Flash Portraits Made Simple:
The Mentorship
For Students of Flash Portraits Made Simple Who Want Personal Guidance from Ed

Walk away with one specific, concrete ability: step into any environment, read the situation, place your subject, and set up one or more lights to deliver a professional portrait. Every single time.

Whether you’ve just enrolled in the Flash Portraits Made Simple course, or you’ve watched every module without it fully clicking, this is what gets you from understanding flash to owning your new skills.

Here’s How It Works

This isn’t just feedback on completed assignments. It’s six weeks of Ed watching your specific work, correcting your thinking, and guiding you, wherever you’re starting from, until you have a genuine command of portrait lighting, not just familiarity with it.

  • Getting Started
    Before anything else, we establish exactly where you are and where you want to be. You share a bit about your experience with Flash Portraits Made Simple. We’ll go over how far you’ve gotten, what you’ve shot, where your confidence breaks down. Ed responds personally with a clear picture of how the six weeks will work for you specifically. Whether you’ve just enrolled in the course or you’ve watched every module, this is how the mentorship gets shaped around you rather than the other way around. Format can be video or email, and works across time zones and languages.
  • Module Walkthroughs & Assignment Reviews
    Whether you’re starting the course fresh or picking up where you left off, you work through each module and submit your assignment images. Ed responds to your actual work within 24 hours. Not general tips, but specific corrections and direction based on what you shot, how you set it up, and what went wrong or right.
  • Real-World Scenario Work
    This is where the mentorship goes beyond any course. You bring Ed actual situations: a location you’re about to shoot, an environment you’re unsure how to approach, a setup you attempted and couldn’t get right. Ed walks you through how to read it, where to place your subject, and how to build your light. You shoot. You send results. Ed responds. This is how the course becomes a skill you own.
  • Direct Access — All Six Weeks
    Questions at any point? Send them. A location you’re scouting, a setup photo you’re unsure about, a shot you want a second opinion on. Reach out by video, image, or email and Ed responds within 24 hours. Video and/or written responses mean you can work across time zones and languages, review Ed’s feedback at your own pace, translate as needed, and return to it whenever you need a reminder. Most photographers never have an expert instructor this available to them. That availability is a big part of what makes the difference
  • Closing Assessment
    At the end of six weeks, Ed evaluates whether you’ve reached the goal. Can you walk into a situation, read the environment, place your subject, and build a lighting setup that delivers a professional portrait? If yes, you’ll know it, and you’ll have the images to prove it. Ed gives you a written personal assessment you’ll keep and return to.

Who This Is For

You’ve watched our Flash Portraits Made Simple course, or you’re about to, but watching isn’t the same as owning it. You want to actually be able to walk into a location, assess what you’re working with, and build a portrait setup that delivers.

Maybe you’ve done the assignments but without any feedback, you’re not sure you got them right. Maybe you’ve gone through the whole course and still feel uncertain the moment a real situation doesn’t match what was in the lesson.

Or you haven’t started at all, and you want to go through it the right way, with an expert watching and correcting you from the first module to the final image.

Wherever you are in the course, the destination is the same: complete confidence in any portrait lighting situation. That’s the only thing this mentorship is designed to deliver.

Most photographers who finish a flash course still hesitate in real situations. Not because they didn’t learn. But because they never had anyone watching their actual work, correcting their specific decisions, and pushing them until it became instinct. That’s what 40 years of experience and six weeks of direct attention can do.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We start from wherever you are in Flash Portraits Made Simple, first module or last. The kickoff call is specifically designed to establish your starting point and shape how we work together from there.

Not at all. In fact, you’re in a strong position. We’ll start from wherever you are. If you’ve watched most of the modules, we focus immediately on the assignments you may have skipped or done without feedback, and move quickly into real-world scenario work. The goal is the same regardless of where you start.

The mentorship is a six-week engagement. If you’ve actively worked through the assignments and we’re not at the goal yet, a paid extension is available. We’ll discuss that together at the closing assessment if it’s needed.

Absolutely. The goal isn’t a career. It’s genuine competence. The kind where you trust yourself completely in any situation, shoot confidently, and walk away with images you’re proud of. Whether that’s for clients or for your own satisfaction, that’s exactly what we work toward.

You send your assignment images, a question, a setup photo, a location you’re planning to shoot, whatever you’re working through, by email or video message. I’ll respond within 24 hours with a personal video or written reply specifically about your work. Not general advice. A response about your images, your decisions, and exactly what to adjust.
