Mentorship Program
This service is intended for those seeking in-depth, personalised mentoring for their photography over an extended period of time.
The mentorship program operates through regular online 1-1 tuition sessions designed to help you grow immensely as a landscape & nature photographer over 12 months.
We will focus on monthly goals for you to develop your creative eye and capabilities with a camera, whilst simultaneously working on a project gallery to complete over the full course of the mentorship. Monthly image review & feedback sessions, as well as post-processing sessions, will ensure you’re constantly challenging your technique and creativity.
For those wanting a more complete, in-person aspect to their mentorship, tailored field workshops can be added to the program. These could be a few hours at the local beach, or a week amongst the mountains; please contact me with more details for a custom quote if this interests you.
My feedback style strives to balance both positive & constructive criticism, as I believe it’s essential to understand what you should continue striving for, not just receiving a list of things to avoid. I am also not trying to recreate my own style within your work, but helping you discover and excel in your own distinct personal approach.
What’s required?
These are available to anyone as long as you speak English, have an email address and stable internet. Sessions are operated via Google Meet and run for 1-1.5 hours, though this can be more flexible if needed. Our video calls will be recorded and provided back to you, alongside any relevant PSD files for sessions tailored towards editing.
To begin your mentorship, please get in touch via the form below. I will be in touch as soon as I can to set up an initial Q&A/Goal Setting session.
Testimonials
"Ben is highly proficient at editing from both a technical and artistic point of view. He understands colour theory and the nuances of balance in an image in terms of composition, light, colour and contrast - the things that elevate an image from a holiday snap to an artwork. And he's super patient at teaching the skills required to achieve the results." - Kerry L
"I've been wanting to see how Benjamin processes images for a while. I decided to see if he could edit a shot I had been struggling with … I was ready to delete this image but after watching his editing process it's easily my favourite image I've taken this year. It's always good to see a master at work, I learned some great new skills which I will be applying to my future edits." - Evan A
"With the help of Ben, I feel like I'm finally happy with the finished product, using a blend of my own techniques and some handy additions from Ben. Ben gave me a detailed account of how he would have tackled this series of images and other ideas I can apply to my workflow. I highly recommend you speak to Ben if you're having any editing issues or creative roadblocks with your photography. His service is top rate and he's also a great bloke!" - Rob M
“Benjamin helped me work through my portfolio and identify the positives and negatives in my photographs. He was super kind and willing to work with me. I highly recommend working with Ben to take your photography to the next level.” - Caleb M
"Ben, I want to say thank you for taking the time to show me how I can establish a really solid base workflow for my forest scenes. As we all know forest scenes can be extremely chaotic. Your methods for creating atmosphere and good separation will definitely be a part of my workflow on future edits." - Matt N
"Working with Ben over the past month has really transformed the way I deal with colour when editing my images, and I really look forward to honing in and refining these newly developed post processing skills over the coming months." - Oliver H
"It was great to see how Ben took my image and transformed it into his own style using his knowledge. It gave me some very useful information on how he uses Photoshop differently to me ... This was a very informative and knowledgeable service, I would highly recommend" - Sam M
"I am super happy with the image that Ben has edited for me! This has helped me to learn how I can improve the way I edit my photos and what steps and techniques can be used to enhance different parts of an image. Finally, he was able to draw out so much of my image that I could not have envisioned myself! I definitely would recommend Ben to edit one of your images as it was 100% worth it!" - Will S
