ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP

One-on-one photography mentorship based in the Western Great Lakes

From Previous Guests

“Going into this I had no idea how Photoshop worked, Lightroom was my entire workflow from start to finish. Nick explained Photoshop with easy-to-follow lessons that made learning Photoshop fun and exciting.”

Angela I.

“I met Nick in Michigan and talked with him while we shot a sunrise. I reached out to him for help editing the photos after seeing his final shot. Not only did he explain the process but he demonstrated it clearly. Thank you again!”

John G.

“Nick’s practical approach to landscape shooting and post-processing is easy to follow and delivers real-life results. Thanks to Nick, I have gotten excited about astrophotography and am no longer afraid of Photoshop.”

John M.

“Watching YouTube videos is one thing, but having someone there to help you is a completely new way of learning. With Nick’s help, I learned the power of luminosity masks and exposure blending. Completely changed my workflow!”

Let’s Learn Together.

Location is Everything.

Those who follow my work and content know I adore the Upper Peninsula and the natural areas that define Michigan. Growing up in this region has given me an in-depth understanding of some of the best landscape photography locations available, and even lesser-known areas that are well worth the adventure! I hold a wealth of both popular and unconventional locations throughout Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Illinois that feature landscapes well beyond expectations. I am happy to help those comfortable with their photographic abilities seek out locations and find new areas!

We can shoot at any location you would like, or I can take you to some of my favorite locations throughout Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota! Please reach out if you have a specific location in mind so we can discuss the details of your mentorship! Some popular locations include:

  • The Porcupine Mountains - Michigan

  • The Keweenaw Peninsula - Michigan

  • The Apostle Islands - Wisconsin

  • Door County - Wisconsin

  • The Driftless Region - Wisconsin

  • The North Shore - Minnesota

Mentorship is available throughout the United States and Canada - Please inquire if you are outside of the Great Lakes Region.

Pricing

My approach is simple - Provide value at a fair price. In an attempt to provide the most reasonable and competitive pricing available, I have broken down my one on one mentorship programs by hours in the field or working virtually doing post processing. I am happy to travel to locations outside of the Western Great Lakes for a mutually agreed total prior to the trip. Please reach out with questions if you are looking to venture outside of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota.
