Creativity Coaching, Photography Mentoring & Artist Development

ONE TO ONE MENTORING & CREATIVITY COACHING | PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO REVIEWS | GROUP MENTORING SESSIONS

I have been coaching people in some way, shape or form, on and off, for over fifteen years. My work with the human being began back when I was in sixth form in Welshpool High School and enrolled onto the Sports Leadership Award. This programme saw me and a small group of other participants venture into a local primary school to deliver practical sessions to the children. I still remember some of them to this day. I was particularly drawn some of the children that lacked confidence and self esteem, but were enthusiastic and wanted to become the best versions of themselves that they could be. I have always enjoyed working with people that possess a drive and dedication to simply try to see what they can achieve without too much expectation.

Since those earliest days, I am proud to be able to say that I have worked with many of these people as a football coach, personal trainer, creative practitioner, and now a creativity coach and photography mentor.

I am deeply passionate about helping people to unlock their own potential and become the highest versions of themselves. I love to work with people on every level, from the physical to the spiritual and psychological. In my world, it is all connected.

I believe that the thing that sets me apart in the world of photography and creativity is my unique mindset and the fact that I don’t believe in ‘failure'. I believe that every mistake is simply a stepping stone towards ‘success’ (whatever that might mean).

To me success is living a life that is in alignment with our highest truth. It is being able to wake up every day in complete control, and having the choice to walk a path that is our own, with a clear vision in mind of where we are going and how we are going to get there. I have made many mistakes along my own way so far, and I am proud of every single one of them. My own creative journey began back in 2018 following the breakdown of my first relationship and, now apparent, quarter-life crisis. I remember lying on my bedroom floor one evening in a pool of my own tears, feeling lost, broken and alone, without direction for my life and with no real sense of purpose.

Creativity has given me the greatest sense of purpose over the seven years since those darkest moments. I sit here writing this as the proud owner of my own creative business, making a real difference in the world through my photographs and writings. I have authored my debut photobook, titled, ‘Finding Light’, which is due for release in 2025, and I am a proud tutor for Light and Land. My writings and photographs have also been published in prestigious photography magazines, notably, On Landscape and Outdoor Photography. It is fair to say that this creative road, so far, has been a road worth travelling.

It is my greatest ambition to spend the next chapter of my life working with people like you on a one to one level and within the safety of a small group environment. I wish to pass on the knowledge and wisdom that I have accrued and share my own unique education to help and inspire you to explore your creativity, develop new skills, deepen self-knowledge, find a creative voice and vision, and build confidence and self-esteem as you pursue your highest potential and strive to become the best version of yourself.

Whether you are looking to find your voice and make sense of your life story to give your work new meaning, seeking accountability to see through a creative project, or hoping to turn your love of creativity into a blossoming new business, I can guarantee that I will be able to provide you with a memorable, productive, and fruitful experience through my creative coaching and mentoring services.

Customer Testimonials

  • Alexander S ★★★★★

    I had a fantastic zoom call with Brad to review some of my photography portfolio that I had sent over. I did not realise how much I needed this appointment/chat with Brad. What a great insight and appreciation that photography has to us as humans beings, on an artistic and metal welfare level. The insight, feeling and emotions that an image can give will sometimes get missed by the viewer, but not Brad we went into depth on images to find the meaning behind the image and the reason it was taken, this pulled at my creative mind and also made me realise that photography is just not a creative outlet for me, it is also a metal escapism. This review has highlighted my passion and reason on why I try to take photos for an emotion/metal welfare reasons.

    Just great Photography Therapy.

  • Paul A ★★★★★

    First met Brad at the Land and Light Exhibition in London a few weeks ago, then joined his closed Facebook page. Brad has a calming nature about him and is really easy to talk with. Via the Facebook page he was offering a free image review session, so I signed up as I'm always happy to talk photography! Not only did we discuss the images that I had sent to him, we also discussed my journey into photography, and how it helps me in everyday life. You can listen on his YouTube channel.
    Brad is an extremly good listerner and offers some really useful advice. I would highly recommend ! Thanks again Brad
