I'm here to help you become a master of your craft!
You are reading this page, which means that you already understand the importance of working with a mentor.
Focus your precious time elsewhere instead of figuring this out alone. Let's do this together instead!
Tailored to your needs
1-on-1 sessions proved to be the most efficient form of education during my own learning curves, so I fully trust this method when it comes to bringing you closer to your own goals at your level of proficiency - this is how:
- beginners can become proficient in the fundamentals of photography, styling and gear to create a client-ready portfolio,
- semi-professionals can up-skill, break free from creative rut, and clarify their goals and improve their business practices in order to attract their ideal client,
- food bloggers, home bakers & chefs can learn to capture their creations in a way that wows their audience and customers,
- entrepreneurs can learn how to optimise your setup & take cohesive, recognisable and memorable product photos aligned with your branding.

Never stop learning
Below, you can see how my own work evolved from the year I got my first DSLR until today. There is nothing wrong with the early images, but the consistency surely increased and the portfolio has been updated with way more advanced references over time.
I got here by constantly adding new skills and learning from mentors who already achieved what I'm aiming at. Seeking for feedback is also essential for further growth so I constantly challenge my vision at different competitions and reflect on my work via professional reviews.

Why choose my sessions?
I deliver professional practices to talented creatives, like YOU, for over 5 years. Life never gave me any shortcuts, on the other hand, I had to start from scratch a couple of times when I moved between countries.
As a mentor I can help you with a realistic approach and teach you how to crawl, walk and run before getting ready to fly.

I organise workshops with creative guidelines, inspiring topics & learning opportunities that creators and photographers will enjoy - even on advanced levels.
You can also book me as a facilitator at your event, if you looking for a photographer & stylist to host a thematic workshop or join the board of other professionals as a speaker or demonstrator.
