About Me as a Photography Mentor: I’ve spent over 30 years behind the camera as a professional photographer, creative director, and visual storyteller. Through Todd Van Fleet Photography, I’ve built a body of work that spans fine art photography, commercial campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, and adventure-driven projects that push me to capture the raw beauty of nature in unforgettable ways. Alongside my fine art practice, I’ve also founded and grown multiple creative ventures, from a content studio designed for other creators, to a creative agency that produces high-impact photo and video campaigns. This journey has given me a deep well of experience in every corner of photography: composition, lighting, storytelling, working with clients, building a personal brand, and navigating the business side of a creative career. How I Can Help You: If you’re just starting out in photography, I know how overwhelming it can feel, learning the technical side, finding your style, and figuring out how to get your work noticed. I can help you: Build confidence with your camera: breaking down technical settings and gear choices in a way that makes sense. Develop your creative eye: learning how to see light, color, and composition in ways that bring your photos to life. Find your voice as a photographer: helping you discover what inspires you and how to shape that into a unique style. Learn the business of photography: from pricing and pitching, to working with clients, to building a brand that gets noticed. Navigate the creative journey: sharing strategies I’ve used to balance passion projects, fine art, and commercial work while staying inspired. Discover your niche: narrowing down what truly excites you in photography so you can focus your energy, grow faster, and attract the right audience or clients. Find inspiration in nature: showing you how the outdoors can fuel creativity, train your eye for detail, and help you connect your work to something bigger. Photography has taken me on some incredible adventures around the world, opened doors to work with world-class brands, and allowed me to create art that connects with people on a deep level. But more than anything, I love that photography is a craft anyone can learn, grow in, and use to tell their own story. I mentor because I want to give back what I’ve learned: the shortcuts, the mindset shifts, the technical tricks, and the encouragement that I wish someone had given me when I was starting out. Helping new photographers step into their creativity and confidence is something I’m genuinely excited about.
