Private Mentoring with Ute
For photographers ready to grow into their own way of seeing.
Private mentoring is not a one-size-fits-all course. There is no fixed curriculum or prescribed path. Our work begins with you — your photographs, your questions, your vision, and the direction in which your work wants to grow.
It is a focused creative collaboration. Together, we look closely at what you are making, where you feel uncertain or stuck, and what might help you move forward. The work takes shape around what you need rather than following a path someone else designed.
I work with only a small number of photographers at a time so I can offer each person my full presence, thoughtful feedback, and genuine attention.
The Mentoring Package
The mentoring package includes three one-hour sessions via Zoom, spaced to give you time to photograph, experiment, and return with new work between meetings.
In each session, we focus on what you need most — which may change as your work grows. That might include:
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.
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.
Investment: $950
Between sessions, you’re welcome to stay in touch by email — to share a question, an observation, or something that begins to shift in your work. I’ll respond within two business days.
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 photography and want to go deeper—with thoughtful guidance shaped around the way you see.
You want feedback that is honest, specific, and rooted in genuine care for your work.
You’re ready to give your photography sustained attention—not only by learning something new, but by growing into your own way of seeing.
A note on availability
I work with only a small number of photographers at a time so that each mentoring relationship has the space and attention it deserves.
If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me a little about where you are in your photography, what you’re curious about, and where you hope your work might take you. We’ll begin there.
