Testimonials from past workshops and 1:1 mentoring

  • “Taylor’s mentoring was super helpful and exactly what I needed at this stage in my photography journey. He knows his stuff, and gives really honest, practical advice. After chatting with him, I felt way more confident in the direction I’m heading and clearer on how to approach pitching, portfolio building, and finding my style. Highly recommend if you’re looking to level up.”
