Mentoring

Last week, there was an enthusiastic reception to setting up mentoring groups as part of our activities. I’m now working on a form for those (the majority who were present) to sign-up.  We are also looking at the program for meetings when we can hold mentoring sessions.

For those who weren’t at the meeting, here’s some background information.

What is mentoring
  • Would you like to have others discuss your work in small groups so you get an alternative viewpoint? Others won’t have the same emotional attachment to your image.
  • Would you like more help to understand how to get certain effects or get the most out of your camera? 
  • Do you have other questions about photography? 
  • Perhaps you’d just like to help others develop their skills? 
  • Do you just fancy talking about images in a small group?

If so, then mentoring may be for you. 

This to enhance your skills – not necessarily for competitions

How will these group work?
  • However you want them to
  • They have a random distribution of people with different skill levels
  • Discussion within groups can take place via  Email, WhatsApp, over a drink, each group decides what they want to do. We will also use club meetings.

Look out for the email and WhatsApp message so you can sign up to participate.
