Master Mentors List
The list of subjects each master is offering does not preclude other areas
they might be willing to share with the person they are mentoring. Camera
function as well as postproduction might all be a part of what is shared as
well as the subjects listed. Those who mentor and those who are being
mentored are in complete control of how they chose to set up their
programs.

Creative / Photoshop Skills
What constitutes a creative image, how to visualize and create that vision
using Photoshop. In so doing you will also learn post processing
techniques that will serve you in any photographic endeavor.
Most work would be on computer at my house or yours. I am open to how
this is arranged.

I am always up for a discussion of photographs.
My interests are photographing people doing things, wildlife doing things,
and nature in general. Lately I have been dabbling in “creative.”
Photoshop/Topaz is my processing tool of choice.
My preference would be to do this with Zoom in short sessions, about 30 to
40 minutes each.

Black and White and Infrared
This would take the form of either a) email / critique and correspondence,
or b) zoom video calls to go over post processing or c) field visits to shoot
infrared photography either at my place or another place. I don’t use
photoshop or Lightroom, so my point of view would be mostly what
consider in-camera, or general editing such as how to use contrast and
color channel adjustments in processing black and white images.
Communication could be in person, by phone, by email, and by Zoom. I
think Zoom is an especially interesting tool for this sort of interaction.

Color Theory and Practice in Photographic Images
How can one craft successfully color images if you weren’t born with an
innate sense of color? Color theory can help plan a direction and modern
editing tools can be used to implement that vision.
While complete mastery of color is a lifelong pursuit, (and I have only taken
the first few steps), much progress can be made through the study of the
topic on YouTube and other educational resources.
I see myself as a facilitator in your own studies, giving direction on how to
begin your own exploration and perhaps try to help implement the theory in
your own images. Most workflows would be via email with exchanges of
image files used for examples.

Nature
Walking or hiking partner to our Sonoma County Regional Parks for
someone who is not familiar with Sonoma County or doesn’t wish to
venture out alone. We can take advantage of what nature has to offer.
Never leave home without your camera! ;o)
Feedback on images via email and phone. I use Photoshop with some
Topaz products.
Matting your photo for an upcoming exhibit? I can help get you started on
mats up to 24”
Anne Abrams
I have been exploring iphonography as a creative tool in my photography.
I began when I lost strength and mobility in my hands after surgery. I am
learning about my new iPhone 14 and would enjoy exchanging ideas,
techniques and apps with other iPhone or smart phone users.
Communication could be in person, by phone, by email, and by Zoom.

Travel, Journalism, Pictorial and Nature are the SRPS categories in which I
am usually competing.
Recently, I have taken up color nature photography, but prior to that I
focused on street and travel images, frequently in BW. Happy to help with
overall reviews of images, such as defining your audience, intent, mood,
point of view, and also more ‘tech” considerations such as camera settings,
post-processing, conversion to BW, and processing to enhance and
communicate your intent. I love Lightroom Classic and now use it almost
exclusively.
Happy to discuss images not intended for SRPS, or images for SRPS
competition. Images for SRPS competitions may require/benefit from
specific processing, effective titling, and in my opinion, can require a
slightly different mindset.
I live in Kenya, one can’t call me easily as we are 11 hours ahead. That
said, it makes mornings and evenings work for me and for the person on
the other end. Zoom, FaceTime and WhatsApp work well, and email is
easy, too.
