1:1 Photography Mentorship

For those looking to refine and expand their skills, I offer 1:1 in-depth photography coaching. Although the content of mentorship is specific to each person and customized to your needs, some topics that are often covered are:

* Shooting film: techniques, cameras, labs, and more

* Queer inclusivity and portfolio building

* Weaving together professional and personal work

* Editing and culling in Lightroom

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.”
