Together, we'll delve into various aspects of running a successful photography business, from marketing strategies to pricing, contracts, and portfolio building. You'll receive hands-on support and encouragement, drawing from my extensive experience in navigating the intricacies of the photography industry.

Are you deeply passionate about the art of photography yet finding yourself at a crossroads, uncertain about the next steps in your journey?
Do you seek guidance in meticulously reviewing your portfolio and selecting the most impactful images that truly represent your vision? Are you yearning for an opportunity to engage with a seasoned professional photographer eager to glean insights into both the artistry and the industry?
Is the prospect of forging ahead as a photographer leaving you in need of a structured framework for accountability? Do you grapple with the challenge of discovering your unique voice in the vast realm of photography? Perhaps the idea of creating a captivating zine or book beckons, but you find yourself standing at the threshold, unsure of where to commence. And, of course, the age-old question lingers—how does one effectively pitch their work to those dream clients?
If any of these resonates with you, consider a mentor session as your compass. It's an opportunity to not only clarify your goals but to set forth on a path that leads to their actualization, all while benefiting from the wisdom and experience of a seasoned mentor.
During my 30 years as a professional photographer, I’ve travelled to nearly 60 countries on assignment and produced images for countless national and international publications. I have had the honour of the then Prime Minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown, opening and launching my first solo portrait exhibition. I have again been honoured with a new project, a retrospective exhibition of work by the Ipswich and Colchester Museum for Summer 2024/25.
The National Portrait Gallery hold one of my portrait images in its permanent collection in central London.
I’ve helped and worked with over 20 photographers from all over the world, helping them overcome their limitations and deal with their mindsets, turning doubt into positivity, and helping them produce the kind of projects and larger bodies of work they have been looking to produce. I’d love to help you as well.
