Do you find yourself struggling with dark skin tones?
You're ready to diversify your portfolio but aren’t confident in shooting and editing clients with darker skin tones. You want to attract clients from all different backgrounds but you are finding it hard to get skin tones perfect.
In all honesty you are not alone in this struggle. From the beginning of my career I knew that I loved the beautiful classic look of film, but my digitals just simply fell flat. My darker skinned clients were either orange, washed out or blue. I made it my mission to honor the lovely skin tones that my clients had while mastering the soft classic look I knew I loved. You want to create a look ALL of your clients will love. You want to photograph and edit in a way that has your clients coming back to you over and over again...and referring all of their friends. Most of all you want to respect the beautiful tones your clients were born with.
So, let me help you be more confident, comfortable, and carefree.

Example Curriculum
Hey, I'm Ty!
I have always had the heart for empowering others. My mentoring services extend to people wanting to learn the basics about their DSLR’s all the way to learning manual settings, dramatic lighting, editing, and more. If you want to take your photography to the next level, you need a mentor. You need to invest in education. As soon as I decided I wanted to take my photography more seriously, I hired a mentor that I still work with to this day. Now, I love to pay it forward by helping others whose shoes I was once in.
