Mentoring sessions
Are you passionate about photography but you’re not sure what your next step is? Do you need help reviewing your portfolio and picking the best images? Would you like to ask an experienced professional photographer questions about the craft and the industry?
Do you need accountability to move forward as a photographer? Are you struggling to find your voice? Would you like to make a zine or book but you’re not quite sure where to start? Are you wondering how to pitch your work to your dream clients?
If any of these check out for you, a mentor session can help you clarify your goals and get you on your way to achieve them.
During my time as a curator for the International Center of Photography I helped more than 300 photographers from all over the world put together nearly 100 exhibits from larger bodies of work. I’d love to help you as well.

Testimonials
"Wesley is a fantastic mentor! At no point during our session did I feel as though I was dreaming too big or extending myself beyond my skill set. Wesley helped me to push the boundaries of what I thought possible for my project and assisted in planning the first steps to see it come to fruition. As a result, I have never felt more motivated to work on personal photographic projects." - Carolyn West
“Wesley's mentor session helped me find two project ideas. More than that, it helped me silence the voices in my mind that were telling me I wasn't good enough as a photographer. Everyone needs to experience Wesley's helpful and understanding guidance.” — Mine Manap Turel
“The mentoring session was a wonderful experience! I’m working on my first narrative-oriented project and Wesley really helped by providing a framework and direction. His approach and communication style ensured that fruitful ideas were generated and it was very creatively fulfilling!” – Alvin Jurianto
“During the mentorship session Wesley helped me to clarify my goals and give me the direction I needed to proceed with my project. Wesley’s knowledge and creative choices opened up possibilities I hadn’t thought about before. The session was effective, super fun, and hands-on.”
— Jop Verheijen
“Wesley's mentor session helped unlock my project. We built practical steps forward for my book in narrative themes, format, and priorities. But more than that, he helped me with mindset and getting out of my own way to let the project flourish. I would recommend a session with Wesley to anyone who wants an experienced and helpful voice with their project.” — Alex Eaton
How does it work?
An intensive two-hour mentoring session, custom made for your goals and level of experience.
Before the initial session I will send you a list of questions to fill out that will help us discover the most important things to discuss, so we can make the most of our time.
At the end of your session you will walk away with practical next steps and the possibility to schedule either a follow up session or regular check-ins.
