Sometimes we are too involved with our on-going body of work, either long term or newly started, to see it from the perspective of a second or objective eye. With mentorship l will try to crystalize the reasons and trouble-shoot the problems you may have in moving forward. It may be in your editing process, or in sequencing, or in the aestetic way of you are telling your story. We will engage in long discussions, with tough questions yet with positive criticism. l will help you find how to make your project better, transforming your emotions into images that you seek. l will push you discover new things that will make your project truly unique in our world of ubiquitous pictures.
