Hello.
I understand that you’re passionate about both your work and your life, but I also understand that it can be difficult to find the time to pursue everything you want to do. As a mentor, I’m here to help you navigate the challenges of creating, exploring, and communicating, and to remind you that great things take time.
In my experience, pictures need time to grow and develop their own universe. To achieve this, they require a great deal of care from both you and those you trust. If you’re interested, I’d love to have you as a long-term student.
I’ve been working as a mentor for many years now, and I offer private mentoring sessions through my program called “Fortnight”. It’s a program designed to help you navigate the process of portfolio and career development, covering every aspect of your creative journey.
During our sessions, we’ll use my practical pattern and educational base to guide you towards highlighting your own personal narrative through photography.
Our main goal is to develop an existing body of work or create a completely new one, and we’ll work together to achieve this. This could include creating a dummy of your photobook, finding a publisher, or working on your career development. We’ll also work on potential exhibition/publication layouts and any other aspects of creative or career practice that you may need assistance with.
We will create, develop and distribute your work together.
For our meetings, we will create a personalized schedule based on our needs, and we’ll work together to achieve our common goals.
The structure is based on individual one-on-one online sessions that last 60 mins, and on each session we cover everything that shapes your work, practice and presence. I talk about all my knowledge in the field while focusing on the work and artistic presence (the form of expression and narrative, portfolio structure and professional profiling) as well as in practice. In addition, I offer exclusive guidance and network sharing.
In practical terms, I offer the proposal of an 8-hour agreement, meaning 8+1 private sessions of 60 mins each (we decide the frequency together accordingly).
ORIGINI EDIZIONI AND FORTINGHT MENTORING
From season 2025-2026 and on, all registered participants will have the opportunity to create a project dummy with Origini Edizioni, benefiting from Origini’s renowned expertise and craftsmanship in bookmaking. Each dummy will then be considered for a publishing opportunity in Origini’s new series of publications, “In Nuce”.
FORTNIGHT PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
Also, from this year and on, I am organizing Fortnight Portfolio Reviews, offering the chance for alumni to show their work to acclaimed professionals is the field and connect through one-on-one portfolio reviews.
If you’d like to register or if you have any questions, please fill out the form below.
Thank you for considering me as your mentor, and I look forward to working with you.
I.
ps. Why “Fortnight”? Because I really like the word and also because a nice example of a meeting cycle is to meet fortnightly.
