OVERVIEW:

Whether you’re working on a personal documentary project, or a conceptual series this workshop will provide a comprehensive guide to sharing your photography with the world. From traditional outlets like galleries and photo festivals to online platforms, print publications, and unexpected platforms, we’ll explore diverse pathways to get your fine art projects noticed.

Key topics covered include:

  • Approaching curators, photo editors, and creatives in the fine art photography space

  • Developing a compelling pitch that resonates with potential collaborators

  • Navigating competitions and festivals—Gain insights on which photography competitions and festival portfolio reviews are worth your time and effort.

Through case studies featuring emerging, mid-career, and established photographers, you'll gain clarity on your own approach to presenting your work. Led by Amber, an experienced photography editor & educator with deep industry knowledge, this seminar will illuminate opportunities you may not have considered and provide practical steps to elevate your visibility.

After the 3-session seminar, Amber will also offer individual portfolio reviews in a group setting, limited to 6 people per session. These 20-minute sessions provide tailored feedback on your project or conceptual series and are exclusively available to seminar participants.

You'll receive immediate reflections and actionable advice from Amber on how to move forward, no matter where you are in your creative process.
