Documentary photography is a superpower
Mentoring program for photographers who are serious about making career progress
“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
- Julia Child
let’s talk
Let’s talk about what you’re passionate about and the way to get to your next level
The documentary family photography is closely associated with photojournalism and is also applied to wedding photography.
These are areas where it is possible to absorb the main guidelines that we can teach. In my workshops we will cover this particular photography technique for families. An area that I am extremely passionate about and that I really want to share with everyone.
If you're feeling the need for guidance but uncertain about where to begin, the mentoring sessions 1:1 are here to support you!
Whether you want:
How to start?
Website Review
Portfolio Critique
Social Media Review
Finding Your Voice
Live Culling
Live editing
Lightroom workflow
or delve into the business aspects such as:
Client Interaction
Finding Your Target Market
Pricing
these topics are relevant and applicable, regardless your experience in photography.
HOW DOES MENTORING WORK?
Upon booking, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire.
It's crucial that you provide detailed information, sharing everything you wish to learn during your session.
Feel free to be completely honest and tell me every aspect you'd like to cover.
The more information I have, the more effectively I can assist you.
Once the questionnaire is filled out, we will schedule a convenient time for an hour call or a virtual coffee meeting.
4 hours mentoring zoom or in person at my office - tailored to you, including:
I will do a video call you for 30 minutes to chat over what you want to achieve and what level you are currently at - “meet and greet” are on me and will not cut in to your 1-on-1 time.
To help you embark on your journey of creating amazing work from the comfort of your own home, let's schedule two 2-hour time slots in the day that are convenient for you.
During these sessions, we'll work together and dive into the process.
Prices begin at 200€. Send me a message.

It all begins with an idea.
Maybe you want to launch your photography business.
Maybe you want to solve a problem. Maybe you want to cull a session.
Maybe you just want to talk about your doubts.

It’s a one hour meeting with 2 people. Me and you. It's used to give feedback, to talk about whatever you need help with, resolve issues, and give you some tools to grow in your role.

" workshop documental de família que me trouxe uma lufada de ar fresco, onde o imperfeito pode ser perfeito e onde o caos pode ser belo"
“Sou fotógrafa de famílias num registo lifestyle, onde tudo é quase que alinhado perfeitamente, a pose, a luz, o ambiente, tudo é de certa forma pensado. Confesso que não deixei o lifestyle de lado, mas na verdade ficou diferente, ficou mais arrojado, mas liberto, mais autêntico e a culpa é do workshop documental de família que me trouxe uma lufada de ar fresco, onde o imperfeito pode ser perfeito e onde o caos pode ser belo.
A Marisa tem um dom, para além da fotografia onde tem um registo único, tem o dom de nos contagiar com a sua energia, a sua beleza interior, o seu espírito feliz, tem o dom da partilha, sem pudor, sem medos e de forma genuína dá tudo o que tem.” Daniela Sousa

"Alterou o meu mindset ao fotografar."
“O workshop da Marisa foi sem dúvida, essencial e uma fonte de inspiração na minha evolução enquanto fotógrafa. Não só alterou o meu mindset ao fotografar, pensado sempre num propósito quando eternizo cada momento mas também na forma como observo e fotografo a luz.” Raquel Ponte
