"It's an amazing experience, like getting a free graduate course in photography - with the most supportive and talented classmates you could imagine. You'll work hard, you'll learn new things, you'll hone your craft - and you'll have a wonderful time." ~ Pat Kight
Wonderful work from your time in Sam Breach's mentorship, Pat!!

For anyone who has read this far, consider mentoring someone else here (or more) ... some people don't even know where to start with their cameras and you could be the change they need in their lives. Even the smallest bit of knowledge can be passed on and you can create your mentorship in many different ways. Imagine the feeling of taking someone to their next level, paying forward the knowledge you've received and watching someone blossom with enthusiasm and accomplishment!

For the past eight weeks, I've been privileged to be part of my second G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers , this one on the subject of Isolation, mentored by the inimitable Sam Breach, one of the truly outstanding photographers and teachers on G+.
It's graduation time, and we're finally allowed to publicly share some of the work we've produced, including the final project album (hopefully) illustrating some of the things we've learned about the many, many techniques for isolating a subject - by color, by contrast, by position, by framing, by depth of field - to create a more interesting composition, convey a mood or tell a story. I've chosen to include several images from earlier weeks that challenged, enlightened or surprised me.
It's been a thrilling, invigorating and challenging two months (can it really be two months?). I thought I knew some things about isolation, but with Sam's assignments, guidance and help, and the friendly support of my fellow mentees, I've learned so much more. And, as with my earlier mentorship in Blur and Unsharp Photography, led by Alex Lapidus, I'm finding that I've internalized the lessons and made them part of my photographic toolkit, making me a better photographer.
I strongly urge any photographer, no matter how experienced (or inexperienced), no matter what kind of gear you use, to follow the Mentorship page and consider signing up for the next mentorship you see announced. It's an amazing experience, like getting a free graduate course in photography - with the most supportive and talented classmates you could imagine. You'll work hard, you'll learn new things, you'll hone your craft - and you'll have a wonderful time.
Finally, special thanks to Robin Griggs Wood, Ron Clifford and Tamara Pruessner for dreaming up and conducting this remarkable endeavor and enlisting so many excellent and generous photographers to lead the mentorships. You are the sorts of people who lift G+ above "social network" and into something finer and more valuable.

Thanks so much! I'm continuing to use what I learned in this mentorship (and Alex Lapidus earlier Blurs and Unsharp mentorship) every single day, with good results. More and more, I look at each shoot as an opportunity to create a new body of work, or expand on one I've started. When I get stuck on a composition, I think "isolation, isolation." I hope everyone who sees this considers applying for the next Mentorship that comes along!
