PSA Member Education: Mentor Services


Mentor Services 


Are you a PSA member? If so you can participate in study groups; these allow you to receive more frequent comments about your photographs than a typical camera club may provide. If you are not a member, think about joining, there are lots of PSA member perks, including things like discounts, the monthly PSA journal, Free online Individualized Photography Course, Advanced Photography Course, and Image Analysis Course, Free Study Groups: online for digital images and via mail for prints and Free Species Identification Services


our own Andrey Antov is the Insect Photography Mentor

Definition: Insect Photography is the photography of insects. The difference between Insect Photography and Insect Close-Ups is that Insect Photography allows all photos of insects, whether they are up close or in a distance when you are photographing. References & Resources

PSA members who wish to explore a specific photography topic, whether this is a new interest or a topic that the member has previously explored, have available PSA members who have experience regarding the topic and are willing to share their expertise as a Mentor. The exploration of this limited photography topic takes place via email and may include the sharing of images.

PSA members should look at the topics listed below and click on the words that describe a topic the member wishes to explore. Each Mentor webpage has the Mentor's portrait and email address, a description of the topic, a list of references and/or resources, and photographs by the Mentor that illustrate the topic. The topic description, the references, and the Mentor's illustrative photos should be carefully reviewed before contacting the Mentor.

An added feature of this service is the arrows at the top of each Mentor page which allows a member to go from one topic to the next without having to return to this Mentor Services page. Members who have experience in a topic that is not listed here, and are willing to share this experience with other PSA members, should contact the Mentor Committee Chair.

Mentors may not be able to return a member's email immediately if they are working or on a photo trip, and their travel schedule is private. If a Mentor does not respond in a week's time, please send another email to the Mentor. If the Mentor does not respond following two weeks and two emails, please contact the Mentor Committee Chair.
