Group mentor/development sessions
These group mentor/development sessions are run on designated dates throughout the year and each will be given an individual theme.
Group mentor sessions are scheduled to offer a supportive environment in which to explore certain subjects, which I set for the period of time we are working together. These sessions are aimed at anyone who likes to learn in a more social setting. You will still receive 1:1 feedback and be able to ask all your questions, however, not to such an extent as if you took individual mentoring sessions.
The first time we meet I will present to you the subject before a Q&A session. Then prior to the 2nd and 3rd sessions I will ask you to complete homework tasks which we will discuss and view the results from the second and third time we meet. These groups are completely closed and offer a safe and supportive learning experience.
Group mentor sessions are for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 individuals
They run for 1.5- 2hrs in length
Run via Zoom and all recorded for playback for the course participants.
Intentional Camera Movement - Deep dive 6 subjects course - 6 sessions
Over 6 sessions I will guide you deep into 6 ICM subjects - Each week a new presentation with loads of material from real shoots to fully understand all the aspects and factors that influence ICM photography from 6 subjects - woodlands and trees, water, architecture and urban, animals, details and the last week will actually cover a number of smaller subject (so actually you get more than 6 subjects!) In addition to the presentation each session you will be asked to submit a homework assignment in response to each presentation. From this, you will gain timely and valuable individual feedback and an opportunity to discuss any challenges you found or questions that you have.
By the end of the course you will have a deeper understanding of a variation of ICM subjects - some you may wish to take further, others you may not. But having the support to experiment and gain immediate feedback is an invaluable way to learn and be supported if this interests you.
This course is 6 sessions run over a 3-month period. Most sessions are 2 weeks apart. This allows adequate time for homework assignments to be completed and lots of time for experimentation and development of understanding.

ICM Deep Dive Further
A new course for the second half of 2023.
So many of you have followed the Deep dive course, then asked for more. So, I have created this course as a follow on to the Deep dive course.
Similar to the original course, it will run over 6 sessions. This course is aimed at developing your creativity further. However, rather than subjects, you will be encouraged to interpret words and concepts using the ICM technique.
If you have enjoyed the monthly ICM challenges, this will be the perfect course for you, with lots of valuable individual feedback and an opportunity to discuss any challenges you found or questions that you have. Once again, I hope to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and experiment to develop your ICM journey further.
Every week there will be a presentation and feedback.
By the end of the course I hope you will have further extended your knowledge and understanding of the ICM technique and how its possibilities go further than just a technical process.
This course is 6 sessions run over a 3-month period. This allows adequate time for homework assignments to be completed and lots of time for experimentation and development of understanding.
20.00-22.00 Central European Time (1hr earlier in UK)

Lots of real-life examples showing the process from the initial idea, through capture and then post-processing in photoshop. Please note -This is not a workshop to learn in-camera multiple exposure work, this is not something I practise, as my camera offers very limited opportunities do to this. Presentations, homework and 1:1 feedback.

Personal project mentoring group ****NEW group starting January 2024****
New for 2023 I introduced a new concept idea for group mentoring, and it is going so well, I would like to run this in 2024 as well. This one is for anyone who would like to create/follow a personal project in 2024 with the support of a close group and me to guide you on the journey.
This is a bit different because although it is a course, I would rather call it a group experience, because it is going to be spread over the whole of 2024. Once each month I will gather the group for a presentation or discussion, each of which will help to guide you through creating and following and committing to a project. It can be absolutely anything from ICM or multiple exposures through to portraits, mixed media or combining writing and images.
There will be 10 places available for this group.
The group meetings will happen on the second Monday of each month and will be 2-hour sessions at 8pm Dutch time.
Some meetings I will present on a subject relevant to project creation and development, other meetings I will ask you to present your projects and your experiences. This experience will require a bit of self-motivation, but I will be there to encourage and help. I will provide tools and knowledge so you can work through a project gently in 2024 and fit it around your life, rather than making it too demanding. I believe each and every one has the ability to create wonderful bodies of work, sometimes we just need a little bit of support and someone to be accountable to! If this sounds like your thing, do not hesitate to get in touch.
The course starts January 2024
All sessions will be recorded, so you can watch back or catch up.
The cost for the 12 sessions is 195 euros. (inc VAT)
Personal project course
This course is perfect for those interested in mentoring, but who enjoy the camaraderie of the group sessions I offer. Aimed at those wanting to take their photography a step further.
During this course, you will brainstorm and come up with a photographic concept or project that you would like to work on. This could be something you have been thinking about for a while, but unsure of how to get it started. It could be you have no ideas right now and feel something like this would give you a focus for your photography in 2023. It need not be ICM or multiple exposure.
The end result is completely driven by yourself – it maybe you want to create a photo book, or have images ready for an exhibition or qualification submission – anything goes as far as a personal goal. Through a combination of group and personal 1:1 sessions, you will set goals, create yourself identifiable milestones and be supported towards your end goal.
The group will work together over the timescale of 3 months.
Group sessions x 5
1:1 sessions x 2

Just a couple of messages of feedback from course participants regarding how much value they gained from following the group mentoring courses.
Loved, loved, loved being a part of this group and enjoyed the camaraderie, enthusiasm and energy of the sessions and participants. I can’t wait to travel and come visit your neck of the woods! Thank you for sharing the beauty of your areas through ICM.Traci- ICM and multiple exposures group mentoring course.
I really enjoyed this course! I don’t think I have attended a workshop before where everyone was so supportive of each other. Birgitta- ICM and multiple exposures group mentoring course
Thank you so much for the workshops. I learned so much from your input in the first session and was able to put a lot of it into practice. Thank you too to the group - each one of you have inspired me. Your images were so creative and your feedback to each other has given me new ideas to develop my photography. Look forward to seeing you again! Valerie - ICM and multiple exposures group mentoring course
