One on One individual tutoring & mentoring

Cost is $500 for a full day.

Level – Beginner to Advanced

The day usually will consist of us discussing what areas you would like to work on. This can be anything from basic camera functions to editing with Photoshop and Lightroom, shooting with flash, good ways to get people to relax. Literally anything we can think of.

I sometimes will have a model if needed depending on what it is we might be doing. We will go shoot, you and me. After we will grab some lunch at some point and then go look at some of what we did.

I also do not mind looking at some of your work and giving a critique.

These days are very laid back and fun.

Here are some testimonials:

“Hey Chuck,

I wanted to take a minute and thank you again for the One on One session.  I don’t know which portion of the day I benefitted more from, but combining them all is going to be a tremendous help to me in the long run.  It was funny when you mentioned that by paying you I would save a LOT of money, although I was laughing at the time you are absolutely right!  (That should be your slogan!  Ha!)  Just learning more about my one little flash was worth the price of admission in itself. : )
The posing, the angles, watching backgrounds, composition, the critique, experimenting with the video light, post production… the list goes on.  I think what I’m trying to say is “thank you”.  Thank you for your candid approach, for making me “think” more about what I’m shooting, asking my why I do what I do.  I think that was the best way to get a good (or bad) answer out of me. : )  I felt very comfortable the entire day and lost count of how many times the metaphorical light bulb turned on over my head.  Ha!

In all sincerity I greatly appreciate you spending a full day with me, challenging me to be better without ever coming out and saying it.  I hope you are able to share your knowledge ( and mutual love for 80′s metal) with many more… the photographic community is a better place with people like you in it!

Look for me to stay in touch, if you’re still offering these in a year I’ll probably be ready for a refresher.

Thank you again!

“Chuck,

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed your One on Uno session the other day.  I really appreciate how much you were willing to work specifically on what I wanted instead of a sticking to a set “lesson plan” for the day.  The session shooting with the models was great but my favorite part was the time and attention you gave me while we were just hanging out talking.  Though it may not have seemed like it at the time I learned so much from that one day and because of your help I believe that my photography will be much more artistically solid.  I’ve been to several workshops and seminars and I’ve never had anyone take the time to give me such a detailed critique of my past work.  You were able to find patterns in my work that I had no idea even existed.  I’ve already reccomended you to several of my photographer friends and that’s just not something I usually do.

Thanks again Chuck.

Judy Cormier - Hey Chuck …

I’d love to do a one-on-one with you.

I’m actually heading down to Ruston, LA for the same thing with Kelly Moore for May 11. Would it be possible to arrange something around the same time?

Reason I’m asking is because I’m driving to Ruston … I’m doing a roadtrip through the U.S. The only other thing I have scheduled is a boudoir with another photographer in Dallas on May 13. So I could actually head to Nashville before May 11, or head there a little after May 15.

I’m planning 2-3 weeks off, so if we can fit it in, I’d love to do it.

I really want to do a shoot with you. Lighting outside and inside is mainly what I’m looking for. I want to be able to work it into my e-session sessions, sizzle sessions (couple’s boudoirish) and of course my regular boudoir work.

Let me know what you think and if its doable!!

Thanks :)
Judy

Simon Buck - Dear Chuck,

I’ve been a huge fan of your images since I started really getting into photography as a business a couple of years ago. The notion that you can be successful in both wedding AND music photography is one I was glad to see was a real possibility.

First of all, if you are ever in the UK I would be really keen to arrange a one-on-one session if you have the time. Secondly I wondered what the costs/requirements would be to teach a 3 day group workshop of max 10 people here in the UK.

If any of the above appeals to you in any way please let me know and I will work out the viable options.

Many thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Simon Buck

admin - Simon,
If I am ever there then let’s do it. As far as costs for a workshop, I feel I am pretty reasonable in the workshop scheme of things. $1200 for 2 1/2 days. I like to get 15 people. Plus I would want to bring my family.
I hope I can gather enough interest to be able to do that. Don’t know how the economy is right now over there but here it is brutal. I have a few friends that are putting the feelers out for me. If I do go I would want to make a couple of stops. Sweden for sure and possibly Italy. If I could get 3 workshops over a couple of weeks then it would be very easy to go.
Thank you so much for you comments.
