One to One Mentoring

Photography can be more than an incredible career, it can become a lifestyle, and more importantly, it can become a tool for positive change. ​

I want to help expand your skill set, fulfil your creative potential and build a meaningful living as a visual storyteller.

I'll be reviewing your website and social account. Understanding you as a person, Talking dreams, goals and getting you moving in the right direction to achieve them.

MUCH MORE THAN A ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Matt is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and very easy to engage with and he also happens to do terrific work.  He can help you on your photographic journey, whether you are just starting out, or are a seasoned pro with years of experience.    I’ve followed Matt and his work for a while and when I won an hour 1-1 session with him we had an amazing hour together and I would totally recommend him!

He meets you where you are at and discusses what’s relevant to you and your journey, giving lots of good tips.  He is full of good ideas, thinks outside the box and has a terrific, upbeat outlook on life which is very infectious.  The thing I liked most about my hour with Matt is just how approachable and lacking in ego he was.

I would definitely recommend Matt and his tutorials as a worthwhile investment into yourself, your career and your future and I am sure you will find your time with Matt totally worthwhile and edifying.

“Having worked on both sides of the camera (and coming from a family of photographers) I can quickly assess if someone truly knows what they are doing. Miraculously, I stumbled into Matt Porteous and he instantly became one of my favorite photographers. He magically captures moments in time and generously thanks everyone involved. I will be forever grateful for Matt’s inspiring mentoring sessions. Matt is more than a teacher - he breathes life into each lesson. Matt is strong where as I am apprehensive, he is patient and he can break down a complicated shoot into simple understandable steps. With each step he is encouraging and builds my confidence"

I'm in the process of building my online tutorial and I'd love you to be involved from the start.

I don't specialise in one area of photography but instead, pride myself in simply being able to tell stories of the places and people I meet along the way.

Over the next few months, I'll be sharing my journey and inspiring you to take your visual storytelling to a new level. You'll learn how to take your future into your own hands and create a job that becomes your dream lifestyle.
