NIKON AWARD, IMAA Mentorship Program

Wow! I can’t believe I’m the winner of the Nikon Award, IMAA Mentorship Program 2025/2026!

I’m so honoured and forever grateful!!!

A big thank you to Image Makers Association Australia and Nikon Australia for this incredible mentorship opportunity, and especially to my amazing mentor Sam Scoufos who has been the best mentor I could have ever dreamed of!! Sam has been so welcoming and generous with his time. Invited me along to so many photoshoots, sharing his knowledge, support, kindness, and guidance throughout the mentorship program. He has constantly encouraged me, believed in me, and given valuable feedback that has helped me grow so much in my image making, and introduced me to the industry in such a meaningful way. His professionalism inspires me, and so does his exceptional quality of his work. Sam holds such high standards, and it’s clear in his dedication and commitment to always deliver outstanding work. This mentorship has been such a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
