Online mentoring
by Joakim Karlsson
About the online mentoring
This is a private online mentoring that is tailored after your needs and your goals. I can either teach you my style or I can help you improve your own style where you still keep your own creative voice.
Think about it like a private workshop. It is for everyone who wishes to improve their photography skills and move on to the next level. It is the perfect option if you can’t physically visit one of my workshops, perhaps it doesn’t fit your schedule, maybe it is too expensive with additional costs for travel and so on.
I started to shoot models and edit my photos back in 2006. During 17 years I have gained a lot of experience by trial and error and I learned everything the hard way. Now I offer all my experience and knowledge to help you become a better photographer. If I had the chance to do something like this when I started out I would have done it without hesitation!
Examples of what I can help you with
Below I have listed a few things as examples of what I can help you with. These are based on previous coaching and workshops and they are common struggles among photographers I have met. You might not even be aware of what your struggles are but don’t worry, I will figure it out by a deep analysis of your photos. It all depends on where you currently are with your photography.
Find your biggest struggles and issues and how to solve them.
Develop a personal workflow based on your shooting style and your equipment.
Improve the way you shoot in terms of composition, angles, exposure etc.
Develop your post-production skills and make your workflow faster and better.
Improve your lighting skills, either studio or natural light, depending how you shoot.
Change your mindset so you focus on the most important things in your photography.
Teach you how to see and feel what kind of photos are good and what is less good.
I can be your mentor and support before a shoot to guide you through it.
How does this work in practice
You start by filling out the form below. I review your application and I get back to you shortly after and tell you what I think we need to do for you. We can use phone calls, screen sharing via Skype or similar, video calls and so on. It all depends on what we need to do.
Price and time
The plan for this is on a monthly basis. Meaning when you sign up you have up to 3 sessions in total lasting for about 1 hour. It is also possible to have shorter calls or messages between in case I have time. This means if you sign up you get minimun 3-4 hours during 3 occasions during one month. It might be possible to have a different configuration if you wish to continue after the first month. The price for this is currently €259 if you sign up now. Later I will increase the price but you will always get the same deal even if you renew. You always stay on the original plan unless you have a longer break.
Submit your application
Use the form below to submit your application. It is important to include portfolio or photos in some way so I can see sample of your work. I prefer if you can use Dropbox or Google drive. Another option is to use Wetransfer. It is easy and free. You can for example send to you own email and you get a download link which you can use in the application.
I will get back to you as soon as possible with a plan so we can schedule the first meeting.
