Refining the Eye: Private Mentorship & Narrative Reviews
"We won't just talk about shutter speeds. We’ll talk about the rhythm of the frame, why a certain image 'breathes' while another feels stagnant, and how to build a body of work that feels like a story rather than just a collection of shots."
After three decades navigating the fast-paced world of UK photojournalism and the storied streets of Venice, I’ve realized that the most profound growth often happens away from the shutter button. It happens in the quiet moments of reflection—the curation, the critique, and the refinement of vision.
My perspective is shaped by more than 25 years as a Getty Images photographer and the unique experience of having founded and successfully sold my own photo agency. I understand not just how to capture a moment, but how that moment fits into the global visual marketplace and the long arc of a narrative.
I’ve opened this Digital Studio to offer that same one-on-one mentorship I give in my field workshops, available to you wherever you are in the world. Let’s move beyond the settings, tap into decades of professional industry insight, and find your story.
The Editor’s Desk: A Narrative Portfolio Review
A portfolio is more than a collection of your best shots; it is the visual rhythm of your story. Having spent 30 years as a photojournalist and working with Getty Images, I’ve learned that what you leave out is often as important as what you keep in.
In this 60-minute one-on-one online session, we won’t just talk about technical perfection. We’ll dive into the soul of your work. We will look at your sequence, your "visual voice," and how to transition from taking great individual photos to building a cohesive, professional body of work that resonates.
Focus: Curation, sequencing, and finding your unique photographic signature.
Format: Live video call (Zoom/Google Meet).
Preparation: You’ll share 15–20 images in advance so we can spend our full hour focused on the "why" and the "what next."
Investment: €150
The Digital Studio: Private Online Masterclasses
If you can’t join me on the cobblestones of Venice or the quiet trails of Transylvania, we can bring the workshop experience to you. These are not "how-to" sessions on camera menus; these are deep-dives into the experience of making a photograph.
Whether you want to master the Prime Trio philosophy, understand the nuances of Black & White storytelling, or learn how to "see" a street scene before it happens, these 90-minute bespoke lessons are tailored entirely to your goals. We’ll talk light, intent, and the art of being present with your subject.
Focus: Subject-specific mentorship (Street, Editorial, B&W, or Narrative).
Format: Interactive 90-minute online session with a follow-up action plan.
Experience: A conversational, hands-on deep dive into your specific interests.
Investment: €220
Starting Your Journey: How it Works
I’ve designed these sessions to be as fluid and focused as my in-person workshops. Whether you are in London, New York, or Budapest, getting started is a simple three-step process:
1. The Connection
Click the "Inquire to Book" button below to send me a brief message. Tell me a little about your photography, your goals, and which session you’re interested in (The Editor's Desk or The Digital Studio).
2. The Preparation
Once we’ve set a date, I’ll ask you to share a selection of your work (15–20 images) or specific topics you’d like to master. This allows me to dive into your "visual voice" before we even meet, ensuring every minute of our call is high-value and focused on your growth.
3. The Dialogue
We’ll meet via a private video link (Zoom or Google Meet) for a focused, conversational session. You’ll receive direct, honest feedback and a clear "action plan" to take your work to the next level. No clinical lectures—just a professional dialogue between two photographers
