Mentoring
Sharing Our Knowledge One Person at a Time
Maybe you’ve taken a class in the composition of images. Or perhaps you’re having difficulty figuring out Lightroom. Perhaps you’ve just developed some new skills in Adobe Photoshop CS5, but sometimes confused about choosing the right lens for the right job? Maybe you have the basics of Photomatix down but want to delve into it further.
Selecting a camera, printing, shooting fast-paced sports events or soft macro images, lighting, both natural and in the studio - there are so many technical and artistic areas of photography that it’s difficult for any one person to be skilled at all of them. Solution? Share what you know with someone who wants to know. You don’t have to be an expert. Just one or two steps ahead of the person you’re sharing with is sometimes all you need. And the wonderful thing about mentoring is that you reinforce for yourself what you know while you are helping someone else.
Wasatch Camera Club’s mentoring program is a pay-it-forward person-to-person project. It can involve as little as 2 or 3 hours a month sharing with another person something you know. After a couple of months, or as long as it takes to get the job done [maybe a bit shorter or longer], you’re finished. No long-term commitment.
If this is a program that you would like to participate in, either as a mentor or as the learner, please fill out the mentoring survey form on this site that is in Adobe PDF format. (If you filled out this form at the Talkabout meeting in October no need to repeat it here.) Alternatively, you may fill out the online survey.
