MENTORING sessions
1:1 Mentoring | Personal Projects | Group Mentoring
INSPIRE, EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE & support
My motto when it comes to mentoring!
” I absolutely love working with other photographers on a one-to-one basis and in small groups to encourage them to explore, develop and build their skills, knowledge, photographic style and confidence.
Over the last ten years, I have been mentored by three fantastic individuals. The value of mentoring is clear to me, and I love to offer it to other photographers. To have someone you can bounce ideas off, celebrate success with and ask questions when the results aren’t as you expect is invaluable. By working with mentors, I was encouraged to attain my aspirations and believe in myself – these had a massive positive effect on the forward development of my photography. Because I have experienced this, I have a better understanding of the value of mentoring.
Mentoring sessions are completely flexible with regard to the content. You may be aiming for a qualification or struggling to pick up your camera and be looking for a bit of support. Maybe you are thinking about starting your own business or looking for critique to enable you to improve your images. You may be looking for ideas and inspiration to start a project or just wanting someone to be accountable to on your photographic journey. Maybe you just prefer to learn ICM at a time that suits you rather than joining a course. Absolutely anything goes with 1:1 mentoring sessions. The sessions can even be recorded if you would like to have the opportunity to rewatch them.
Regardless of your level, experience or reasoning for mentoring, I guarantee a supportive, enjoyable and productive experience.” – Charlotte

Session
Are you wondering if Mentoring is for you?
Maybe you would like to talk to the person you are going to trust with your photographic journey first, before committing? Charlotte offers a non-obligation ‘get to know each other’ chat via Zoom so you can be sure that you both know your aspirations and the direction that the Mentoring Sessions will follow.
During this time, Charlotte will ask lots of questions to ensure she knows all about you, however, she encourages you to do the same!
Mentoring SESSIONS
One-2-One Mentoring Sessions
Together, we will discuss your aspirations and desires from the mentoring process; no wish is too small or too big as long as you are willing to work for it. Most of my Mentoring Sessions take place via Zoom and can be scheduled during the day or evenings.
Mentoring Sessions last for one hour. You can book a session directly here, and select a date and time that fits with your schedule.
Testimonial
PERSONAL PROJECT –
12-month group mentoring
Personal Project in 2027 – Open for Enrolment in May 2026
COURSE DATES: First Monday of every month
This course is for anyone who would like to create/follow a Personal Project in 2027 with the support of a close group and guidance from Charlotte on your journey.
This learning experience is a bit different because although it is a course, I would rather call it a group experience because it is going to be spread over the whole of 2027. Once each month, we will gather as a group for a Zoom session. These will alternate between presentations and discussions. Each of these will help to guide you through creating, following, and committing to a project.
This experience will require a bit of self-motivation, but Charlotte will be there to offer encouragement and support. She will provide tools and knowledge so you can work through a project gently in 2027, fitting it around your life rather than making it too demanding.
To complete this year-long experience, Charlotte offers all participants the opportunity to showcase their work in a carefully curated online exhibition. A unique chance for you to share your hard work from the year far and wide.
Charlotte believes each and every one has the ability to create wonderful bodies of work; sometimes, we just need a little bit of support and someone to be accountable to! If this sounds like your thing, Charlotte will look forward to you joining the group!
Testimonial
” I found the Mentoring Sessions nourishing and supportive of my creative growth. Charlie mentored me over six sessions spread over 2021-2023. It was my choice not to work on any specific longer-term project but rather respond flexibly to what arose in my journey as an emerging photographer/artist. The sessions felt like a sort of therapy focused on creative growth.
Charlie was flexible and generous with feedback, and we covered a range of areas, from planning a series of photographs through book projects to activities beyond photography, such as speaking and writing about photographs, from technicalities to emotional aspects of photographic expression. I immensely enjoyed our conversations; I felt supported, heard and inspired. I have matured as a photographer and a creative practitioner and have become more confident in my vision. Charlie’s faith and advice have been an important contributing factor.”
