PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORING NORTHERN IRELAND
ONLINE & IN PERSON PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORING
Do you have a love of photography and want to develop your style or grow your existing business further? If the answer is yes, then my photography mentoring sessions are perfect for you. These one on one sessions are specifically created to help you enhance your natural skills and ability. We will cover exactly what you want to gain knowledge on and you will receive tailored content that's totally relevant to you.
Catriona was an excellent teacher. As a complete novice, it all seemed very scary and complicated. I felt at ease from the moment Catriona met me for my lesson. Her patience with me made the whole experience extremely enjoyable. She explained all at my pace. She is very motivating & inspiring. I can’t wait to practice what she taught me and look forward to booking in for further courses soon. If you want to get the most from your camera, I would highly recommend booking a lesson with Catriona. It was amazing!

Keen to learn more about photography, I signed up to Catriona’s ‘Introduction to Photography’ 5 week online course. This course is more than just an introduction! In a non overwhelming way, Catriona covered many topics, teaching all you need to know about your camera and the basics of photography. This course is a must and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Catriona is very friendly and an expert in what she does! I hope to complete more courses with Catriona in the near future, with the aim of turning my hobby into something more one day!

I attended the 1 day intensive photography course and had a great day. I was a complete beginner with my first (and dated) camera. Catriona was an excellent teacher who explained camera settings, additional equipment and useful pointers all in a very easy to understand language. Would strongly recommend

This is the basis for any good image. We can cover Exposure, Metering, Focusing, Histograms, Composition and the equipment that you might need plus lots more

Review of Portfolio
We work together to review your current portfolio (online and in marketing materials) and help you curate your images to achieve a more cohesive feel to your brand.
Shoot together
I can come along to one of your sessions and help guide you through. We can look at ways to take more creative shots that express your own personality and represent your style whilst ensuring clients enjoy the experience.
Personal projects
It's important to keep the creativity flowing. I am very happy to offer guidance if you are about to commence a personal project and want to ensure that you have thought things through. For example, I have helped clients prepare for exhibitions, personal shooting projects (e.g 365 photo projects where you shoot one image a day for a year), commercial projects such as shooting images for a biography of someone's life and also street photography projects
Setting up your business
I can help give you advice on starting out - the things that are key to getting it right from the start. The equipment you will need, using social media, website guidance, discuss the areas of photography to specialise in, look at the different types of insurance you will need, plan record keeping for your accountant and setting up a bank account.
