Art Photography mentoring

During my career I always learned the most of one to one or small group interactions, where we discussed our (not finished) work and gave feedback to each other in a way that was constructive.

It’s sometimes difficult to see yourselves which step to take next to take your work on a higher level. If we want to create better work, we sometimes need another person to guide us in the right direction. I like to guide people and be their mentor in finding their own authentic path within visual art/photography.

Together we talk about how to create the ideal conditions for inspiration and to train your visual perception better. The emphasis will be on finding your unique story, a story that is sometimes still hidden, but waiting to come out and show the world! I can guide you to find you own personal theme, how to translate your ideas into visual language/stories and how to find your authenticity as an artist.

Who am I?

I am a Berlin based professionally trained photographer/visual artist who has had solo and group exhibitions internationally in museums, galleries and project spaces. I have recieved several grants, prizes and nominations for my work and my work is to be found in private and museum collections.

I have developed different qualities and specialties during the last 15 years of intense dialogue and exploration of the photographic medium. My relationship with the photographic medium has always been one that is very intimate and intense. I am always looking for a deeper meaning, why I make the work and what my work is telling me about myself and the world around me.

I am specialized in fine art photography and collage. I self-published my first book ‘The First Three Years’ in 2018, where I dealt with my personal struggles of becoming a mother and how to give this new identity a place.

What I can offer you

During the 6 sessions of mentoring of 90 minutes each, I will encourage you to critically question and regularly re-evaluate your own relationship to the images you make and the stories you tell, and thus your own visuality in relation to the world. Practical aspects of the industry such as how to get your work out there, self-promotion and social media, connection, awards and grants, the role of festivals in relation to photographic practice down to image-object related questions such as editioning and pricing of work etc. can also be discussed.

Sent me some recent pictures or a project where you have been working on and we talk about what you like to develop within your art, what your personal goals are and how we could reach them within a set time limit.

The mentoring can be held in English, German or Dutch
