Responsibilities of a Mentee
You agree to respect the time and experience of your mentor. The mentors have volunteered to take you under their wing and guidance, share their experience and knowledge.
When your mentor sets up a meeting time and place, once you RSVP, please be at the location on time. If you cannot, due to unforeseen circumstances, give them the courtesy of a minimum of 24-48 hours notice by phone or text. Do not leave them waiting. A last minute emergency warrants a last minute phone call or text!
No children, other family members or friends should attend a mentoring session.
Please be prepared. Bring what you need with you, it does you no good at home or in your car. Be prepared to carry your gear. No one is going to carry it for you. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Weather is not an excuse to stay home unless the mentor cancels.
Learn how to access basic controls for aperture, shutter speed and ISO ahead of time. Please download your camera manual onto your phone. These are available on the manufacturer’s website.
You must state that you agree to the Mentee Responsibilities listed above. If you do not, your request will be rejected.
