Private Mentoring with Ute
For photographers ready to make their most honest work yet.
This is not a course. There is no curriculum, no homework, no structured path someone else designed.
Private mentoring is a conversation — about your work, your vision, and what's standing between where you are and where you want to be. It's the most direct way I know to help a photographer move forward.
I work with a small number of photographers at a time. This is intentional. What I offer requires full presence and genuine attention, and I won't spread that thin.
The Mentoring Package
Each package includes three one-hour sessions via Zoom, spaced to give you time to shoot, experiment, and return with new work between meetings.
In each session we work through whatever you need most — which changes as you grow. That might be:
Image review
— an honest, generous look at your recent work. What's working, what's almost there, and what to try differently.
Technique coaching
— hands-on guidance in the methods I know best: double exposure, slow shutter speed, prism photography, and working with light in all its forms.
Between sessions, you have access to me via email for questions and observations as they come up.
Portfolio direction
— looking at the arc of your work and helping you find the thread that makes it unmistakably yours.
Creative unblocking
— for the times when you're stuck and can't find your way back in. We'll find it together.
This is for you if:
You have a body of work and a feeling that it hasn't quite found its voice yet.
You're drawn to creative, expressive techniques and want to go deeper — with someone who has spent years developing them.
You want feedback that is honest, specific, and rooted in genuine care for your work.
You're ready to invest seriously in your photography — not just in gear or courses, but in yourself as an artist.
A note on availability.
I take on only a handful of mentoring clients at any time. This is a boutique experience — it requires energy, presence, and real investment from both of us.
If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a little about where you are in your photography and what you're hoping to work on. If it feels like a good fit, we'll take it from there.
Some of the most meaningful conversations I've had have been with photographers who just needed someone to look at their work and say: you're onto something. Keep going.
If that's what you're looking for, I'm here.
