Breaking Through

Project Lab Seminar • August 27, 2021

“There are certain things photographers could be doing when it comes to promoting their work & boosting visibility” — Christy Havranek, HuffPost

The Breaking Through: Editing for Impact seminar will focus on utilizing the editing process to amplify your voice. The presenters will discuss honing a statement of purpose, editing and sequencing strategies, and effective presentations for image professionals. Learn how to tailor material for specific audiences, and the do’s and don’ts of submitting your work to awards, grants, and publications. On the second day, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their individual projects and receive feedback from each other as well as specific editing and sequencing advice from the presenters.

HOW TO PREPARE • We recommend having at least 20 images and upwards of 35 to edit and sequence for your project if you are looking for work-in-progress feedback.
