Mentoring One-to-One (contact me directly)
(Mentoring, $100 per hour on Zoom):
Designed and individually structured for those desiring one-to-one mentoring to create a themed portfolio. Participants will be given feedback and direction on content and assistance with tools like Lightroom, Photoshop, and introductory InDesign for developing a project. The goal will be strengthening your artistic voice by developing independence and clarity in image-making. Journaling, creativity exercises, source research, and writing will be encouraged to enhance the final portfolio. Contact directly for information diannekittlephotography@gmail.com
