Art Photography Mentoring
OPEN SUMMER 2024
Open enrollment for 2024 students/ limited space
If you are ready to deepen your photography practice and take leaps in advancing your skills, this summer I will be offering intensive mentoring. I have ten immediate openings starting June 17, 2024.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Rosemary Dai Ross is a Seattle-based commercial photographer primarily focused on community development with King 5 News, ACT Theater, Pike Place Market Foundation, Seattle Weekly, local and national political figures, musicians, actors, journalists, and artists.
Her experience as a full-time photographer for twenty-plus years has made her well-rounded in commercial, fine art portrait, lifestyle, photojournalism, editorial, product, branding, and event. With her work published in magazines, newspapers, on billboards, buses, websites, social media, and window treatment marketing and
advertising.
She has received her Bachelor of Arts in Art with Departmental Honors,
with a minor in ART History
Division of Art, School of Art + Art History + Design,
University of Washington
Rosemary works with mixed media, photography, animation, sculpture, and installation as an artist. She has been shown in various galleries, including Jacob Lawrence, in the spring of 2022 gallery C and 2023 gallery D.
THE STUDENT:
As a student with Rosemary, you will experience a unique journey tailored to your individual interests and expertise. You will receive a one-on-one assessment of your current level of interest and expertise, and together with Rosemary, you will chart a pathway for your artistic development. Whether interested in beginning photography, creative practice, or commercial development, you will acquire a crucial skill set in the areas you wish to explore. Through assignments, practice, lectures, research, personal guidance, and critique, your ideas will be nurtured and expanded, helping you to develop and commit to your goals. Rosemary warmly welcomes students from ages ten and up. Younger students will immerse themselves in artistic practice, while adult students may wish to delve into more specific goals related to their chosen field of study.
As Rosemary's student, you are provided with a safe and creative space to curate and create. Our critiques are designed to foster critical thinking, not criticism. Critical thinking critique is a valuable skill set that will empower students to delve deeper into the 'what' and 'why' behind their work without fear of judgment or negativity.
Students fees

$1,200
starting June 17- August 23 (with vacation accommodations)
*We will meet twice a week for six weeks (in person, Zoom, hybrid) for your chosen time slot.
*after your assessment, we will focus on a student-led project that will become a body of work (portfolio or series). This summer program is your chance to COMMIT to artistic development and your body of work with a 30-year artist in practice.
*These are one-on-one sessions, with a blend of curated group critiques and weekly assignments that may include reading/short film and practice. Students will bring their work to class, finished or unfinished, to push technique development and deepen their authentic style. Students can either continue into the Fall enrollment or use their last session for a plan of action. That is continued practice, submitting to shows, or bringing their portfolio for public commissions.
