Mentorship & Coaching
The global photography landscape is evolving at an incredible pace, and there has never been a more exciting time to be part of it.
The industry of image-making is experiencing rapid growth, driven by constantly advancing technology. Today, photography is more accessible than ever, allowing almost anyone to produce decent work. However, this democratisation also brings its own challenges. To stand out and grow, it’s essential that you continuously evolve, learn new skills, and invest in yourself.
I’ve always focused on optimising my mindset and thinking, prioritising creativity, developing a keen sense of taste and style, to ensure that my vision translates into compelling imagery. But before you can truly elevate your work, you need to understand who you are as an artist. That’s where coaching comes in. Sometimes, you can’t see your own mistakes; you need someone by your side to identify areas for improvement and help you make small adjustments that lead to mastery.
In a world driven by rapid technological advancements, whether it’s new gear, software, or AI, staying relevant isn’t just about having the latest tools. It’s about cultivating the strongest, most resilient version of ourselves, a creative mind that is adaptable and constantly growing. With this mindset, no matter what the future holds, we will be prepared to evolve and thrive alongside the industry’s ongoing transformation.
“You are the most important tool in your camera bag!”
— Geoff Ang
What’s it like to be coached by me?
I believe in adopting the mindset and discipline of a high-performance athlete. I approach my craft with the same dedication, putting in countless hours of practice through test shoots, studying my competition’s “playbook,” analysing their techniques, and reverse-engineering their strategies to refine my own skills. My studio is my gym, a space where I commit to hours of training, building muscle memory, experimenting with new styles, and pushing the boundaries of creativity.
I firmly believe in the power of high-intensity training to challenge the mind and disrupt the status quo, keeping myself sharp and adaptable. Repetition is key, but not just any repetition, smart, intentional practice informed by experienced guidance and proven strategies. This approach ensures that every training session is purposeful and tailored to individual growth, creating a foundation for continuous improvement and mastery.
I will guide you on how to develop a powerful mindset, think critically, and unlock your creativity in today’s fast-paced, content-saturated world of social media. With so much to see, it’s easy to get lost in the noise, but what truly resonates with you? Together, we’ll explore the mind of a photographer through proven techniques and practical exercises. My goal is to transform you into a thoughtful, innovative creative thinker who can stand out and thrive in this crowded digital landscape.
Allow me to whip you into the best shape of your life.
