Mentoring and Reviews of Portfolios / Series / Book Projects / Websites

January 1—December 31, 2024
Calin Kruse / dienacht Publishing

As a reaction to numerous requests for feedback on projects, books, images, websites, etc., I decided to offer – aside from multiple-day photobook workshops and masterclasses – short mentoring sessions for photographers. These can be single sessions starting from 30 minutes lenght, or multiple sessions according to your needs.

What the mentoring session can be about:
› you need a feedback to a specific project
› you're stuck while working on the project, and need a view from the outside to find out what ­direction to follow
› you're looking for the most suitable way to finish your project – an exhibition, installation, photobook, projection etc.
› you're working on a dummy and need feedback about your editing, sequencing and materials
› you want to self-publish a book and have questions about how to produce it (printers, bookbinders, materials, techniques etc.)

Pricing (each session includes an analysis of the project/s received beforehand, and a skype conversation about them afterwards)
› 30 Minutes (for one project): 40 €
› One hour (for one or two projects): 70 €
For multiple sessions or individual inquiries, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
