One-to-One Photography Support

Unlike our Pho­tog­ra­ph­er Devel­op­ment Assess­ment, which is designed to eval­u­ate where you are in your pho­to­graph­ic jour­ney and iden­ti­fy future direc­tions, one-to-one con­sul­ta­tions are intend­ed to help you address a par­tic­u­lar area of pho­tog­ra­phy where you would ben­e­fit from expert guidance.

Ses­sions are avail­able online via Zoom or in per­son by arrange­ment and are deliv­ered by either Michael Pilk­ing­ton FRPS or Paul Gal­lagher FRPS.

Areas We Can Help With

Exam­ples include:

• Image edit­ing and interpretation
• Edit­ing with intent
• Devel­op­ing an effi­cient edit­ing workflow
• Image reviews and con­struc­tive feedback
• Com­po­si­tion and field craft
• Expos­ing with the fin­ished image in mind
• Print­ing and presentation
• Book cre­ation and sequencing
• Port­fo­lio devel­op­ment and curation
• Web­site reviews and visu­al consistency
• Dis­tinc­tions and pho­to­graph­ic qualifications
• Spe­cif­ic pho­to­graph­ic projects or challenges

If you have a par­tic­u­lar area you would like help with that is not list­ed above, please get in touch.

How It Works

Ini­tial Conversation

We begin with a com­pli­men­ta­ry 20 – 30 minute dis­cus­sion to under­stand your require­ments, objec­tives and the spe­cif­ic area where you would like support.

This con­ver­sa­tion also allows us to deter­mine whether a one-to-one con­sul­ta­tion is the most appro­pri­ate option, or whether a Pho­tog­ra­ph­er Devel­op­ment Assess­ment, men­tor­ing pro­gramme or cohort work­shop may be a bet­ter fit.

Per­son­al Proposal

Fol­low­ing the dis­cus­sion, we will rec­om­mend a pro­gramme of sup­port tai­lored to your needs.

This may involve a sin­gle one-to-one ses­sion or a series of ses­sions deliv­ered over an agreed peri­od of time.

We will outline:

• The objec­tives of the consultation
• The pro­posed struc­ture and timescale
• Any prepa­ra­tion required
• The asso­ci­at­ed cost of this

As a guide, a two hour 1‑to‑1 ses­sion over Zoom will cost £195.

Deliv­ery

Ses­sions are then deliv­ered accord­ing to the agreed plan, with prac­ti­cal guid­ance, feed­back and dis­cus­sion focused entire­ly on your spe­cif­ic objectives.

Where appro­pri­ate, we may sug­gest exer­cis­es or activ­i­ties between ses­sions to help rein­force learn­ing and accel­er­ate progress.

Is This Right For You?

One-to-one con­sul­ta­tions are ide­al if you:

• Have a spe­cif­ic pho­to­graph­ic chal­lenge you would like help solving
• Want expert guid­ance tai­lored to your own photography
• Pre­fer indi­vid­ual rather than group learning
• Wish to work at your own pace
• Want focused sup­port with­out com­mit­ting to a longer men­tor­ing programme

To under­stand and com­pare the dif­fer­ent options to help you, take a look at this table:

If you are unsure which option would be most ben­e­fi­cial, we would be hap­py to dis­cuss your sit­u­a­tion and help you choose the most appro­pri­ate route.
