We offer a range of mentorship services for photographers at all stages in their career. Applicants should be serious, professional photographers with at least one established body of work; we reserve the right to decline applicants who do not meet these criteria or who we do not feel would benefit from our services. Please see below for the current options available and feel free to get in touch with any related queries.
Portfolio Reviews & Consultations
Professional photographers at any level are welcome to apply for a nineteensixtyeight consultation.
Consultations are purchased as individual sessions, which can be conducted over Skype, as written reviews, or in person on the occasion of certain special events (for example, presence at a photo fair).
Based on an photographer’s particular needs, he or she will be assigned to individual sessions with one of nineteensixtyeight’s directors, Isabella Brancolini or Elizabeth Breiner.
