Our Mentorship Program guides artists in the development of their photographic work and thinking. Each of the mentors we collaborate with is an accomplished artist, curator, editor, industry professional, and/or educator with years of experience in the field of visual imagery.
This individualized program offers mentees the opportunity to work one-on-one with a trusted mentor to realize their vision and achieve goals: develop a cohesive body of work, build conceptual frameworks, edit, sequence, write statements, work with text, apply for grants, prepare for exhibitions, market and find an audience for their work, create a photographic book, among other topics.
Mentors provide personalized instruction and critical feedback, tailored to mentee needs and objectives, and can accommodate a range of artistic approaches and skill levels.

We meet to discuss your goals and specific needs, and look at your work. Based on this, we will decide together who is the most suitable mentor.
Begin
In your first session, you and your mentor will review work, set goals, make a plan, and get started. In the next sessions, you will continue making progress toward your objectives with the support of La Luz.

Pricing
The program fee is $2,250 for six mentorship sessions, each lasting one hour, with the first session extended up to 1.5 hours to allow time to get started. Your intake session with Andy does not count toward your six paid sessions with your mentor.
Additional sessions can be added once your first six are completed.
All sessions will be recorded and available to mentees for one year from the start of the mentorship.
Mentorship is subject to mentor availability.
Upon acceptance into the program, we ask mentees to pay in full prior to the first session with their mentor. We prefer payments via wire transfer or check. PayPal is accepted only as a last resort.
