BEFORE THE PORTFOLIO,THE PERSONALITY
LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP
Who are you in relation to your work?
Photographers are very good at creating images, but often lack the ability to communicate about their work and about themselves as artists.
In this intensive online workshop/class, Erik Kessels helps participants to communicate more clearly about themselves and to empower their personality in relation to their work. Being an author and being a promoter of your work are two completely different skills.
Over a period of several online meetings, Erik Kessels will prepare the participants for the possibilities and obstacles they will face in their professional career in the field of photography. The participants will work on several short written assignments to familiarise themselves with this facet of photography.
On a more practical note, budget preparations, work processes and decision-making will be shared in the lessons.
