I’m taking on shooting a personal project in Bangkok in June with 9 other international photographers, here’s a little bit about it.
Personal work is key. There’s no such thing as a successful commercial photographer who only shoots commercial work. Properly thought through personal work leads to commercial commissions and puts the photographer in control, showcasing the way you want to shoot.
Art buyers and creatives are looking for photographers that can shoot campaigns.
Shooting a personal series that delivers narrative combined with a consistent personal aesthetic clearly demonstrates a photographer can shoot a campaign.
The 6-week Series Project programme has been designed specifically as a catalyst to help photographers refresh and refine their visual voices by completing a series of personal work. From conception, through planning, idea articulation & treatment to execution & edit selection, this is more than simply a workshop.
Each attendee will finish with a folio ready, PR-able photo series that echoes their personal style and purpose.
5 hour-long live webinar sessions over 5 weeks will culminate in 7 days shooting and critique on location in a carefully selected global city.
