Start learning more about photography in the most personal way possible on the internet.
This post will tell you about a few of the advantages of learning about Photography through PhotoMentors with the help of Steadman Uhlich.
This service is designed to be different and to help you in ways you might not even think are possible!
__________
It all starts with a Free Introduction Call with Steadman Uhlich
There are several reasons for this call. First, it helps us help you. By knowing something about you and your experience and goals, we can better address our comments and suggestions to what you need or may want to know. We can also save you time and avoid wasting your minutes on discussions that do not apply to you.
Our goal is to provide the most personal service available on the internet.
This is going to be very different from any previous on-line classes you may have taken before. This is truly personalized instruction.
It all starts when you call PhotoMentors on a FREE First Introduction Call to discuss your needs or desires to learn.
During that call we will ask you what you want to learn and how you want to learn.
There is no fee for this call and if you use Skype to call us it will be a free phone call (using Skype to Skype) regardless of where you are in the world!
This is the basic information that your Tutor, Teacher, or Mentor will need. Tell us about yourself and what you want to learn and some about your background. Your application will be read by Steadman and thought given to how to provide the best learning experience for you.
What do I need to communicate with my mentor?
The best level of service we provide is by using a phone call or Skype call. This allows us to have a Live, Voice, Dialog with you. You may call using your own land-line phone, your cell phone, or a VOIP call using Skype. We highly recommend using Skype for several important reasons. We recommend you use a headset with a microphone, Skype (VoIP software you can download for free) and a computer that is hooked up to the Internet. Your phone calls will be free via our communication channel (Skype). See our communications page for more information, tips, and important details. If you do not have Skype you can find a link every page of this site to the official Skype website page where you can download the software for free. We will also provide you with recommendations for headsets and a High Quality Video webcam (optional) too. Skype is used by 300 million people around the world. It is proven, safe, secure, and free (for most uses). The sound quality can be so good, that it will sound like you are talking to someone in the same room.
Broaden Your View with Global Perspectives
The Importance of the PhotoMentors Introduction
Your first call with your Tutor or Mentor will be easier because we will have already established some of the basic facts that can stimulate meaningful dialog. Busy professionals seldom like unexpected calls from anyone seeking their advice. Few professionals have the time for that. And it is often almost impossible to get through to a top ranked and busy pro. It is best to go the PhotoMentor way with an introduction to the Tutor or Mentor. We call this “Picking Your Path.”
The real difference here is that you will be participating in a Live Voice Dialog or conversation with your tutor, teacher, or mentor.
Your lessons will be tailored to your exact needs and goals.
Whether your interest is to learn how to take better pictures of your family or more to learn how to start a business, we can help you.
_______
What makes this different?
Here is the big difference between our method, and other self study methods, you may have come across on the Internet: when you have a question, you can ask it directly to your tutor, teacher, or mentor and get an immediate answer through a Live Voice Dialog, a real-time voice communication. This will help you avoid misunderstanding and will allow you to progress more quickly. It is also a lot more fun to learn this way.
Each of your sessions will be at the perfect time for you, and at the right level for your experience and skills.
Your Tutor or Mentor will move you on to new subjects and topics and levels of difficulty when you are ready.
This means you’ll be going at the exact pace, you need or want.
If you need to spend more time on a subject, you can do that.
If you need to ask more questions, you can do that too.
If you need to take a break, because of family or work commitments, you can do that too.
You will learn at the proper pace for you.
This is going to make a very big positive difference in how you learn.
______
A Learning Partnership
Learning a new skill in this way is really a partnership. One of the most important things for you to do is to set realistic goals. Your Tutor, Teacher, or Mentor can help you with this. Then you need to stay motivated to pursue those goals. They will help you with that too.
As you progress and reach different levels of understanding, your Tutor, Teacher, or Mentor will give you immediate feedback.
You won’t get that from a book, a DVD, a text-based online course, and often you won’t get if from a typical short-term lecture-based photography workshop.
This will let you know how you’re progressing. That, in itself will help you build your confidence in your own abilities. This is very different from being an anonymous lurker, a number and a large class, or someone who is not accountable. You will be surprised, in what a positive difference, this will make in how you learn.
How Accountability Helps You
Think back to when you may have had an athletic coach or excellent teacher in the past. They held you accountable for making progress. This is very important in developing and reaching higher levels than you think you can reach. It is vital to making sure you do not get stuck in a rut and satisfied with less than you can be. Don’t worry though, there are no report cards or grades.
As you work toward your learning goal, you will be asked many questions.
The answers will generally be found within you.
You will find how important this is to true creative growth.
It is one of the most important differences in our approach.
A True Mentor will help you find new ideas and confidence and abilities within yourself.
If you ever get stuck or need some help, your Tutor or Mentor will be available to give you the support, motivation, encouragement, and guidance that will keep you on the path to success in learning.

How can I help you?
My Role as Your Mentor
The most important thing I can do is inspire you to look at your photography differently and to challenge you to consider new ways of making photographs.
From this, you will find new creativity inside yourself and new inspirations in the world around you. When that happens, you will feel the Power of WOW as the world becomes a place full of creative possibilities. That is my ultimate goal.
In addition, I can provide you with valuable advice on how to avoid common mistakes and how to make better photographs.
On this site you will find many pages that will tell you about many more ways I may be able to help you. Look for the blue Related Posts links at the bottom of this page for more information.

_________
Insight is the Goal
One of the things I keep in mind when mentoring other people is my goal to make the lesson something that they “own” and understand fully. I want the mentee to understand the reasons and “see” it so clearly that it becomes something they will retain and value. This comes by sharing how I see their images or work and comparing how THEY see the work and THEIR vision. We discuss things. We compare their intent and their preliminary result (such as a raw image).
Then by use of questions the mentee will discover things for themselves. This may then be reinforced by examples and variations.
Choices are discussed.
Options uncovered.
Creativity unlocked.
The result is often an insight for the mentee.
In some cases this takes only a few minutes to “see” and understand a conceptual or visual difference, or to learn a new way of looking at the subject or a new technique.
In many cases this breakthrough can take just a few moments or even seconds!
When that “AHA!” moment occurs, it is stimulating and rewarding for both the mentee and the mentor. This shared discovery moment can be something that helps a photographer or artist break out of a box and make progress in fulfilling THEIR vision.
Steadman’s Simple Truths:
“Gear is easy to replace or change and can be changed in minutes.
Good habits take time and repetition to develop.
Bad habits can stick with you a lifetime IF they are not identified, recognized, and corrected.
Insights can make a difference in seconds!”
Steadman

How do you value learning?
The value of what you learn may be “priceless.”
Steadman’s guarantee:
“If I can not offer a suggestion that could improve your photography or help you avoid image weaknesses in the future then there is NO charge for the time we spend together.
In short, if I don’t see something I could improve or if I don’t offer you a suggestion for improvement, I will NOT charge you for my time!
You won’t find a better guarantee than that.”
Steadman

Imagine…
Imagine how valuable that call will be to YOU if we can uncover a solution to your problems.
Imagine what you might learn from having a highly successful professional photographer and fine artist and successful art gallery owner with 25 years experience look at YOUR photo and give you a private discussion of YOUR photo.
Imagine how proud you will be when YOU learn how to make photos that make people say “WOW!”
Imagine how you will feel when you see YOUR Black & White images look like classic B&W photos you have admired all your life.
Imagine how satisfied you will feel when YOU learn how to make your own images look better using simple steps you will remember and be able to use again and again.
Imagine how you will better enjoy YOUR hobby or profession even more if you find ways to overcome obstacles to your skill improvement or your creativity.
Imagine how much more confident YOU will feel in the future when you learn how make better photographs.
Imagine the time you could save and the frustrations you could avoid if you find ways to make better images with simple solutions.
Imagine how your family or clients will respond when they notice the improvement in YOUR photography!
_____________
Steadman’s Method
1. When I teach or mentor or consult with photographers around the world, I use a method I call a Live Voice+Visual Dialog™ on a phone call.
Some people mistakenly think this is just a phone call. It is far from that!
This service is based on both of us sharing a dialog or conversation at the same time as we view your photos together!
We will use BOTH Voice and Visual communication at the same time!
That is not the full story.
You will need to try it to understand and to experience the great difference for yourself!
All communication is by live voice call (a phone call or Skype call).
In short you must call me and speak with me to use this service. No emails. No chat. No PMs. No text messages. No typing. No writing. It is easier and much better this way for many reasons.
_______________
Why does Steadman use Voice calls instead of email or text messages?
Simply because I can tell you many things in a phone call that I will not type and and things I cannot write as effectively.
It is much easier and better and faster as a means of communicating.
It allows us to have a deeper level of communication.
It is more friendly, more natural, and reduces the anxiety or intimidation you might naturally feel when consulting an expert about your photos.
It is more fluid and more immediate in response, so you don’t have to wait and wonder while waiting for an email or text message.
It is a better way of communicating meaning and subtle comments.
It is much more personal and more “human” than email.
It is much more FUN for both you and me!
It is the BEST way to communicate (aside from a real face to face meeting).
_______
What if this call is international?
I provide a truly global service via this site.
I have clients or mentees and photographers I am helping who are truly located around the world.
I communicate with them all via my special method of Live Voice+Visual Dialog.™
My method helps them all accelerate their learning and quickly improve their photography!
Please read below in this post.
You will find much more information about how I communicate with other photographers around the world in many languages!
If you speak English fluently, I can tell you more information and more clearly and more quickly than I can type. I can tell you more because I will have a “Live and Real Time” dialog or conversation with you. The difference between writing and speaking is considerable. You will see and understand on your first call why this is much better than a written comment or critique on a forum.
If English is NOT your first language or if you are concerned about using English because your use of English is NOT fluent or you may feel inhibited in any way from using English, please read down below in this post. I provide help in 18+ languages in addition to English, so I may be able to help you.
_____________
_____________
2. You will not be called by me!
I do NOT call outbound. You will call me when YOU are ready to speak about your photography.
This is so you can be assured that you will NOT be disturbed at a time that is inconvenient for YOU or your family or your work.
You call me by using your phone or Skype.
You may even make a long-distance or international call for FREE if you use a Skype to Skype (VOIP) call so there would be NO long distance phone charge to you.
_______________
________________
Is English a foreign language for you?
If English is not your native language, but is your second language, then you will find it much easier to communicate using my Live Voice+Visual Dialog™ communication method.
There is no need for you to worry about misspelled words or poor grammar or accent.
I will help you and you will find it easier to express yourself clearly.
If there are any questions, it is easier to get clarity because we will be talking in a dialog. If you ever need to ask me a question to clarify something you may not understand, it is very easy because we are in a dialog, with real-time live communication connecting us.
I have Global Operating Hours (Hours of Availability) that fit YOUR schedule around the globe!
You may also call within a wide window of hours. My Global Operating Hours are 9:00AM (0900 hours) to 9:00PM (2100 hours) SEVEN Days a week. Those hours are based on Eastern Standard Time (New York City’s time zone).
I frequently speak with photographers living on the opposite side of the earth from me. It is not unusual nor is it inconvenient for me to speak with photographers in Japan, Australia, Pacific Islands, China, India, Europe, etc. I do this every week and even on weekends!
Don’t let long distances inhibit you from accessing the expertise that can help you improve your photography!

A Verbatim Testimonial Letter from a Mentor Session with Steadman Uhlich
Note: this Mentoring Session was conducted using voice over the internet (via skype) and image file transfers over the internet with the call taking place between the USA and France. The voice quality was crystal clear (it sounded like they were in the same room), the conversation was fun, stimulating, and electric with creativity, humor, and sharing. The only thing they could not share was the bottle of wine.
______________
“I came across Steadman Uhlich in a photography forum where both of us participate, and I was impressed with his commitment to helping people. From there, we shared some views, and, when he informed me that he was setting up a place where people could learn and improve, I knew I was going to try it out.
As it happens, that day, I had gone out and tried to make the most of the last of the autumn leaves. I love trees, especially when clad in full colour, but, somehow, have not been able to get any tree shots that make me go “WOW.” Out of maybe 300 such shots accumulated over 2 years shots, not one of trees, even though I love them, and shot them hundreds of times.
Now enter Steadman Uhlich. I told him this “story”, and expressed frustration. He didn’t give me any technical tips. I assume that, as he knew I could handle other types of shots/subjects, he also knew that the problem was more in “what to want to do” than in “what to do” or “how to do it”. So he told me what to want to do.
‘Imagine the tree in its permanence. Things come and go, people come and go, weather comes and goes, seasons come and go, trees remain. Go out and shoot the tree in all its varying conditions.’
Within a couple of minutes, I was totally inspired, having understood why I have up to now failed, and having had my mind opened to avenues that I had not even considered in how to deepen my approach to photography.
This part of the conversation lasted but a few minutes.
My experience as a business consultant as well as a personal development coach tells me that Steadman Uhlich is exactly who he claims, a true mentor.
Like a locksmith who can pick locks and open doors in people’s minds that free up capability, creativity and talent about photography.
Such people are rare, I am priviledged to have found one who will deepen the pleasure and richness of my hobby.
Thanks, Steady!
Philippe”
A Verbatim Testimonial Letter from a Mentor Session with Steadman Uhlich
“I just wanted to drop a quick note to relay the experience I had with Steadman Uhlich a couple of days ago. On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Steadman in person and spending over four hours talking (in an onsite, face-to-face Mentoring Session), looking at work I had done and going over a little post processing. The time just flew by.
Steadman opened my eyes to many things including composition, shadows and light. Things I thought I had a grasp on, but no I did not.
He truly showed me a way to look at subjects in a way I have not read in books.
His way of teaching and making me look at myself is relaxed and laid back and very refreshing.
I would encourage anyone interested in bettering their photography skills to take the time and give him a call. You will not be disappointed in the time spent on the phone with Steadman. I am looking forward to our future meetings and learning as much as I can from him.”
Doug
Verbatim Testimonial Quote from a Mentor Session with Steadman Uhlich
“Hi, my name is Jeffrey and I am from the Philippines. I just had a Free call using Skype with Photomentors and talked to Steadman Uhlich about photography and what I want to create.
When I first heard his voice, I was not nervous at all even though speaking in English, since English is my Third language.
The conversation that we had was worth it, all of the things that needed to be discussed were really clear, from voice to details.
I am also new in photography and after the conversation and my readings in the PhotoMentors website pages, I was inspired and have decided to take a journey with Photomentors.
I think this is way better than a photography workshop that I’ve attended because this will become more of a “Mentor and Student” relationship rather than “Teacher and Group of people Relationship”.
I believe Photomentors can change your life in a better way not just in photography, but also in your life as a person, after the call and the readings in the website.
You’ll never know, One Call could Change your life! “

Verbatim Testimonial Quote from a consultation with Steadman Uhlich
Steady,
I just wanted to take a few minutes to again thank you for all that you’ve done for me.
I originally posted on [photography forum], a project that I was trying to accomplish with my Grand Daughter, utilizing Natural Light, of her playing her guitar by the window. I knew that I wanted to do them in B&W, so I posted my 1st try on [photography forum], in the People Photography forum. I was getting a lot of people looking by no one really taking the time to comment.
I really was looking for help in this area, as I really wasn’t just posting shots, I really wanted to learn & improve my results.
Steady, this is where you came along, you presented me with some positive comments, but at the same time, showed me where improvement could be made, or at least explored. You offered to talk to me, for a few minutes, to further discuss some of your comments.
I must admit, that at the beginning I was somewhat hesitant, as I’m “fairly new” into photography & thought that I might easily be overwhelmed, in our talks. How wrong I was!!!
Steady, you immediately made me feel right at home, no intimidation at all.
We were miles apart, yet I felt like you were right there with me, not talking down to me, but to me & where I maybe didn’t understand what you were saying, or what you meant, you took the time to reword things, explain, maybe in more detail, but using another approach. I found myself, even asking for more & more.
Then we started analyzing the pictures that I had posted.
You started pointing out things to me, especially in the facial area, that I never really saw, they were always there, but what a difference in the eyes of the beholder.
We started discussing the limitations that I had in where I was shooting the pictures (in my daughter’s kitchen, table & chairs pulled off to the side, me shooting out in the hall way). You could have very easily said, “well find another spot”, but you didn’t. You sat down & said, “so let’s see what we can do with what we have”.
Ideas, that you mentioned, about positioning, cropping, trying to get the viewers’ eyes to do some of the work for us, showed me so much in a different perspective.
Can’t thank you enough!!
Thanks again,
Bob V.
Verbatim Testimonial Quote from a consultation with Steadman Uhlich
“Enabled me to Unlock..”
This was the third time I mentored with Steadman Uhlich, or, more accurately, was mentored by him.
Today my issue was that I had taken a picture which I really liked, posted it on a couple of forums, and, uncharacteristically received, no comment or response whatsoever. So I asked Steady why that might be.
He started by looking at my picture, stating that he saw that it had potential, and asking me what I saw in it. I mentioned the straight stem of the flower, and the sphere adorning it, and the contrast with the sideways leaves, like so many brushstrokes in Oriental style.
He agreed with my “take” on my picture, and said that, if that was the case, why did I not do simple things to make that more immediately visible to the viewer?
He suggested darkening the background. That took me all of 30 seconds, and already made a significant impact. Then he suggested different framing and or cropping, and gave me 4 options. Another 4 or 5 minutes maybe.
Simple, once Steady had suggested it.
He made it feel so obvious, yet nobody else had seen the potential of the picture and enabled me to unlock it.
Thanks, Steady! You and I must do this more often.
Philippe Berend
Verbatim Testimonial Quote from a consultation with Steadman Uhlich
“You have restored my self confidence.”
“Just a short note to say that [our consultation using] Skype yesterday was
the most effective photographic tutorial of any length of time that I have experienced.
Your advice pinpointed for me a couple of areas where I was going astray, especially in the composition of my photos and by helping me identify those areas you have restored my self confidence, which was seriously lagging.
If you can achieve what you did for me in just [that short time], then I would have to say you are a genius.
I cannot thank you enough
I will be back. Many, many thanks”

Verbatim Testimonial Quote from a consultation with Steadman Uhlich
On Steadman’s Six Minute Solution
“Hi my name is Jeffrey, I am from Davao, Philippines.
I have heard about this new service from Steadman Uhlich at PhotoMentors called the “Six Minute Solution.” As a mentee from PhotoMentors, Steady and I had a talk via Skype from several photos that we take a look at and some of these photos were quickly fixed and improved with Steadman’s “Six Minute Solution.”
I am totally amazed on how Steady made my snapshot photo look great and that you could even do it with a non professional camera in a short period of time.
He could provide some solution on how to improve your photo quickly, and that includes photos possibly taken from your camera such as; DSLR, point and shoot or even with a Mobile phone camera.
Just imagine how your photo will be quickly fixed or improve with a low cost session from a 10 year professional photographer who had his own art gallery exhibit shop.
Yes, only one photo per call but one photo could make a big difference on how you shoot the next hundreds or thousands of pictures in your life.“
Jeffery Wee
Davao, Philippines
A Verbatim Testimonial Letter from a series of Six Minute Solution Sessions with Steadman Uhlich
“As a hobbyist family photographer, I was a bit anxious about showing
some of my pictures to a pro for feedback.I can, however, not commend Steadman enough on his skills as a mentor.
He is a natural with how he approaches the areas where improvement can be made, taking his time to really make sure that you understand the points being made in a very easy-going and friendly dialogue.
His suggestions are efficient and to the point, focusing not only on the specifics of a particular photo, but also,
taking care to explain why and how this could apply to many other photos as well.
Highly recommended!”
David, Switzerland

Steadman’s Notes:
Bob is now on the path of making beautiful, Black & White, natural light portraits in a very limited space.
Philippe is finding new ways to look at his fine art photography subjects with renewed enthusiasm and confidence.
Jeffery is learning how to make photos of people that capture attention with compositions that are stronger and “Art Gallery Quality.”
Tim has regained his confidence in his work and is stimulated to try new compositions and new ways of presenting his vision to the viewer.
David now has a new set of conceptual visualization tools to use when composing his photos and working with his model. He is now able to see that there may be hidden beauty in a photo that can be discovered in just a few minutes…in fact, in Six Minutes or less!

Global Communications in English or Your Language (when possible)
What if English is not your first language?
What if your use of English is infrequent or limited?
What if you are not fluent in English?
What if your accent is strong?
You must speak some English to communicate with me, but you do NOT have to be fluent or your English could be “limited.”
English does not have to be your first language and you do not need a perfect accent. You do NOT have to be fluent in English. (see the testimonial letter down below).
I have studied 12+ languages other than English (my native language). I truly enjoy speaking with people from other countries, other cultures, and those who speak other languages.
I am accustomed to communicating with people who are using English as a second language. I regularly communicate with people who are from: Europe, the Middle East, Russia, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
I may be able to help you even IF your use of English is limited or IF you do not consider yourself fluent in speaking English.
Many people understand more English than they feel comfortable speaking. I understand that and why.
Many people who do NOT speak English frequently or fluently may feel inhibited about calling to speak using English.
Do not feel that way.
I am an expert in cross-cultural communication.
______________
I can help you and will do my best to communicate effectively with you in your language!
I may be able to help you by speaking to you in:
French
Spanish
Portuguese (Brazilian)
German
Dutch
Italian
Japanese
Russian
Swahili
Mandarin Chinese
Catalan
Norwegian
Swedish
Danish
Polish
Romanian
Finnish (coming soon)
Bahasa Malaysia (coming soon)
Bahasa Indonesia (coming soon)
Croatian (coming soon)
Serbian (coming soon)
Slovenian (coming soon)
Tagalog (coming soon)
So if you speak or understand one of those languages and some English or if you speak English fluently, we should talk!
I do not claim to be fluent in those languages (except English) and my accent in those languages may make you wince or laugh at times too. But I will try to help you in YOUR language as much as possible. I may be able to tell you (while speaking in one of those languages above) what I see that could be improved in your images/photos and how you could do it.
If you understand one of those languages and speak some English (even if not fluently), OR if you do speak English, you should be able to understand me and what I will be able to tell you about your photos that may help you improve your photography.
I will keep my comments simple, my speaking pace in English at a pace comfortable for you, and I will make Simple Suggestions™ you should be able to understand and apply even IF your use of English is limited. Read more about how this works on the Six Minute Solution page .

Seven ways you can help other photographers and yourself too!
Have you heard of Karma? Do you believe in the Golden Rule?
Karma is the belief that all deeds can shape the past, present, and future experiences. In the West, this is sometimes expressed by the Christian concept of “you reap what you sow.” In short, do good to others and good may come to you. I truly believe that helping others helps not only them, but also ourselves in ways we often cannot anticipate. Each action of good you do, can make the world a nicer place. Do you believe in the Golden Rule?

The newsletter will keep you informed when we have special offers and opportunities for our friends around the world. You will also learn about exclusive discounts and other nice things.
Don’t worry about receiving too many newsletters or emails from us. We only send out the newsletter infrequently, but when we do, there will be something of value in it for you. There will be many valuable and exclusive things coming in the future, including great opportunities for photographers, so don’t miss this easy way to hear about it first.
7. Look around this site. Soak it in. Imagine. Be inspired!
You might find something else that interests you or helps you. In 2011 I plan to have hundreds of pages of freely accessible educational content, and 5,000+ inspiring photos by Masters of Photography, and dozens of free educational videos.
I recommend seeing the Site Map (Table of Contents) so you can easily see the long list of articles, posts, and pages listed by topics.
If you would like to see if I can help you as a mentor, then just give me a call using the Skype button or the phone number at the bottom of each Page.
Finally, do what you can to help others post their photos and also get comments and have a good time doing so. That makes the world a nicer place and gives us all more nice photography to see on the net.
Thank you for your help.
Steadman
