My average day mentoring at Jim Haynes is rather relaxing without many high pressures. As far as protocol goes, we begin with with small tasks, sorting pictures, creating albums, selecting pictures for said albums, etc. Then either share information about new ideas for photography, whether it be new poses, different approaches/angles, or intel on upcoming events. However, there is order at the studio. In the end, Haynes has the last say whether a certain photo is placed to be proofed or how a banner should ultimately be created. But communication is no struggle between us. Sense it is only he and I, we have relaxed conversations and I am open to give my ideas and comments freely.
As far as dressing goes, we dress casually. His studio is placed at his home so I often see him dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. Gradually, as I became comfortable in the setting I began to dress casually as well and it is acceptable. Because of this, I feel we both are more relaxed and can be at ease.
Overall, the mentorship has provided me with valuable information and helpful programs to use in photography.I know which programs to better use to store my pictures, edit photos, and print photos. Also bits of advice like how to set my camera for certain events and critiques on my photos as to how to make them better are helpful as well. Things are going very well and I'm still enjoying it since day one.
