These days, every image we publish gets critiqued. This could be amazing for photographers but, unfortunately, not all feedback is equal. Social media and comment sections can be distracting at best, and crippling at worst. They can put you off taking risks and experimenting to avoid negative comments. Informed, balanced and constructive feedback is harder than ever to find. That’s why I started my photography coaching program: to work with photographers that are motivated to become better visual storytellers.
We’ll focus on your most frustrating photos. The ones you couldn’t get right but didn’t know why. And then we’ll work out why.
All photography coaching sessions are conducted over Zoom. Although many photographers come and visit for in person workshops!

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MY PHOTOGRAPHY COACHING
- I like to start with a portfolio review. This standalone 90 min session will help me understand where you are on your photography journey. But more importantly, we can discuss where you want to go, and craft a clear path to get there.
- But that’s often just the start, photographers who choose to work with me over multiple sessions see real progress.
- My approach is friendly, but it’s also direct and honest. I’m here to help you improve your photography, not simply to offer you empty platitudes.
- We won’t dwell on analysing your best work. We’ll focus on your most frustrating photos. The ones you couldn’t get right but didn’t know why. And we’ll work out why.
- Every photographer is different. We’ve got different interests and different visual tendencies. I don’t want to teach you how to be me, so we’ll dip into a vast range of topics that can to just teach how to make photos, but why you want to make them.
- I’m good at portrait, cultural and narrative photography. So that’s what I teach. There are better people to teach you landscape or street photography.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Not everyone has $400 to spare. I get it, I’ve been unemployed and on benefits a few times in my life. Those times were hard, but they were often launchpads for exciting changes in my life. To try and help, I’m saving 2 places every year for photographers who don’t currently have the means to spend on education but who are desperate to improve their narrative photography skills.
I’m offering these 2 places at 75% off. The reason it’s not totally free is simple: in my experience, when you offer something for free, it loses its value. I don’t want to waste your time, or mine.
Head over to the Contact section and select Financial Assistance to apply for this. This offer is really meant for Mexican nationals, but I’ll consider anyone on an individual basis.
PHOTOGRAPHY COACHING TESTIMONIALS
See what previous clients have to say about my mentoring program.
I’m so so glad I did this!
I'm so so glad I did this. I'd been going around in circles aimlessly for years. Hardly improving. Now, not only do I know what kind of photography to create, but I see the way I can get there! I've improved so much and in such a short amount of time, that that goal feels very achievable! Thanks JP!!
If you feel a little lost in your photography, I suggest working with JP.
Before I discovered JP's work I didn't really know what kind of photographer I wanted to be. But his narrative approach to photography grabbed me like nothing else. And now I'm starting to understand how to create photos like his that are full of emotion. If you feel a little lost in your photography I'd definitely suggest working with JP.
It’s corny, but JP has helped take my portraits to the next level!
My photography would absolutely not be where it was today if it wasn't for the work I've done with JP. He's really - and I know this sounds a little corny - helped take my portraits to the next level.
