Mentor Sessions
What You’ll Get
In a 90-minute video call, we’ll dive into whatever is on your mind—whether you need help refining your voice as a photographer, building a cohesive portfolio, or figuring out how to pitch your work to clients. This session is all about you. We can discuss zine or book ideas, go over technical questions, or get real about the challenges you’re facing in the industry. I’m here to answer your questions and help you set actionable goals.
Why Book a Session?
The creative process can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel stuck. I’ve been there, and I know how helpful it is to have someone in your corner for feedback and guidance. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping more than 300 photographers put together nearly 100 exhibits as the curator of the International Center of Photography. I love helping fellow photographers work through their challenges, refine their work, and push forward in their creative journey.
Who I Work With
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it for years, mentorship can be a powerful tool to break through plateaus or sharpen your direction. Maybe you’re working on a portfolio review, gearing up to approach new clients, or brainstorming your next zine or book project—whatever stage you’re in, I’d love to help.
Pricing and How to Book
A 90-minute session is €299 (or USD equivalent). Once you’ve chosen a time from my calendar, I’ll confirm the booking and send you a payment link. Let’s get started!
Testimonials
"Wesley is a fantastic mentor! At no point during our session did I feel as though I was dreaming too big or extending myself beyond my skill set. Wesley helped me to push the boundaries of what I thought possible for my project and assisted in planning the first steps to see it come to fruition. As a result, I have never felt more motivated to work on personal photographic projects." — Carolyn West
“Wesley's mentor session helped me find two project ideas. More than that, it helped me silence the voices in my mind that were telling me I wasn't good enough as a photographer. Everyone needs to experience Wesley's helpful and understanding guidance.” — Mine Manap Turel
“The mentoring session was a wonderful experience! I’m working on my first narrative-oriented project and Wesley really helped by providing a framework and direction. His approach and communication style ensured that fruitful ideas were generated and it was very creatively fulfilling!” – Alvin Jurianto

“Wesley's mentor session helped unlock my project. We built practical steps forward for my book in narrative themes, format, and priorities. But more than that, he helped me with mindset and getting out of my own way to let the project flourish. I would recommend a session with Wesley to anyone who wants an experienced and helpful voice with their project.” — Alex Eaton
How does it work?
An intensive two-hour mentoring session, custom made for your goals and level of experience.
Before the initial session I will send you a list of questions to fill out that will help us discover the most important things to discuss, so we can make the most of our time.
At the end of your session you will walk away with practical next steps and the possibility to schedule either a follow up session or regular check-ins.
