Your photo business can be lonely at times.
As creatives, we often stand alone, without a team to help decide on the best moves going forward.
With photography mentoring, and as your personal brainstorming buddy, we can push through this isolating block and get right to the core issues. Giving you the team you need to help you grow, and achieve your creative dreams.
Michael Stewart Patrick Kent
I am a portrait photographer, and photo educator. Half of the creative team at Allen-Kent Photography, but also founder/lead educator at Photo Club.
At the most basic level, I believe that photography is a powerful art form with the ability to capture moments, empower people to do amazing things, and remind us what it is to be human. Our photography seeks to speak to the authenticity in the moments and people that we capture, while revealing and creating something a touch deeper.
Our education philosophy also stems from the same understanding. In photography mentoring, I continuously strive to enrich, uplift, and help creatives reach the potential they have hidden inside.

What are we doing?
- It begins with an in-depth Q and A session.
- Next we will head out and shoot together, where I can show you exactly how I photograph. either portraits, couples, or families.
- During this time, you will also be shooting, and exploring what you have learned.
- Finally we will go over the process by which we manage our images, edit, and deliver to our excited client!
