​I offer a  mentoring service to support photographers / creatives in the development of their creative practice.
I aim for a relaxed, supportive, collaborative approach.
Possible areas for exploration:
  • the development of a specific project,
  • portfolio editing and building,
  • the curation and design of an exhibition,
  • planning and developing a photo book,
  • re-engagement with your practice.
  • a change in direction of your working practice.
  • or ... you identify what you need …
I am friendly and approachable and have over 30 years experience as both a commercial and project-based photographer, regular exhibitor and curator, and also an award-winning photo-book self-publisher.
Until my recent retirement, I taught on the Foundation Degree in Professional Photography at City of Bristol College since 2006.

"Your advice was incredibly helpful,
and I really appreciate how kind and friendly you were throughout.
It means a lot to me to get such thoughtful feedback,
and I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned."

Preparation for sessions
Individuals
Before we meet, we will have a free 15 minute phone or Zoom consultation to determine your needs.
​You should:
  • Try to identify what you want to achieve, however vague that might be at this stage. It does help to write down your thoughts or make a spider diagram.Do you have a specific outcome in mind?
  • Do you have a timeframe for this?
  • If you are struggling with this, we can devote the first session to clarifying the direction of the sessions
Send me a CV or a brief resumé of your creative life. (If you are in the early stages of your career this may be brief. That’s ok.) Let me know where you think you’d like to be at the end of this process. 
I can then suggest a structure for the session(s) to maximise benefit for you.

Groups
Agree amongst yourselves what the aim of the session involves. Again, I can be available on Zoom to help with this if needed. We can have a free 15 minute consultation to determine your groups needs and aims.
We will achieve much more with a clear plan.
