This is IbarianX and welcome to the Candid Frame.

Before we begin, I want to share something that I think you might find of interest.

A little more than a year ago, photographer Trey Radcliffe and his partner, Peter Giordano,

created something that they call the Arcanum.

Its intention is to be a unique way of learning and practicing photography.

Instead of just watching videos or attending large group workshops,

neither of which provide any hands-on experience,

the Arcanum intends to be the opposite of that.

Its intention is to create a personal mentorship experience where you work directly with a photographer to develop your skills, your talents, and your voice.

It's the rare kind of opportunity where you get the chance to work with a mentor who is

there to specifically work with where you are

and push you to go beyond your limits.

I was recently approached about joining the Archanam and after finding out more about it,

I was excited to join some other great photographers including Martin Bailey, Catherine Hall,

Verena Patel, and many others.

They are building an amazing community

that I encourage you to check out.

And if you find that it appeals to you,

fill out an application.

And if you're interested in studying with me as a mentor,

please mention me by name when you submit an application

and I'll keep an eye out.
