We're in Vancouver, WA (aka near Portland, OR).

Love collaborating, sharing techniques, trying things out together, discussing how things are done in existing work and trying to put them into practice in the studio.

If having a place for mentors and students to learn, or newbies to come and practice in our studio (or on location) and ask questions without feeling TOO intimidated by a Pro, qualifies us for this list - please put us down.

The first time I tried a mentor relationship I discovered the gap between where I was in my learning and where the mentor was in his experience was too great so I went back to fiddling around solo for a while longer so I didn't feel so intimidated.

Having a "Starting Out Mentor" that is a stepping stone before hitting up a real Pro, might be exactly what someone is looking for. We're very laid back and fun. To which any of the people we've worked with will attest to.

But if we don't meet the criteria for this list, that's okay. Just wanted to offer.

Hi

I am sorry, you don't meet the criteria - you exceed it! Welcome to the list. Your details have now been added.

Give it time Tereyn, they might be nervous or shy.

An excellent point. We have tried to get an information page about the Mentoring program pinned at the top of the 'Newbie Forum', but so far without success. Hopefully eventually they will relent and allow us to do so.

I actually posted some replies to newbie posts offering modeling assistance and posting a link to this thread. So hopefully more people know about it!

That would be extremely helpful to this thread. Until then, we browse the newbie forums ourselves

First of all, what a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do! Thank you for spear-heading this!

I would be very interested in being mentored by someone near Seattle, WA. I did scour the list, but didn't see anyone near there.

Thank you,
Ashley

Although we don't have anyone in your area, I'm sure any of us would be glad to offer you advice and go over your portfolio with you. Check over some of the mentor models/photographers and see if anyone's style interests you. Good luck!

Exactly.

I'd love a mentor! I've only been on here for a couple of days and already I'm confused and overwhelmed! However I couldn't see any in Australia?

Any of us can help you with site questions and modeling questions! Just find a mentor you think you can connect with, and send a message. Good luck

This is cool, I most def. Need help.

Try to find someone on the first page list to be your mentor. Or, look through the mentors and find someone whose style interests you and send them a message!
