By popular demand, Mari Vendrame now conducts personal mentoring sessions for photographers, hair and makeup artists and stylist. All sessions are informal and oneon one.

Mari’s promise is to excite, motivate, focus, stimulate and refine your creative mind and direction. Sessions are suited to the independent, already established artist, who is wanting to take their work to another level – both visually and financially – OR – to the new artist who needs advice on their current work, their portfolio and what they need to do to get them to the next level.

Mari is known for her mentoring of talent in this industry and has nurtured some of Australia’s, and the world’s, most exciting talent including: ‘USA Celebrity Photographer of the Year’, Tony Duran and makeup artist, Shane Paish, who in January 2010, was named ‘International Beauty Director for  Dior’.

Mari encourages artists who are starting out in their careers to remember that both these incredible talents had less than ten shots in their book when they first came to her for advice. What they had in abundance was PASSION AND VISION… and someone beside them who nurtured their dreams!
