mentoring

January, 2009
For many years, I have been interested in the idea of working with individuals to help them attain their next step photographically. So, this year I have started to do individual mentoring. This program offers the chance to work one-on-one with me over a period of time (6 or 12 months) in order to help you define your own "visual fingerprint". Besides enhancing your personal vision, the hourly sessions will allow us to explore a variety of other topics pertaining to your photographic interests, including photo projects, exhibitions, books, the business of photography, and so on. We will begin with a discussion of your photographic aspirations and a review of your work. Based on our initial session, I'll give you assignments, following up with critiques to strengthen your style as well as help you achieve your other photographic goals. Over time, my hope is to guide and inspire you and by working together diligently, I believe we can accomplish this. For more information please contact my studio manager, Gwen James, at 713-529-9697 or gwen@arthurmeyerson.com.

Quotes from those I have mentored:

"Arthur is everything a mentor should be—knowledgeable, committed, honest, considerate, responsive, enthusiastic, and encouraging. He is not only a master photographer but also has a gift for teaching, inspiring, and bringing out the best in others." Virginia Catherine Fairchild, Houston, TX

“It has been an enormous honor, privilege and joy working with you this year! Your feedback, coaching, encouragement and standards of excellence have all greatly improved my performance as a photographer and as an artist. You’ve helped me see the potential in my work and have guided me along the path of reaching that potential. For all this, I will be forever grateful to you.” Marjorie Pierson, Durham, NC

“Under your mentorship, I have learned and developed more photographically than with anything else I have tried” Tim Frederick, Houston, TX
