What the mentorship offers:
A year-long, tailored learning experience focused on you and your growth in photography.
An initial deep-dive meeting to assess where youāre at, define goals, and begin planning the year ahead. Warning: I ask lots of hard questions throughout this mentorship.
Support in both creative and business aspects of photography - from developing your vision and editing skills to understanding how to build confidence and presence in the industry.
A mentor who champions authenticity, individuality, and unconventional thinking.
Perks like discounted access to group workshops if youāre interested in in-person learning opportunities.
Who this is for:
Iām looking for photographers who are building or growing a business, eager to share themselves and their work with the world, and ready to stretch themselves creatively and professionally. A strong passion for nature, a commitment to authenticity, and a desire to bring a fresh perspective to the world of photography are highly valued in this mentorship.
One of the testimonial's I received this year:
"As my mentorship with Monika comes to an end, I am thankful for all the insight, encouragement, and support I have received over the past year. With her direction and guidance, I have a clear plan of where I want to take my photography business. Being able to reach out for advice, critique, or simple questions has been a valuable component of my growth this past year. Monikaās support as a mentor and friend has increased my confidence in all areas of photography, particularly the speaking aspect. The consistent questions, conversations, and encouragement have made me feel confident in the direction I am taking my business, and I look forward to putting the information I have learned into effect moving forward."
