

If not, let me tell you where our 1yr Group Mentorship Programme begins, and maybe this will help guide you.

“Only you can take control of your business and future. No one is going to do this for you and by committing to a plan you are showing that you are serious about this”
On our 1 Year Mentorship Course we have 12 full in-person days together over the year. These are crammed full of ‘in-studio’ business content and includes 12 photo shoots.

We start the first day by assessing your current best images. You can’t move forward until you analyse where you are right now. In our first group critique session we will be looking at composition, editing, lighting, balance, emotion, technique and execution of your images.

We then have a full post-processing session where we edit live and talk you through how to be more efficient, how to get the best from your images and what clients are looking for. Plus a portfolio shoot together.

Day two starts with our shoot structure session. By learning and understanding our shoot structure this allows you to concentrate on your clients and your creativeness. Just think about that for a moment. You know where you’re going to start on your photo shoot. You know which outfit you’ll pick first and you have a solid plan for all the poses in that location. NOW you can concentrate on perfecting their hands, their smile, their interaction with their horse and having a bloomin’ good time with them. Doesn’t that sound like heaven?

We will also have a second shoot, this one will be a Masterclass; these are focussed on specific subjects, such a light or posing. 

Procrastinating is only putting off your own dream. Don’t let the overwhelming fear of getting it wrong stop you from progressing.
