You'll talk about your current style, interests, and where you want to take your photography.

Next 20 minutes — Portfolio critique
Your mentor will review your work and give detailed feedback on composition, storytelling, editing, and how your portfolio communicates your vision.

Next 20 minutes — Career insight
You may discuss editorial work, working with magazines, building relationships with stylists and models, and developing strong personal projects.

Last 10 minutes — Clarifying direction
You'll use the final part of the session to reflect on the discussion and clarify a few areas you may want to focus on next.

Biography

Justin French (b. 1988) is a photographer and director synthesizing fashion, documentary, and classical portraiture to bridge historical tradition and modern identity. Utilizing the photographic frame as a "philosophical polity," he recontextualizes contemporary subjects through ancient and self-authored mythologies to examine collective perceptions of power and vulnerability. Since his 2017 debut at Red Hook Labs, French has exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, Rencontres d’Arles, and the Detroit Institute of Arts, while building an elite commercial portfolio for global leaders including Vogue, Louis Vuitton, Nike, and the Royal Ballet. Named to the British Fashion Council’s New Wave Creatives and the Dazed 100, French is defined by a commitment to elevating underrepresented perspectives through a visual language that is simultaneously timeless and urgent.
