Take your book’s photography from average to AWESOME.

Your membership has a Photo Foundations course built-in, and it’s designed to get any new photographer up to speed on the four pillars of exposure, composition, light, and story. The additional training sessions will expand on those areas as well as hit some general topics (action photography, portraits, lenses, editing, etc). And I want to teach what you want to learn, so I’m always open to requests from YPM members.

You can be as involved or as hands-off as you like! The teaching sessions are set up to be completely self-guided, so the burden of instruction is not on your shoulders. That being said, if you prefer to lead more hands-on then you can certainly take that approach.

Nope! The photo training sessions are in video form (though I suppose you could just listen if that’s your preference) but you’ll also have access to prompts for practicing newly-learned skills, q/a support, and additional ready-to-use resources for you and your staff.

Your students can definitely tag-team! If you decide to go with the minimum 2 accounts, one would be for you and the other could be tied to a generic e-mail address that all your staff can share (e.g. yearbookstaff@gmail.com). However, individual accounts would allow them to track their own progress as they work through the training sessions.

You bet! Add-ons are $25/user (with discounts available for adding multiple accounts).

YPM is for you if…
…you know photography is important but don’t know where to go next.
…your current method of photo instruction involves pointing your students to youtube and hoping for the best.
…you want to make photography more of a focus but don’t have time to master a new skill.
…you’re ready for your book to showcase more student-produced images and rely less on professional or crowdsourced images.
…you / your students have taken the beginning steps of the photography journey and want to go deeper.

The membership is valid for one year and can be renewed annually. Your license to use the products / services provided in YPM remains active as long as you are a member. You can cancel your membership at any time before your next renewal. If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you’ll be fully refunded. If you cancel after 14 days, your payment is non-refundable, and you will continue to have access to all membership benefits until the end of your contracted term. But you know, I’m confident the membership will provide you so much value that you wouldn’t even consider canceling (but if you do, let’s chat first to see if we can sort out whatever might be driving the decision).

Now that’s what I like to hear! I’m guessing we need to work through an invoicing process, so you can click any of the “join” buttons to get that process started. You’ll be kicked over to a short questionnaire, and you’ll simply fill that out to generate your customized purchase request form (e-mailed to you within 24 hours) that you can present to your administrator.
Once the request is approved, simply e-mail me a copy and I will send you a final invoice to submit to your purchasing agent. At that time you will also receive Adviser access to the online membership hub. Once the invoice is processed and payment is received, access for additional users will be provided.

Absolutely! My standard rate for private (virtual) coaching/consulting is $125/hr (1-hour minimum).

You’re thorough…I like it! Feel free to drop an e-mail to jonah@yearbookphotomentor.com, or better yet, how about a little (virtual) face-to-face time? I’d love to connect on a short Zoom session to dig a little deeper into the details of YPM. It’s 15 minutes, it’s free, and I have a feeling you’ll probably be able to slip in a photo question or two during our chat. 😉
