One-on-One Coaching for Emerging Photographers

​

If you’re an emerging photographer drawn to the rhythm of the built environment—geometry, repetition, infrastructure, and the subtle voice of urban spaces—Compass is designed for you.

​

This isn’t about gear, filters, or chasing trends. It’s about helping you see your own work more clearly, recognize what’s missing, and make intentional choices that elevate a strong photograph into a compelling body of work. Whether you're just forming your visual identity or working toward exhibitions or publications, a focused conversation can shift everything.

​

With over 35 years of experience in the built world and a fine art practice rooted in urban architecture, I offer supportive, constructive guidance to help you:

​

• Clarify your artistic intent

• Strengthen your visual language

• Build cohesion in a series or portfolio

• Identify the gaps between what you're seeing and what you're showing

​

• Single Session – $100 USD
  A 40-minute Zoom consultation, tailored to your current work. Includes a brief pre-session intake form and follow-up notes.

• 3-Session Package – $275 USD
  A more in-depth approach across time—ideal if you're building a project, preparing a submission, or developing a longer-term body of work.​

​

 

Why Compass?

​

Because everyone needs a second eye sometimes—not to judge, but to reflect what’s already there and help guide the next step.
 

Compass is not about teaching you how to shoot—it's about helping you understand what you're saying.
