Mentorship

Some words from previous students

‍

"I joined Noah's mentorship program specifically to learn from his artful use of studio lighting: he is the Rembrandt of the reflector, the Sargent of the softbox, the Botticelli of the beauty dish. While his immense talents as a photographer are plain to see, his skills as a teacher and mentor came as a revelation to me. Noah was incredibly generous with his time and knowledge and inspired me to not just learn the specific skills I had come for but to much more holistically engage with the art and business of professional photography. I recommend his mentorship program without reservation to anyone wanting to up their photography game!"

"One thing that really stands out about Noah is how effortlessly he balances two worlds — his incredible artistic vision and his deep understanding of business, which he skillfully applies to grow as a professional. I like how he explains complex business concepts in simple, easy-to-digest language. It’s both inspiring and extremely helpful. He also has remarkable industry experience and is always open about sharing his own insights!
‍
What I appreciate most is that he’s not just talking at you — he’s a great listener, which turns each session into an interactive, fun dialogue rather than a one-way lecture.
Last but not least, Noah is incredibly friendly and has a great sense of humor, making the whole mentorship journey so much more enjoyable!"

His wealth of knowledge in tandem with his candidness made this experience a memorable one, and many pages of notes later I am so grateful this truly rare opportunity came my way."

"I’ll start with the most important point: I can’t recommend Noah’s Mentorship enough. It was an incredibly enriching and game-changing experience. Noah is not only a fascinating person with extensive experience, but he also has the rare ability to switch between a big-picture view and detailed focus in an instant. His blend of experience and continuous learning is truly remarkable.

We covered a wide range of topics, and I found answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. After each session, I felt inspired, motivated, and, most importantly, ready to take action. Thanks to Noah, I wasn’t just inspired—I actually got things done.
