Education, Mentorship & Creative Support for Photographers

Learn photography with Julia Dunin through one-to-one mentoring, business guidance and workshops, led by an award-winning photographer and educator with over 20 years of professional practice.

Where creativity meets clarity, and vision meets action.

Alongside my commercial and editorial work, I offer tailored education and mentorship for photographers who want to refine their portfolio, strengthen their on-line presence and approach their work with intention - creatively and professionally.

What I offer

Portfolio Review
In-depth feedback on your work with a focus on coherence, visual language, editing decisions, and direction. We look at what is working, what can be refined, and how your portfolio communicates your strengths.

Mentoring (minimum 3 months)
A longer-term mentoring relationship designed to support growth over time. This may include creative development, project guidance, confidence building, industry positioning, and navigating the realities of professional photography. Ideal for photographers seeking continuity, accountability, and depth rather than quick fixes.

One-on-one Consulting
Focused sessions addressing specific challenges - creative blocks, career direction, pricing, positioning, or preparing for the next stage of your practice.

Marketing Advice
Strategic, realistic guidance on how to communicate your work. This includes brand clarity, messaging, content direction, and attracting the right clients without losing integrity or burning out.

Website Audit
A clear, honest review of your website: structure, image selection, flow, SEO, tone of voice, and how effectively it represents you and your work. Practical recommendations you can implement immediately.

All education and mentoring sessions are delivered online.

Workshops & Speaking

I am available for photography conferences, institutions, and organisations as a speaker or workshop facilitator.

My workshops focus on creative process, visual storytelling, production, lighting, direction, and the thinking behind making meaningful images.

Testimonials

  • "I signed up for a virtual 1:1 mentoring session with Julia over Skype to talk about my photography ambitions. Julia is a wealth of knowledge and she tailored the session to my questions and experience. She helped me understand what to focus on in the near and longer term, how to stay business-minded, and gave me a ton of resources to keep me busy learning long after our session. Since the session, she has stayed in touch and provided additional tips and introductions to people that can help with my progress. I will definitely be signing up for more sessions, worth every penny."

  • "I am an enthusiastic photographer and I got a new camera, lenses and the most important a PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE WITH JULIA, as a present from my husband. I couldn’t be happier to have such an amazing photographer as my teacher. Julia was very friendly from the very first moment we met, I really felt like I am just having a cup of tea with a friend, btw one of the best photographers in Ireland :) With a new camera I wanted to learn how to use manual mode only, so we went through the most important rules I need to follow to get the best pictures. Believe me, it was a challenge :) I can highly recommend her as a photographer and a teacher. Julia is definitely that type of a person, you would like to have in your life…even just for a little while, like me :) Thank you very much Julia, it was a huge pleasure to meet you"
