1:1 Photography Mentorship

For those looking to refine and expand their photographic skills, I offer 1:1 in-depth coaching. Mentorship is offered on a sliding scale, and we meet over Zoom or in-person in Seattle, WA.

Although the content of mentorship is specific to each person and customized to your needs, some topics that are often covered are:

  • All things film——getting started, troubleshooting issues, choosing film stocks, cameras, labs, etc

  • Running a sustainable business

  • Queer inclusivity & portfolio building

  • Editing and culling in Lightroom

  • Weaving together professional and personal work

I offer free, no-pressure calls to discuss your goals and see if we’d be a good fit for working together. Just reach out!

“Working with Holly was such an invaluable experience!

They helped me navigate the technical and aesthetic details of learning to shoot film, from selecting the right film stock for shooting in various lighting scenarios to the process of pushing and pulling my film.

Holly gave me incredible feedback about my work with lots of eager encouragement about how I was growing as a photographer. I'm so grateful for the guidance I received from Holly and the space that she held for me to develop my personal style as an artist.”
