One-on-one mentoring sessions

Ray’s photographic artistry is quite beautiful and in addition, he is a wonderful mentor. Ray is patient and generous in imparting his wide experience and knowledge of photogravure printing. He tailors his teaching to the level of the student; when further details are needed, Ray is there to answer and support. As he said, “I find great joy watching my students try this process [photogravure in this case] for themselves. The fact that the process is ink on paper and printed on an etching press is often unlike any other photography process they have learned. It is simple enough to achieve good prints quickly, but deep and complex enough to take years to truly master.” I highly recommend Ray for one-on-one mentoring sessions.

Very productive sessions.

These are great sessions. I really like being able to work together to identify/verify goals for the one-on-one and then focus on solutions to meet them. Very productive indeed!

Excellent help with my lighting concerns

Ray was so helpful with an ongoing lighting problem that’s been bothering me for a while now. I feel like there’s never a dumb question with Ray which is a breath of fresh air given my experience with some other teachers. Highly recommend.
