Private mentoring & consultation

Our private mentoring and consultation services are all about YOU.

You can set the agenda, ask our advice, explore new avenues for your work or simply spend some time discussing where you think you and your work is heading. We are not here to be bossy and tell you what to do (unless you want us to of course!).

The benefits of working with us are that we are such different photographers, and, in this case especially, two heads are definitely better than one. Between us our experience and professional advice can help you towards your goal by means of the shared passion we both have for photography.

Contact us for an initial consultation and pricing.

What our clients say

“Over the past four weeks, with Joanna and Tim’s expert advice and honest feedback, I believe I have taken a quantum leap with my photography. Not only do I now know what I want to pursue with my projects but my technique itself has improved because I’ve been encouraged to experiment and extend myself photographically.

I’ve been involved in a few photography groups over the years which have offered feedback and advice. With Joanna and Tim this is the first time I have actually received practical encouragement and support as well as being the beneficiary of their knowledge and experience. I wholeheartedly recommend their mentoring programme if you want to discover just where you can go with your photography.”

Susan Astor-Smith, Australia

 

Tim and Joanna have given me the courage and expertise to pursue my photography. In a very accessible and humorous style the two share their combined knowledge and passion for photography and the professional world of photography. I feel like I have front row seats to an exclusive show. Every class is chock-full of invaluable photography tips and insider information about how to excel in the professional world. But above all, Tim and Joanna’s intuitive guidance has encouraged me to embrace my own voice and that has made all the difference.

– Lisa Flood, USA

Hand on heart, reaching out to Tim and Joanna to be my photography mentors has been one of the best decisions I’ve made personally and professionally. It’s difficult to put into words how much their generosity in sharing their experience and knowledge, encouragement and support has meant to me and I’ll always be so grateful for all they’ve done. I cannot recommend their ‘In Conversation’ classes, ’In Depth’ sessions and private mentoring enough for those with an interest in pursuing photography, it will open your eyes and mind to endless possibilities. 

Lainey Foster, Australia

“I feel very lucky to have come across these two talented, witty, and passionate photograhers, whose love for photography beams upon every meeting. Personally, taking the opportunity to have Joanna and Tim mentor me has been one of the best decisions I made in my photographic career. Who better to help guide, critique, and advise a young aspiring artist than two very experienced individuals who have worked for several world reknowned magazines and understand the industry. Thank you Joanna and Tim for all the productive sessions, encouragement and for sharing your knowledge with me. ”

Marie-Louise Moutafchieva, Canada

 

After several months of participating in the Two Photographers weekly conversations, which I found to be so informative and inspiring, I decided to engage in a 12-session mentoring program offered by Tim and Joanna. Both are extremely talented photographers, passionate about what they do. They possess a wealth of experience and variety of knowledge and expertise between them, which they so generously share. They are willing to meet you wherever you are on your journey as a photographer and help you to move along towards your goals. It’s a tremendous advantage (and value!) to be able to work with both Tim and Joanna at the same time - two distinct styles and two sometimes differing opinions. They are both enthusiastic, encouraging and extremely supportive in their approach. I have gained skills and so much confidence after just a few sessions! I most highly recommend working with Two Photographers to anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level. I know it is absolutely the best decision I have made in my own development as a photographer!

– Donna Gutierrez, USA

I like photographs, I love the act of photographing ; however I’ve had a lack of confidence in my own photographs.So, with Tim and Joanna’s significant guidance my stash of images was distilled sufficiently to be displayed on my website. 

This process along with Tim’s mantra of “show your work” has shown my work…to me! I learned that I do have a set of strong images which has given me the confidence to share with others. Tim and Joanna’s collective mentorship has been both direct and encouraging, something that has improved my understanding of my own work and how I might progress in the future. I encourage others to work with Tim and Joanna on their own routes to improvement.
