MENTORSHIP COURSE
The 12 month part time online Body of Work course is ideal for working professionals and photographers who are based outside of Johannesburg or South Africa, and are unable to attend regular classes. The course presents an opportunity to develop your body of work through a system of personalised individual mentorship and ongoing critical engagement sessions, with industry professional and founder of Through The Lens Collective, Michelle Loukidis.
You will be guided through the narrative building process through sustained and in depth engagement with Concept, Technique, Context and Meaning, towards the finalization of your year-long project.
Mentorship will take place through a series of regular appointments (online, via Zoom or meetings at TTLC) where we discuss project process and development, research and assignment feedback, as well as photographic practice and technique.
By the end of this course you should have a focused, cohesive body of work, with a clear and coherent practitioners statement. It is based around one on one sessions.

We offer photographic mentorship aimed at those who wish to get individual one on one feedback sessions concerning their work. This can help with creating a coherent body of work through developing a personal photographic voice and approach. Mentoring sessions will introduce you to photographers, artists, history and the discourse of photography, which will enable you to reflect on your own practice and situate it in a broader social, cultural and historical context. In a nurturing environment, under the guidance of practicing art photographers and professionals, you will be encouraged to explore your creativity, seek inspiration, gain technical camera skill, enhance your retouching skills and think critically about photography in order to produce compelling work that expresses your vision of the world.
