I’ve been selected, together with other 8 photographers, for the inaugural edition of the Lucie Foundation E-pprentice Mentor Program. The program pairs, for six months an emeging talent and and established professional. The mentorship started in February and it is really a stimulating experience. This is an excerpt from the press release:
The Lucie Foundation announces the first round of participants for E-pprentice, a new and exciting electronic mentorship that uses technology to bridge the physical distance between emerging and professional photographers. Through the program, “mentees” receive criticism and guidance from their mentors who are leaders and innovators of the photography industry. This modern
mentorship utilizes instant messaging and video chat programs to allow critique and discussions to occur.The “mentees” were selected through an international, online, submissions process.
Those selected from the large pool of impressive candidates showed a solid technical
grasp and submitted a series of images that displayed a consistent aesthetic and sound
concept. The Lucie Foundation has paired each with a mentor that shares a similar
aesthetic and established this program to further expound on a specific tier of the mission
statement, which is to discover and cultivate emerging talent.
