SIT DOWN WITH
SOMEONE WHO’S DONE IT
National Geographic Contributor · Oscar-Qualifying Filmmaker
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION
Ninety focused minutes, One-on-One.
Bring your work, your questions, or the thing you can’t quite see your way through, and tap into twenty years of doing this for real. There’s no curriculum here, and no modules. What you’re really getting is access to experience, an honest eye on your work and direct answers to the questions that are hard to figure out on your own.
WHAT WE CAN WORK ON
It’s your time. We’ll focus on whatever’s most useful.
A few things we might dig into:
Portfolio reviews
Lighting critiques
Documentary storytelling
Filmmaking
Creative direction
Expedition preparation
Creative career strategy
Building workshops
Many sessions naturally expand into YouTube, building workshops and expeditions, documentary filmmaking, and the work of building a creative career. If that’s where you’re headed, bring it.

A FEW QUESTIONS
Is this just for photographers?
Not at all. While many people come to me for photography and visual storytelling, these sessions are for photographers, filmmakers, and creators of all kinds. If you’re building meaningful work and looking for honest feedback, strategic guidance, or a clearer path forward, you're in the right place.
What if I’m not sure what to ask?
That’s common, and completely fine. Part of the value is figuring out what’s actually worth working on. Come with the feeling of being stuck, and we’ll uncover the real challenge underneath it.
How is the 3-session mentorship different?
A single session is great for solving one clear problem. The mentorship is for bigger goals that require time, accountability, and follow-through. Three sessions spread over up to three months allow us to build momentum and make meaningful progress together.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. Just give me reasonable notice and we’ll find another time that works.
