Lessons are held one-on-one, tailored to your goals and pace. We'll agree on a frequency that fits your project/learning timeline—whether that's weekly check-ins, a more intensive run-up to a deadline (application, exhibition, or publication), or maybe you need a once-monthly mentoring.

Structure
Every session is shaped around where you are in your project/journey, but generally includes:
Check-in and review—looking at what you've made since our last session, discussing what worked and what didn't
Focused teaching or critique—technique instruction, portfolio review, narrative and sequencing feedback, or research guidance depending on your current stage
Hands-on work or discussion—working through a specific problem together, whether that's a technical skill, an editing decision, or finding language for your artist statement
Next steps—clear, achievable goals to work on before we meet again

Areas I help with
Learning art and photography techniques, with resources and guidance
Portfolio review, mentoring, and project planning through to completion
Applications for art or photography degrees, including programs abroad
Finding and articulating your artistic voice
Preparing publications—photobooks, zines, and other formats
Using visual art as a tool for self-reflection and therapeutic practice
Preparing to work as a freelance artist or photographer
Art research and art-science research practice

Who is it for
Beginners and experienced practitioners alike—anyone looking for guidance on technique, project development, applications, publishing, or using art as a means of self-exploration.
