IPA Mentorship Program Testimonials
My initial intention of joining the mentorship program was to give myself some “reasons” to photograph. It turned out that I have gained more than what I could have possibly imagined. Not only did I get to know more about myself, but I am experiencing the passion again that pushed me to photograph in the first place. Kevin’s detailed critiques have always been honest and professional, and have given me something to strive for in my next photo shoot. I really appreciate all that you’ve shared with us!
Thank you Kevin and other participants for a WONDERFUL class. I have learned so much from you guys. You guys have been amazing! I am so going to miss our Google Hangout Session.
PETER TEH, Mentorship Program 2014
The mentorship program helped me a lot to look at things differently. Having a good mentor like Ox Lee and seeing how he helped the rest of the participants to improve is an inspiration to me. I learned so much not only from my mentor and also fellow participants.
AIK BENG CHIA, Mentorship Program 2014
Prior to the IPA mentorship, I did not have a project idea in mind and I have never been worked on photography projects before. Kevin didn’t give me a project himself but he guided and suggested what to look at (after seeing my portfolio) and try various approaches (possibilities) during the first month of the program. At first, it was really tough for me as I do not have any formal training. My only passion is to walk on streets and photograph people. My eyes only looked for and chased “street photography”. After a month working with Kevin, I slowed down my steps and paid more attention to things I wouldn’t normally “see”. I finally decided to photograph my hometown where i have been living for 33 years. Thanks to Kevin’s input and suggestion (and patience with me), I am finally doing something that means a lot to me which I took for granted for so many years. Kevin gave honest feedback all the time, I learn a lot from him. I got feedback from all the other participants as well.
SCOTT CHUNG, Mentorship Program 2014
I was looking to push myself further… not on composition or lighting conditions nor technicalities but to nudge me forward to better understand my work, to critic my work and to produce better edits. Editing in my opinion is the key to any series of work.
My personal observation is that Kevin has been able to mentor and engage participants from various levels of photographic competency and journey to bring about a positive change in their personal work.
