This is one hell of an experience
I’ve been in the film photography game for a few years now, and I’ve learned so much along my journey. Being a woman in the entertainment industry comes with its challenges and obstacles, but working with high profile clients, world-renowned companies, and managing my business has taught me a lot about how to be successful and stay creative in this field of work. If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that when it comes to my photography work, process, and style, I’ve always kept things top secret. But for a while now, I’ve been itching to train and support up-and-coming photographers, so…I think it’s time to announce this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For the first time ever, I’m excited to announce my 1:1 private mentorship program
If you are an aspiring film photographer (as a career or just for fun), this mentorship is for you. With my mentorship program, you’ll have free rein to pick my brain and learn exactly how Carianne operates and does her thing. When submitting your application, pour your heart into it and put your best foot forward, since I’ll only be choosing a handful of candidates to mentor. What’s important for me to learn about you? Why should I choose to mentor you over others? What makes your work unique and special? I’ll only be choosing people who are serious, dedicated, and committed to improving their photography and creative direction. If I think you’ll be a good candidate, you’ll receive an email from me with additional details about the mentorship opportunity.
What’s included
Hands on in-person studio photoshoot with direct access to shoot beside me on set and elevate your film photography skills
A model, hand chosen by me, who will bring 2 different looks in order for you to practice with a variety of lighting, framing, and posing
Open discussion (ask me anything!) about film cameras, tips on lighting your subject depending on the setting, how to make your subject feel comfortable when first working with them, etc.
My favorite rolls of film for you to use in your cameras
Film development at a local lab

“I’d known about Carianne for a little while from all the way over in New Zealand where I’m from and once I’d planned some travel to LA I couldn’t have been more excited to book one of Carianne’s 1-1 workshops. Everything felt easy from booking a date and meeting at the studio. The shoot was super fun, and it was nice to get to know everyone and make some friends out of it! (the most valuable part of all, hehe!) Once we could meet for the Q&A session I felt I could ask Carianne anything I needed to help move my photography career forward with helpful tips and advice from her experience so far. Which makes me excited for the future for both of us! This would be good for any level of photography from beginner to experienced - as i’ve been doing it for 12 years now, so if you’re in a rut or want to go in a new direction or just try something new. this would be amazing for any level! Carianne is a great mentor and friend!”
“Mentoring with Carianne was a dream! I loved shooting with her. She set up an amazing shoot for me, showed me how she did things, answered all of my questions, and was so fun to hang out with! Working with a successful woman in the industry was very educational and inspiring. I absolutely recommend mentoring with Carianne to all female film photographers and would love to do it again myself!”
“My mentorship with Carianne was such a wonderful experience! She was so easy to talk to and was super patient with all of my questions. I had never shot in a studio setting before and Carianne’s guidance made the whole process seamless and so much fun. Her mentorship gave me the confidence to begin reaching out to brands and individuals I’ve always wanted to shoot - some of which I have since shot! If you’re ready to go from snapping pictures as you see them to actually creating images, I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Your workshop was truly incredible and I had so much fun not just shooting alongside you and the model, but also actively talking with you guys and getting to know you better! It was also so amazing talking about different film stocks, which equipment you use and really like, and tips on how to get my work out there! It was truly such a great experience and I feel like I learned so much during my time with you! I would highly recommend your workshop to anyone looking to get more into film photography!”
“My mentorship with Carianne was notably a one of a kind experience and absolute magic. She really takes the time to engage with you and your craft, while guiding with a framework filled with her own personal knowledge and awe inspiring passion. From planning to execution to conversations, she made me feel so comfortable and confident again to create and work with an incredible model. I would absolutely recommend anyone to dive into this experience with not just an exceptional photographer, but with an exceptional woman!”
“A mentorship session with Carianne isn’t just a normal shoot, it’s truly the best guide to understanding photography first hand from someone who is self made in the industry and doing amazing work every day! She picked an amazing model, sourced the best clothes + location, & even provided film too. I learned way more than technical skills, I was able to understand the business of photography better. It’s an unforgettable experience for anyone wanting to dive deeper into photography, highly recommend!”
