Trying to put together a photographic project is a little like a love affair. At first you know very little apart from the shiny surface. Your gut tells you there is something worthwhile, but you can´t articulate exactly what. So you trot along, happily. Until, after a while, you inevitably reach a critical moment where you must decide: should I stay or should I go?
This two-day workshop is specially tailored to helping the participants move their photographic project into the next phase. It is ideal for those who have already started a body of work and need feedback, ideas and inspiration to continue. It will also include practical exercises on portraits and tackling the biggest devil of all: overcoming your fear of rejection.
The workshop will also cover the following themes:
- Best practice for developing projects. How to structure your work. Finding a narrative.
- Mixing fact and fiction in storytelling.
- Getting the work out. About exhibitions and photobooks.
- Rejection therapy. A practical guide to portraits.
- Feedback on each individual project.
