Let’s Connect: Mentorship, Prints & Collaborations

A brief and practical note.

After six years of writing here, I’m formalising something that has been happening informally for a while — people getting in touch to ask about prints, about learning, about working together. Which is lovely, and I’d like to make it easier.

So here’s where things stand:

Mentorship — I’m happy to work with photographers who want to develop their practice, whether that’s film, digital, or somewhere in between. One-to-one, remote or in person if you’re near the Vendée. We work on what you actually need, not a fixed curriculum.

Prints — A selection of black-and-white work from the Nantes series and elsewhere is available as archival prints. If something on the blog has caught your eye, get in touch and we’ll talk.

Collaborations — Photo walks, workshops, joint projects — I’m open to conversations. No guarantees, but I’m listening.

Article suggestions — If there’s something you’d like me to write about, say so. Reader questions have produced some of my better pieces.

The best way to reach me is ian@ijmphotography.net. I aim to reply within a couple of days. French is fine too — n’hésitez pas.

That’s it really. No agenda beyond making good work and occasionally sharing it with people who care about the same things.
