why travel the journey alone when you can do it with a friend
Often the value of getting off to a good start can save you much hardship, money and most precious of all, time.
I thrive in sharing my experience and knowledge to provide one-on-one sessions with others, either online or in person; for for beginners, emerging or professional photographers.
If I can help just one person get to where they want to be, more importantly, guide them in understanding what they want their work and business to become, by sharing my own journey;
I'll know all the hard work and sacrifices made, were well worth it.
My wish for you is to - BELIEVE in yourself. GROW and never stop.
LOVE what you do and most importantly, why you do it.
we make a living by what we get. we make a life by what we give.
"After adoring her work for so long, I finally reached out to Anya to help mentor me in establishing my photography style and business. Her gentle approach, years of experience and interest in me, both as a photographer and person, made our sessions together so enjoyable. Anya gave me many practical actions to implement into my business that have been game changers; whilst also focusing on enhancing my craft through composition, posing and editing.
It can easily feel intimidating to reach out to someone as established as Anya, but that's not the case with her.
She's supportive, encouraging and provides a space where you're free to be vulnerable with her - getting you the most out of every second spent with her. Our relationship has continued beyond our mentor sessions and it's lovely."

In person mentoring is a full 8 hour day for those wanting a tailored intimate workshop environment with a hands on approach. After our first contact to better understand your journey and needs, I will prepare the schedule for our day and the specific topics that will be covered during our time together; typically involving live sessions, creative process, workflow and business. It's a day where collectively we join forces to help you reach the next level in your work!
The session/s we do together, will help you understand the process of lighting and posing of our subjects, whilst evoking honest emotion; and how with minimal transitioning, you can get the most out of each and every set up. This will help you understand the shooting flow, allowing you to adapt it to your own, therefore expanding on your own work and methods.
The digital workflow, sales and business aspect of the experience is where I share my 11+ years knowledge in the industry with you; a setting to help you understand which tools can help you better your own creative process. From setting boundaries and choosing your work hours, to building a client network, and the more detailed process from download to upload of your client galleries and sales of your work, including products. Nothing is off limits and everything is
IN person mentoring
I became a mentor because I wanted to give; the thing i didn't realise it how much i'd get.
In wanting to bridge the physical distance for those not able to attend in person, I've successfully implemented an online learning environment and structure, to help photographers that are at different stages of their own journey, who are finding themselves needing a new perspective on their photography work and business. I offer limited online mentoring sessions each month with various ongoing learning opportunities. A time and place to discuss goals and make plans, ask and answer all the questions, bounce ideas, share screens and work on getting you where you want to be and beyond!
I want our time together to be a place where you feel comfortable in sharing it all, both work and life, as one often can't exist without the other. No matter your concerns, I create a common ground for us to collectively work through the obstacle.
online mentoring
a mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.
