PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORING SESSIONS
1-hour 1-2-1 sessions for photographers who want to take their work further
You can shoot in manual and your compositions are solid. But something still isn't quite right and you're not sure what it is.
Maybe your results are inconsistent and you can't work out why.
Maybe flash has always intimidated you.
Maybe you've got hundreds of images sitting on a hard drive that nobody ever sees.
Or maybe you're ready to start shooting commercially but have no idea where to begin.
Most photographers hit this point. The beginner work is done but the next step isn't obvious.
That's exactly where a mentoring session helps.
One hour, built entirely around your specific situation. No generic advice, no fixed agenda. Just a clear conversation about where you are, what's holding you back, and what to do next.
£95 | 1 hour | In person or online
“Holy s**t Marcus, why didn't I meet you 10 years ago when i started out on this photography path!
After our Power Hour chat today and 6 hrs later researching only a few things you said, I have learned more than I can have ever imagined about fashion photography.
I feel absolutely robbed from every workshop i have been on paying over £200 every month, thinking this is fashion what i'm shooting, and we both know now its something but its not fashion.
Honestly you really have pointed me in the right direction and i can't thank you enough, i'm not going to give up on this dream. I have the enthusiasm and the drive to get me there now i know what the first steps are.
Seriously, you are the man, thank you so much”.

I've been teaching and mentoring photographers for over 15 years, including as a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Wales. I hold a PGCE Level 7 and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
In practice, that means you get structured, specific feedback from someone who genuinely knows how to teach, not just someone with opinions about your work.
“After hearing Marcus on a podcast, I reached out to arrange a conversation about business strategy. Having someone step back and look at my branding — identifying what could be developed and what might need refining — felt like a valuable investment in my business.
Marcus brings years of experience and shared insightful perspectives on what organisations truly value when working with a photographer. One of the most useful takeaways was his explanation that many clients aren’t simply looking for images; they want someone who can help shape and express their brand visually.
I came away from the conversation with renewed energy, a clearer sense of direction, and some excellent strategies to move forward.”
