HOW TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY ? – Mentoring & counseling for photographers at the beginning of their careers
I often get calls from young photographers on the outlook for an internship or camera assistance.
Or lately from someone who thought about changing careers and becoming a professional photographer.
More than often I can hear from inbetween the lines the lacking knowledge about the industry.
You might be looking for an internship with an advertising photographer but what you really want to do is
photojournalism. It´s just that it is not that easy to get an internship with a photojournalist.
You got to know the differences between the many areas within photography in terms of structure, content
and money making. But how can you, without having the insight. How can you know which area would be
best for you and your photography and even more difficult how to make money with what you are passionate
about. Many questions that we can try to find an answer to.

WHO COULD MAKE USE OF MENTORING OR COUNSELING ?

Anyone who wants to become a professional photographer and doesn´t know where to start.

Young Photographers who have just finished Photography School and are trying to find their own way
within the industry. This can be any field from Fine Art to Journalism to Advertising.

Photographers who are trying to find their own visual voice.

Photographers who want to put together a portfolio, online or print, to show around in advertisig agencies,
editorial departments or galleries.

Photographers who want to prepare for a portfolio review (national or international).

Photographers who are stuck with their long term project or do not know where to start or can use
some constructive critique along their way.

People who are trying to start a second carreer in photography after they have worked in another
profession for some years.
