The most-requested offering is finally a go!

Technical mentoring is something that brings me joy like few other things do. Not sure what camera bodies make sense for you? How to pick the right lens for each scenario? What the rules for strong compositions are? When do I break those rules? What the hell is color theory anyway? How do I apply this to editing?

This mentorship offering is about executing and producing imagery at your best and leveling up in any concentration areas that you’d like help with. I’m always excited to work with eager artists that care to work on the quality of their craft, create with intention, and output work that they can be proud of. My goal is to help you bridge that gap between your vision/taste and your technical ability to execute that.

We will get into the nitty-gritty of ideation and planning, shooting, editing, pitch-decks- you name it. I aim to create a personalized workshop for you so that we can do a deep dive into the areas of photographic storytelling that you want to improve on.

This will be an hour and a half session, where we do a technical deep-dive into weak points, identify breaks in fundamentals, and ultimately get you on a path to putting together a body of work that you can confidently deliver to clients or to put out for your sake. Before our session begins, you have the option to submit RAW files for us to edit together during our session, pitch decks or pricing guides you’d like to work on together, or just bodies of work that you’d like a deep critique on (you may also request any focus area from the conceptual mentoring offering). Two-four weeks after our initial session, you have the option to schedule a follow-up 30 minute session where we do a progress check and polish up what you’re been working on since the deep-dive. This also helps me make sure that you’re getting the most out of our time together and that you’re on the right track to creating your best work! My resources are at your disposal through this and I will send and offer any guides, assets, or files that have helped me skyrocket my career forward. Where needed, I’ll also point you towards other educators that may specialize in areas where I may not be the strongest in.

During my years of teaching and mentoring across multiple disciplines, I’ve found that a hybrid approach to imparting knowledge and feedback has been the most effective, for artists especially. In our session, I will drill down on certain fundamentals that everyone needs to have locked down, but also tailor it towards your specific goals and stylistic vision as an artist and creator. We can skip a lot of foundational elements if you are already creating at an intermediate level and focus on the areas that you request through the intake form that you will receive upon signing up.

Examples of concentration areas that we can dive into include but aren’t limited to:

• gear choice & breakdowns

• shooting techniques

• composition (basic/intermediate/advanced)

• color theory & philosophy

• editing with live-practice (Lightroom & Photoshop)

• pitch decks for brand work

• pricing systems for couples & weddings

• artist case studies

• mobile content creation

• typography & design basics

Can’t wait to work with you soon!

Big love always,

Ammar
