Turning good photographers into great photographers
Mentoring Results


It is because of my extensive experience in taking photographs, and in teaching and mentoring photography, that I ask you to consider me as your possible mentor. Details of the how, when, where and how much, appear  in detail on my www.MasteringPhotography.com website. 

My motto is “turning good photographers into great photographers.”  That means that the sessions should not be just informational or educational but transformational. That's what I offer; and with a success guaranteed. If you need to take the course again, it's on me.

The best way that you can judge the quality of the teacher is by looking at the work of his students. Here are some photographers who I was privileged to help along the way.

Most attended  some photography course that I taught in a classroom environment and met with me individually afterward for one-on-one tutoring. And even beyond that, they continued to consult with me seeking knowledge and advice.

You can click on their names to reach their website. You will have to agree that these are accomplished professionals who in many cases have had their work published nationally. I am proud to have made some small contribution to their development.

Finally, this unsolicited testimonial which appears below is very special. Jenna braved the worst snowstorm in the Northeast on February 2010 to drive from  north of Philadelphia, PA to Columbia, SC with her mother to attend my photography 2 1/2 day private coaching session:

"Hi Manuel!
Sorry I have not been in contact for so long. I just wanted to give you a quick update and thank you again for all of your help. You have taught me so much!
In April, I began working as a photographer for a company called Bella Baby Photography. It is, by far, the best job I have ever had! I have also been working on my portfolio in hopes of making photography my full time job at some point. I just finished a preliminary website and would like your feedback. My site is:

I hope all is well with you and your wife!
Take Care,
Jenna Reese"
